So this is why the players are suing to get more money.

This, my friends, is why this lockout won't last. Things like this aren't rare; I'd be willing to bet a large majority of players are already struggling with bills. Sure, the "face" of the players side consists of the "stars" like Brady, Manning, etc. The guys who make millions per year and (probably) aren't going to be struggling for money, but over the next few months, several of these stories will be coming out on players who are deep in debt and desperately need a paycheck.

I'm being neutral here, not taking either side, but the owners have been preparing for this for years. They can afford to hold out, while the vast majority of the players can't.

well according to Jason Babin of the titans in the Esquire article (that also featured RJ Sanford) ........they'll take care of their own.

Guess we'll see.

I don't have sympathy for these guys who get more with a minimum nfl check then the majority of America will ever get. If you can't figure out how to invest and save all that money then boo hoo. They get at MINIMUM $200,000, while people like my girlfriend are that much in DEBT just to get a college education.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
