Early NFL offseason chatter

Regarding the Slowik news...

Slowik and Canales don't have any common history that I know of offhand, but I haven't done any research on it.

Also not sure that we have any offensive coaching positions open outside of adding a consultant or something of that sort. 

(we do have a couple of defensive staff positions available, but that's not his thing)

Thoughts?

Panthers culture is a moron.   Come here in what capacity?

From what I'm gathering from Texans fans, they hated Slowik and are very glad he's gone. Why? I can't seem to nail down exact reasons other than being unwilling to adjust, and some general grumbling about the offense from a few Texans players. The current staff already got Bryce off the ground and playing a lot better, and so I don't see Slowik being that helpful there. Finally, I don't see Canales relinquishing playcalling duties except maybe someone already within his circle that he trusts, not really some guy from the outside he doesn't really know.

Their fans it appears are blaming him for the Dell injury which is moronic at best

No idea. Nothing I know of is open.

Pretty sure he was just an assistant to an assistant or something lower level. Doubt Slowik wants to go that far down the ladder

It's funny after last season all you read was how bs worked with stroud created an offense that fit him Yada Yada Yada and now the oline completely let's him down.  A ton of injuries and they still won a game and got robbed at kc and he is fired.   Something ain't adding up

I haven't looked closely enough at that situation to form an opinion.

Maybe personnel was the problem, maybe injuries, maybe Stroud regressed, maybe this, maybe that...or maybe Slowik really was just a one year flash in the pan.

Hell, even Mike Shula looked like an offensive genius for one season. Gotta be consistent to prove it, though.

Nate Carroll was our Passing Game Coordinator.

Yeah I don't think so either but it's an opening

This is a worse hire than Prime. Cowboys are doomed until Jerry is gone. They have talent but the coaching hires are so uninspiring. 

It’s strikes me that Jerry wants another Jason Garrett like head coach. Someone that won’t upset the apple cart or make great demands. You’re probably correct that they won’t see real success again until Jerry is gone, perhaps like Washington since Synder sold up.

Someone was saying on Twitter how Slowik moved away form the 21 personnel to the 11 personnel because of the Diggs acquisition and when Nico went down it was bad news bears trying to run 3 receivers and poo really hit the fan when Diggs went out later.

Someone had to take the fall for strouds regression.  Fair or not, time will tell.

Seemed like a pretty classic case of the sophomore slump to me.  I wouldn’t be too worried about it unless Stroud doesn’t bounce back next season.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
