Does Bryce have any further excuses for this upcoming year?

Was he? The guards we trotted out there were practice squad level. AT was the only WR trying. Chuba was the only RB with consistency. And... our offensive coach was playing an outdated offense. Hurst showed up for two games. Not saying Young is the answer but I'm giving him a mulligan. 


You really don’t remember the narrative before last season?

The dream team staff?

Thielen and Chark hype?

Our shiny new RB?

Id say our line is better this year but it’s not a rock solid line and we still only have one proven WR who isn’t old and slow.

I get it.  We made moves.  There was hope. Hope that Mingo would show up. Hope that Sanders would produce like he did in Philly. Hope that Young would hit the ground running. Hope that the coaching staff could put it all together. Off-season is all about Hope. Here we go again. That said I like the moves by the newish FO. I can second guess it obviously. I would rather play it safe.  No trades BPA but the gambles may pay off BIG. The Panthers seem to like splash trades and picks. Young, Mingo, XL and Brooks could eventually pay off. We will see.

Honestly, he didn't give any last year. It's everyone else making excuses for him. Now to be fair, there were valid reasons why he is being given a legitimate shot after so much bullsh¡t last season. 

All I can say is that he better look credible by November or Tepper 2023 may rear his bald head.

For the incredibly painful initial investment made in him, then add the major investments to help him which is practically every position on offense basically because he doesn’t appear to make anyone better... hell yes he needs to produce.

Icky still stinks until further notice 

Icky doesn't stink, he just hasn't played up to his draft status in pass pro.

You really think our o-line is ready? 

I think that it's floor should be average. If Bryce can't work with that, then he's not going to work.

      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.
