Loser teams sign players to futures contracts.

Teams that play 4D chess are signing players to pasts contracts. Put that Hubbard contract against the salary cap in 2002.

Managed futures can be a helpful addition to your portfolio's asset allocation.  They are volatile, though.

THanks for this, OP.  There could be some value here. Dax Milne was a player I thought might develop--Matthews could fill in at TE for a season if we lose Tremble and don't have the capital to address TE this year.....Raym could step up to backup center....Incoom played fairly well down the stretch (He is 25 and in VERY LIMITED play, had a good PFF score--he is where he should be--image.thumb.png.627288a77fd8f6f7565e02caaaf5cccf.png

Yeah, Incoom is a really good special teams guy

Not a single one of these signings hurts us, or even costs us much, but it gives these guys a reason to stay in shape and keep working toward making a team. Sounds like a few guys who need to be part of a reclamation project and maybe we will find a diamond in the rough there. Sounds like some good, lower cost options for back-up O-line there.

I wonder if the player from Ghana would count as a foreign investment player and allow us to keep an extra guy on the roster. That could be really handy, if I am correct about those rules.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
