From ESPN Insider:

Carr could start for ...

Given the offensive line he played behind for the Houston Texans, it's hard not to feel for David Carr, the former No. 1 overall pick. Carr's career never really took off, and he's bounced around a bit since then, most recently as Eli Manning's backup with the Giants.

Carr is set to become a free agent again, and NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas thinks he could be in the mix for a particular team that lacks a true answer in the starting spot at QB:

"The Panthers are making it sound like they're content to let [Jake] Delhomme and [Matt] Moore compete for the starting job. I'm not buying that. I think they'll add a free agent with some NFL playing experience. There's way too much at stake for Fox and Hurney in 2010. I think they have to at least get one more quarterback to compete with Moore and Delhomme, and I'm not even 100 percent convinced Delhomme will be on the roster when all is said and done. Speaking of Fox, Hurney and history with quarterbacks, last time I checked, David Carr was scheduled to be a free agent."

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
