With all the Panthers have invested, this is nothing. Just got to play the game.

It will get done. 

Exactly.

BY and his agent want to maximize his income.  Rightfully so. The Panthers organization want to minimize risk. Rightfully so. Both groups need the contract signed and have BY in camp on time.  The sausage making will get done this week because it is in everyone’s best interest to do so.

This article pretty much has all the info of the inner workings and whats going on. Basically teams have leverage on WHEN the signing bonus is paid and for a lot of players they pay in 2 to 4 installments, unless strickly negotiated to force the team to pay them a lump sum all at once. This is the only hang-up. Most QB's drafted first (except Kyler) get a lumpsum of their signing bonus deposited into their account within 15 days of signature of the contract. Teams want to break it up over a year in 4 installments usually. Bryce will get his lumpsum just like Trevor Lawrence, Sam Darnold, and Trevon Walker (some of the most recent players to get lump sums)

No you don't.  It's gone to hell over the past decade or so.

The article makes total sense, but it also then makes it seem very odd that Bryce isn't signed yet for a couple reasons.

First, we have one of the richest owners in the sport, so it's surprising that when he pays out Bryce's signing bonus would be a sticking point for him, hard to see cash flow being an issue for him, so whether you pay it all to him at signing, 2 weeks later, or a month later, what's the difference to him?

Second, Bryce has already seemingly done really well with his endorsements, the kid isn't hurting for money right now.  So why is it a big deal to him if he gets his money as soon as he signs or has to wait a few weeks to a month or so to get a portion of if?

I always thought the sticking point in these was the offset language, that agents hate because it can cost their clients money if they end up getting cut before the rookie deal is over.  But this article makes it seem like it's more about when they get their bonus money, which is even stranger as it seems like it's either immediate or in installments a few weeks apart.  

So why delay the signing?

If they signed right away, they'd already have their full bonus by now with how most of these contracts are structured it seems, very odd all around.

The place that seemed to have the best consistency, was the one in the American Airlines terminal at CDA. I would always stop there before catching a flight home, and never had any quality issues. But yeah, outside of that one the quality was hit or miss, with miss most of the time. 

If brought out here though, there's probably different worker standards and laws. I think any franchise is really dependent on the store management.

Yeah, if ive learned anything its that the rich people that got rich enough to buy a team are often the pettiest people in the world. Doesn't matter that they can lift a pinky and transfer $50mil to you tomorrow, its that they know they dont have to do that and instead make you wait. Its all just a power play, pride, and ego from some of the most vein class of people to ever exist on the face of the planet.

Rich people are poor people with money.  Doesn't make it any less annoying though
