Rod Coleman & D-Will Rumors


RepinCarolina

Recommended Posts

First time poster but been a longtime follower of the huddle. Gotta give the huddle team props I really enjoy the site. With that being said, I'd like to also respectfully request that ya'll be easy on the new guy I'm not claiming to be preaching the gospel so here it goes. My brother-in-law was working at a restaurant in Concord Mills today and said Rod Coleman came in and ate. He waited on him and said the whole time he was on the phone talking business(negotians to be precise). When he called me I knew he played for ATL but didnt know much else so I googled him and what I could find said he was a free agent. Not comdeming or condoning the possability but he is a vet with good experience that could be had cheap considering he's on the downside of his carrer. To be honest he might have been talking to another team or just talking about something totally different. He!!, he might live here, I haven't a clue??? Also a good friend of mine and a fellow business owner also mentioned to me a trade rumor about Deangelo. I read the same rumor here last week on the MB. Cant remember who the poster was but he had said something about D-Will to San Diego for a first and Sproles. Well my buddy owns a restraurant of which a few players as well as their family members eat at on a regular basis. Needless to say a family member told him this was being discussed and that it was being seriously considered. He said they didn't seem like they were too excited about it, kind of mixed feelings on the situation. So too the posters credit he was giving everyone on the MB some credible info. I would hate the move personally. Vincent Jackson and 1st & 3rd I'd be all in. Nevertheless we havent had much news here and figured something was better than nothing. Sorry if I stirred the pot.

It's sad how many people are afraid to make threads or post in this MB because they will get berated til no end. So they post with a disclaimer, "Be easy on the new guy", or "Don't shoot the messenger".

yes lets have more threads about Delhomme and Peppers instead.

It's not really that bad.

There are examples - more than you might think - of guys whose first ever post or thread on here is logical, sensible and well-written (or at least readable). Those guys are generally accepted and become part of the forum.

On the other hand, you also have idiots who come on here just to write something utterly stupid and/or totally unfounded either to troll or to say "hey, everybody look at me; I know stuff". That, plus you get guys who like making multiple IDs either because they've been neg-repped to smack, or they're bored and don't have enough brain power to come up with any other way to amuse themselves, or because they just have a neurotic need for attention and they're not getting enough with their normal persona.

Those guys get clobbered, and honestly, I can't say I have a lot of sympathy for them.

Have you guys heard the rumors of us in negotiations with Shaquille O'Neal? apparently he's tired of being second fiddle in Cleveland and wants to switch sports and play WR for us. I heard this from a friend of a cousin's uncle's next door neighbor's long lost nephew who was kidnapped by aliens and shown the future, who now works at TGI Friday's Shaq likes to eat at in Cleveland. Also, he said look for Vermont to win the next 2 NCAA title's back to back and to take stock in PetRock as they will make a comeback in 2011.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
