If our team were to come together and be solid enough to be in a playoff race, dalton could keep us in most games if forced to start.  I think he is competent as a backup, known the offense, and at this reasonable cost, i think this is a smart signing.

Dumb move. He isn't really playable anymore, he fell apart after 1 game this season. If it's for more than vet minimum it's a waste of cap and roster space. Just pay him to coach and free up a roster spot.

The start to another disappointing offseason is underway in Pantherland again.

There goes any wind in the sails of my offseason hope that might have been building.

We had at one point last season the worst or at least one of the three worst QB rooms in the league and that is not hyperbole regardless of what anyone might attempt to argue.

We should have gone toward a younger vet if anything. We do not owe Andy Dalton any loyalty. The Saints couldn't wait for him to leave and they are garbage. Meanwhile our Panthers are like "Hey we can't let Andy leave town we need a mentor for our third year first overall pick". Just comically depressing levels of ineptitude.

Second move of offseason is to make Bryce as comfortable as possible?

Isn't that exactly what we did last year and then we opened with two of the worst losses in franchise history?

I'd prefer a backup with more.............potential 

Backups aren't supposed to have potential; they're supposed to be known quantities. You want to know what you've got if your QB1 goes down, not bank on a guy reaching his potential when called on.

      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.
