Yeah, this guy legitimately can win off the line and get to his spot. This is exactly the type of player that can help Bryce to maximize his potential, utilizing his anticipation.

Diontae is quite the opposite of the sloppy route runners we had last season just drifting aimlessly out of their breaks.

The actual separation stats, no cherry picking.

It’s not apples to apples.  Johnson is in a different tier than Theilen. Johnson played on the outside and Theilen was running the slot often gifted stuff last year

He's awful and not our long term solution, the longer you stick your head in the sand about it, the harder it's going to be for you to enjoy Panthers football anyways, as you're just going to get your hopes up to get crushed.

It's also not a narrative, it's what we all saw with our own eyes on the field, the kid doesn't have any NFL level physical traits

Man you are out on Pluto with this take.  Total bullshet.  Talent is absolutely not a problem and you think this is the only move at WR?  Get over yourself

Added bonus Diontae is actually 5'10" 180 so we'll get a real world assessment of BY's size in camp. Settle the size mystery once and for all

If he's "the guy" he's expected to be as a top overall pick he will show up to camp looking like he's been hitting the weights for at least a few months

      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.
