I'm gonna be honest, these contracts are causing my interest in the sport to diminish. The contracts keep increasing exponentially and so do the ticket prices, merchandise, concessions, etc. while the typical fan is falling behind vs. inflation. I'm a football junkie but at some point I'm going to force myself to to lose interest in the billionaire play things. I'm getting pretty fuging close. Hell, I'll just watch local HS football to get my fix because college football is going down the same path.

I mean I get it but it's professional sports and inflation isn't the NFL's fault.

Also safety. One have 1 on the roster 

True, but one corner is a nickle and the other stays hurt.  You really need four strong CBs to have a solid corner corps. Two starting safeties with one decent reserve is standard.  I bet we sign at least one of the 5 safeties back we let walk when they realize there isn't a strong market for them.  Safeties are the 'RBs' of the defense.  Smart on us to let them ALL test the waters and not jump the gun on a new deal.  Again, we will end up re-signing one or two of these guys later in FA.

He’s never been able to crack the starting lineup there over guys picked way later and with less physical gifts. Maybe he’s great and doesn’t fit the system but McDermott and co churn out pro bowl corners and he never measured up to his draft position

Reading about the rumor--Bills fans hate this guy

No thanks.  Bills fans are a pretty savvy football bunch.  I'd trust their input.  If they say this guy blows, then he most likely does.

DK got his 30 m per from Pitts but does anyone know the trade details?

All I heard was the trade was for a 2025 second and swapping late round picks. 5 years, $150m

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
