After spending some time on that broncos board some poster who apparently is at least in respectable standing said he met Bowers in a bar, Bowers said he wants to stay close to home, he'd love to stay in carolina. Said he hated the idea of playing for Denver.

Just a rumor, even if it is true Bowers could have been drunk who knows if it has any merit.

Cool story bro gifs are allowed haha

Always good to have a guy who wants to play for your team it makes the transition so much smoother and. But ultimately its not really his choice, although if past history is any indication the Panthers do tend to favor 'hometown heros' more so than any other team I can think of (or maybe I'm just ignorant of other teams doing it). I doubt we take him though because DE isn't our most pressing need right now...

I think we do and I also think it's JRs philosophy. Seems like everybody we get was born here or something like that.

Yea if they weren't born here they went to college in the Carolinas. I like the philosophy and it's only going to help bring for local fans to the team as we grow. Its weird that the kids that were born the year the Panthers played their first game will only be getting their drivers license this year. Pep could have been a NC legend had he stayed with the team.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
