so back in 2011, Cam Newton who played his CFB in the state of Alabama, was drafted by the Panthers #1 overall, he wore #2 his whole life - being the middle child. The number was important to him. He offered a ton of money to Jimmy Clausen, a QB that attended Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, CA. A QB that was drafted by the Panthers day 2 the year prior. Jimmy denied Cam Newton which resulted in him wearing #1. Jimmy then switched to #7 after Jason Baker left like an asshole. The rest is history.

fast forward 12 years later, the Panthers draft Bryce Young who played his CFB in the state of Alabama, was drafted by the Panthers #1 overall, he wore #9 his whole life. That number currently belongs to Matt Corral, a QB that attended Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, CA. A QB that was drafted by the Panthers day 2 the year prior. 

Matt already seems salty, and his College number #2 is now available. Does he give #9 to Bryce? Does he be an asshole and say no and then switch the next year just before being cut?

This is some Lincoln / Kennedy poo for real.

If he doesnt give up #9, trade or cut him because he is just being a bitch.

I could not have said it any better. However, I feel that Matt Corral will take the high road by  giving Bryce Young the # 9 and getting his previous  #2 college jersey number.

Aren’t the rules about changing your jersey number? Like you have to apply for it by a certain date and then you have to offer to buy back some of your jersey sales? Bryce is going to have to pay him for it.

Sounds like you have to pay for any retail ready inventory the nfl has ready. Dalvin Cook had to pay 1.5 million to change his. Not sure what MC would have to pay.

Reality is, a second year player drafted in the 3rd round….should feel he can be the man.  Regardless of what the team does. Act that way too.  That’s in theory what we want the roster full of. 

I got no problem if Corral keeps the number.  I’d sell it though.

I wouldn't even give him the chance to say not to Bryce, particularly after that post yesterday.

Tepper should have texted him last night telling him he needs to pick a new number as they gave #9 to Bryce.

What post, do share!

I don’t imagine there are many retail ready Matt Corral jerseys floating around.

Maybe not but I’m sure he sold a chunk after he got drafted and I’d wager a lot of Carolina area nfl stores would have his jersey in it even if there aren’t a ton. And he fell in the draft so he’s not making like 8 million dollars this year. It’s going to be up to Bryce to pay him I’d imagine. 
 

Matt posted a picture of himself today showing off that number 9.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
