Or otherwise...

Mentioned in another thread that I could see Tepper offering the GM job to Browns executive Catherine Raiche, not necessarily because she's the best candidate (she may or may not be, I don't know) but because it would make headlines and help him look like a hero. Hiring an analytics type rather than a traditional personnel guy could also be an option.

The same could be true of somebody like Eric Bieniemy. I don't really expect he'll be the best candidate available in the next cycle, but he could conceivably be one that would take the job. And then Tepper could crow about being the person who finally offered him the head coaching job people think he deserves.

Tepper absolutely strikes me as someone who'd be willing to take a short term "feel good" bump for hiring someone, even if it meant getting a person who wasn't really the best option 😕

Fitterer has another year at least. 

I suspect we will get our 4th or 5th option of HC candidate.

Very possible, and that's the vibe I get from Russini.

But even if he waits and looks for a new GM next year, the same principle applies.

It will be interesting to see. He seems to make wild swings in direction so I sort of expect him to get some veteran GM that is long past his prime and perhaps has been on the shelf for years. Then surround him with a bunch of analytics nerds that feed him info he has no idea what to do with.

So, basically the same construction as our current coaching staff but in the FO.

There is also this.  Didn't see Pat M show, but if true then it is exactly what some have said.  Want money, come in get the contract and get fired.  Easy money.  Want to win, stay away.

 Carolina last had a winning season in 2017 — a year before Tepper bought the team.

Pagano, who is a regular guest on “The Pat McAfee Show,” was asked by McAfee on Thursday whether the Panthers job is desirable to prospective coach candidates. Pagano gave a blunt 2-word answer.

“Hell no,” Pagano said.

Pagano, who coached the Indianapolis Colts from 2012-2017, said that the only reason to take the job is if a coach is looking to secure a big pay day.

“Why would you (take the job)? Other than, ‘hey, I need a guaranteed contract of $50 [million], OK, fine.’ But, [coaches] are competitors. They want to win and they want to win championships.

“You want to go somewhere where you got great ownership, you got a great partnership with a GM that they’re going to put you together with … you guys have the same vision, same philosophy … but you can’t go down to a place that … you can’t be successful right now [in Carolina]. Now if you want just the money, go get the money, get the check and get run out of town after 11 ballgames …”

After Pagano shared his thoughts, McAfee noted that the former Colts head coach is still connected to many coaches around the NFL. McAfee was implying that Pagano’s thoughts reflect the prevailing sentiment among coaches regarding the Carolina job.

Tepper has sealed the Panthers into an owners fantasy team. Tepper will control every aspect of the team & delegate all responsibilities to be done according to his plan & metrics.

He's been a math/data/finance guy since his college years. He's clearly focused on proving he can solve & revolutionize the NFL.

Tepper will be used as a stepping stone until he finds the next Bill Walsh merging Brown, Gilman & military analytics.

It's going to be several dark years until Tepper finds his football genius who revolutionizes the game to eclipse the Walsh-McVay dominance rooted in Stanford/Cal/Silicon Valley.

      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.
