Shitty article. They are still beating the drum that no one was added to make up for the loss of Peppers. This article was written just 2 days ago...so, the author must not have watched any of the Panthers Defensive performances in preseason.

Another fluff piece by somone who knows nothing about this team.

Maybe the writer's just not so quick to declare our defense "fixed" based on 3 pre-season performances.....

But, he is quick to call it broken because an inconsistent player left....it works both ways.

And, he did not mention the agressive play and results once. Would have respected tha article more if he had mentioned it, and then said that they would need to take that level of play into the regular season. He didn't. The article sounds like a regurgitation of preseason articles from months ago.

Nothing new.

from game to game peppers was inconsistent.

most of his 10 sacks would come from just a few games where he would get 2 or 3 sacks. the rest of the time....meh.

Agreed.

I watched parts of the Chicago game yesterday on NFLN. I found myself laughin gout loud watching Peppers. He had a couple of good plays. However, there was play after play after play where he made one move and then stopped. He just stood there watching the play. It was like old times.

Contrast that with the way our DLine is agressively after EVERY play. Peppers will not be missed. Glad to see his underperfroming $20 million ass in another uniform.

for someone that hasn't watched the panthers this preseason. the defense deserves a lot more optimism than what that article has shown.

the offense...not so much.

I mean, I agree that the D has looked better than expected and I hope that the performance carries over, but you can't blame any writer for refusing to put stock in the preseason. Chris Johnson had 10 yards on 8 carries - does that mean he's going to average fewer than 1 yard per carry in the regular season? Bottom line is our team is "unproven" until the season starts and it can be proven otherwise.

      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.
