More from Joe (same article as before)...

There’s been some buzz that the Panthers could add a senior vice president of football operations to serve as a go-between for Tepper and the coach/GM. Dawn Aponte, the NFL’s chief administrator of football operations, would be a strong candidate for such a role.

Now this is a name I know, not for personnel reasons though. More for personality and authority.

If the idea is to get somebody that can tell David Tepper when he's full of sh-t, Aponte isn't a bad idea at all.

she does have a strong (minded) reputation. and she's a lawyer and an accountant. plus a couple decades experience with the NFL working contracts and stuff. she knows what she's doing and she'd be tough. 

seems too good of an option. makes too much sense.

She's previously worked under Stephen Ross, so she speaks bullsh-t 😕

Lemme throw another potential name in here:

Browns Assistant GM Catherine Raiche

How good is she? Don't honestly know, but she's risen up the ranks and is generally considered likely to be the leagues first female GM.

Gotta believe Tepper would love to be able to say he's the guy that hired her.

If she played a role in the pursuit of Desean Watson and his contract, I don't want her.

It had to be done.  Although I do wonder how handicapped he was working with Ruhle.  And if he had final say over Fitt.  

That's Richardson's point.

Rhule had full control, but even after Rhule was gone he still had to work with Tepper.

Beyond that though, Fitterer was willing to collaborate (read: submit) to the wishes of even assistant coaches like Ben McAdoo.

Working for a head coach is basically the job, but if you start listening to everybody, you wind up with no vision of your own.

Floyd Reese always said he hated having coaches take part in the scouting process. The ultimate finale here is a pretty good testimony that he was probably right.

When everybody is in charge, nobody's in charge.

      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.
