@Adam_Schefter:

Just like Panthers are allowing DE Julius Peppers to leave in free agency, Texans are doing the same with CB Dunta Robinson. No tag.

I wouldn't mind letting him battle with Marshall, and Munnerlyn for the #2 CB spot. competition is always good. the only question is, how much was his tag last year and how much does he cost? anyone know?

I think he'll be out of the Panthers price range. Technically they would have the money to go after him. But at the price he'll demand it wouldn't be worth it. I think our corners are fine. The money would be best used elsewhere.

He was turning into a shutdown corner prior to his injuries.

He didnt' have a good year last year did he? I remember he got lit up in at least a few games.

Yeah, I don't get this Robinson > Gamble mess...

Dunta Robinson played like garbage this past season. Someone is going to overpay him, but he is basically another DeAngelo Hall...overrated #2 corner.

Given we play more of a Tampa 2 much of the time, I don't think we need to pay for shutdown corners typical of teams who play man a lot. Seems our safeties are very important. I would rather see us get another strong safety with good ball skills over another corner.

I completely agree, except I think we need a new FS. I'd like to try and snag Ryan Clark from The Steelers. He'd be an upgrade over anyone we currently have at FS. That said, it won't happen. The Panthers won't spend the money to get him.

      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.
