Resigning core FA's...

The concept behind this is that under the new CBA, the players will be cheaper. I completely understand your point that it is important we lock these guys up while we can instead of allowing them the opportunity to jump ship, but from an owner's prospective... "Why sign someone for $5 today when you can sign them for $3 tomorrow."

Because until this entire thing is resolved the owner's books are not complete. They can't accurately budget out an entire year not knowing how many games will be played, what they will be paying rookies, etc. Its more fiscally responsible to wait and not sign contracts now. It may also be to the players advantage not to, as they may be able to get a better deal after the resolution.

or lose them for $4 bucks the next day. either way we will be into bidding wars now when we could have already locked them up.

If a player is interested in leaving or putting themselves in a situation to be bid over they aren't going to re sign early anyway.

If they are as savvy as you say they are then they would have budget estimates for all scenarios. I mean this is why they are billionaires...right?

      D and D is the answer.

      It works very well it’s just frustrating because it can win enough games to keep those three coaches employed even when they don’t innovate or ever make a decision that doesn’t come from a chart. If they weren’t so robotic in their decision making they’d be in the top tier of NFL coaches.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
