Actually whatever the new team signs him for will be deducted from what we owe him. So if he goes to the Bills for 1.5 million, we only owe Jake 10.5 million. Oh first post. Hi everyone.
Wrong. He is a player, not a coach. Guaranteed money is, by definition, guaranteed.

I just watched this on NFL network. He gets the money either way, but we aren't responsible for paying all of it if he's signed by someone else. Take it up with the boys behind the desk on Total Access. They said it.

Steve Lombardi (an ex-GM) on the NFLN said Delhomme gets to keep the 12 million + whatever his new team pays him.

Actually, yesterday when they were going over all the FA happenings, I heard Lombardi say that he doesn't really understand why we let him go since we'll have to pay him so much anyway. He then added that "even though they'll get whatever the new team signs him for credited back to them", it's still too much money to pay someone not to play.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
