And if I'm not mistaken teams can only speak with agents and not the players directly. 

The whole thing was just CYA. Everyone knows that tampering is a way of life. Having this "legal tampering" period just removed the awkwardness of having complicated multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts signed mere minutes after FA opened while pretending all that got negotiated out and agreed to in less than ten minutes. It was always completely absurd. This is just window dressing

We have the best defense in the division.

 

We very well may have the best QB in the division. We are a #1 WR away from being the favorites to win the division. We would basically replace DJ with a better WR in Hopkins.

 

How is that crazy?

Rookie QBs don't win divisions and we are not a #1 WR away because the rest of the room stinks.  Plus, Nuke is washed.

That's why that statement was nuts.Eye Googly Eyes GIF

Panthers are expected to kick the tires on Jakobi Meyers (no rhyme intended). Will depend on his interest and willingness to structure his contract to suit them.

I like it, another Jericho Cotchery type.  The price has to be right though.  He's solid, but not worth breaking the bank to acquire.

Either you hell of high on Derek Carr or you hell of low on the QB's in this draft.

 

Hopkins isn't washed he was suspended for 7 games and was only 300 yards behind DJ Moore in receiving yards.lmao

 

We gotta stop overrating DJ Moore on this board. He's a borderline #1 more of a high end #2 WR.

How many rookies have won their division??

Honestly, not that crazy to think that it can happen.  Look at the division we're in.  Other than the Saints, Panthers really well could, if the QB plays like a #1 pick.  Assuming they bring Boze and Foreman back, we have a RB threat and great O-line unit.  Defense should play well in this new scheme.  We have the personnel and the proper coaches.  Pass catchers is mainly what we need now and I'm sure it is going to get addressed.

Bucs, no way, they'll tank this year.

Falcons, seem like they're rolling with Ridder, nope for them either.

Saints really are the main threat for the divison.

Name rookie QBs that have won their division.  I'll wait.  That's a lot of research for such a small list....if you can call it a list.  Let's not go back to the before the 90's, just the past 30-ish years to save you some time.

Yes it is. Agents are always talking to teams about their client's. Especially if their clients are pending FA's. That's why as a player you should have an agent.  Lamar has really hurt himself by not having one.

If you scared go to church!

 

 

I do go to church, but not because I'm scared....irrelevant to the conversation.

Anyway, if we DO happen to win the division it's for the simple fact it's the weakest division in the NFL.  We have the Saints to beat, that's all.  The Bucs and Falcons are in worse shape than we are.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
