That's how I feel right now. If it was anyone other than the Panthers making this move, I'd think the Steelers got hosed. As it stands, I can't help but wonder what's going to go wrong. 

We been conditioned to expect the worst. It's well deserved skepticism.

My issue with the trade has 0% to do with Johnson the player or what kind of contract he might want

It's that he's made it known he has been unhappy with the Steelers QB play the last few years and I can't see him going from that to Bryce and then wanting to re-sign with us next offseason.

I like this trade, but I also wanted to find a more long term WR solution this year, which we now won't be able to unless we get lucky and hit a home run in the draft.

How can you proclaim he won’t be happy playing with Bryce when he has unofficially been a panther for less than an hour?

I'm not sure I want to draft another qb to develop after already rebuilding the team for around bryce.  grab a retred and go win some games

They are not building the team around Bryce. They are building a team. If Bryce benefits then great. If he's still ass then give someone else a shot.

Stop mocking the Georgia WR to us now we need vertical speed now 

Anyone that doesn't realize that Ladd is fast and quick just hasn't been watching. He's a complete receiver. He isn't blazing fast, but it doesn't take that to be a successful receiver in the NFL. 4.39 is plenty of speed, and his playing speed is reflective of his legit speed.

4.39 isn't blazing fast, man I am getting old.

He was unhappy on a team that had QB's at least good enough to get them to the playoffs in 3 of his 5 years and had a worst record of 8-8 in that timeframe.

If he was unhappy with that, what in the world makes you think he'll be happier by going to a team with the worst QB in the league with a worse arm than any QB he had in Pittsburgh?

Seriously, can the mods just block him from creating threads if he reuses to post tweets correctly?

Most pointless posts ever

Is it that difficult to click on the link? Maybe you should be asking why there’s not a tweet imbedding button to instantly imbed links from X.

You guys need to chill with the Bryce Young sucks narrative. It's exhausting how negative you are. I'm trying to be excited about free agency and you're constantly punching holes in every move. F'ing up my buzz...

They cannot let it go. If it wasn't Bryce it would be someone else. I'm just going sit back and enjoy the ride even though I know it's going to be a rough one.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • 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.
