First off, I am lurking on the boards everyday but rarely post anything. After searching the forums on this topic I thought this would be a good time to start a new post.

I heard this rumor from a guy a work in regards to Cowher coming to coach the Panthers next year (we hear this rumor every day), but also bringing Phillip Rivers with him. He claimed Rivers contract is running out in San Diego and Cowher is going to bring him back to his home state of NC.

I am sure this is 99.9% untrue but something to think about.

Rivers signed a contract in August 2009:

8/24/2009: Signed a seven-year, $98.25 million contract. The deal contains $38.15 million guaranteed, including a $19.55 million signing bonus and Rivers' 2009-2010 base salaries. $6 million of Rivers' 2011 salary is guaranteed for injury, but not skill or performance.

2010: $6.6 million (+ $6 million option bonus)

2011: $8.4 million

2012: $10.2 million

2013: $12 million

2014: $13.8 million

2015: $15.75 million

2016: Free Agent

Looking at this contract, I can honestly say (new CBA notwithstanding) that Philip Rivers isn't going anywhere until after the 2012 season, at least. Down the road this deal will get restructured to spread out the money currently due from 2013 - 2015 to keep him in San Diego.

A) Rivers is from Alabama

B) To get him we would have to give San Diego something close to this : 1st round pick, 3rd round pick, 4th round pick, Jimmy Clausen, DeAngelo Williams, Jordan Gross, Steve Smith, Jon Beason

Pretty simply, aint gonna happen

I'd do that minus Beason

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
