Being a Panthers fan is like being (fill in the blank)...

Kicked in the balls, repeatedly, over and over and over.  Then paying to be kicked in the balls, and returning each and every week to be kicked in the balls for 3 hours.  17 times a year.  Then, when ball kicking season is over, doing research and talking about getting your balls destroyed for 6 months.  Then, having a fleeting moment of hope that maybe you will not get kicked in the balls for 17 weeks.  Only for the ball kicking to continue each and every week, year after year after year, until you die.

Being a Panthers fan is like having a child you've raised who you no longer speak to.  

They were a pretty good baby, had some rough down years as a toddler and through elementary school, got better and was decently behaved in middle and through high school with some rough years sprinkled in. Then once they went to college they completely changed who they were, got into a super toxic abusive relationship and are now a massive failure and complete loser. Now your kid hates you and you hate them and you don't speak anymore. 

Despite all the years of work and effort you put into raising this kid, none of it ended up mattering, they hate you now and they're just a massive disappointment to you in the end.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • 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.
