He’s literally approaching Musk/Bezos space so I say spend it on our front office and coaching staff, let’s go…

Don't go overboard. The Broncos owners are like twice as rich as Tepper and they're no where close to Musk/Bezos. I mean Musk lost 200 billion this year and it didn't know him off his perch as the richest asshole in the world.

Yeah, front office and staff is where spending big can make a real difference since there's no salary cap there. Go out and hire the best people available and GTFO of their way and let them do their jobs.

It’s literally the only advantage he has.  

You can’t overpay for players, but you can overpay for experts.  Get some f’ing experts and PAY them.

The Broncos owners (multiple) are Walmart heirs and Musk no way lost $200B, he’s not even worth that.  

Just saying, 90th richest person in the world is insane rich.  Like Michael Jordan isn’t in the Top-1000.

There's a lot of other articles out there saying the same thing

Okay correction, you’re correct, I looked it up.  Tepper is the 3rd richest owner in American Pro sports.

Ballmer - Clippers (~ $110B)

Walton - Broncos (~ $57B)

Tepper - Panthers (~ $21B)

Gilbert - Cavaliers (~ $18B)

Jerry Jones is a distant (~ $13B)

Cuban is ~ $6B

I just want a quarter of one.

Pocket change for Tepper

True, but it's all about perceived value. The kid should just be happy to get an NFL head coaching gig in my opinion. What has he really proven? 

Now from his perspective, I can see trying to get everything you can get, but from a thoughtful owner's perspective I'm simply not going to pay that kind of money until I see some concrete results over time.

Any coach that has other options will definitely have to be over paid to deal with Teppers poo until he changes his reputation. 

Johnson is putting this out there to let Tepper know that is the least he is going to take from him to deal with this clown show as his first head coaching job.

That's the funny thing, most if not all franchises aren't willing to touch 15M for a first time HC.  Yet he could get close to that if he pretty much begs anyone else to get close to that number to do a deal lol. That or he gets his 15+ in CAR but has a really well written contract that guarantees him x amount of years job security.  I don't think we're in endless rebuild territory but give a good coach the first 2 years to see ACTUAL progress and then years 3-4 to build upon or continue that progress.  This football stuff is much easier than we've been making it for the past 4 years.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
