Found in the story about Ryan Mallett's agent defending him (link)

Adam Schefter of ESPN quotes agent J.R. Carroll as saying that on the night in question, April 8, Mallett had dinner in Charlotte with Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones, and that Mallett headed back to his hotel room when he didn’t feel well.

Anyone wanna stick their tinfoil hats on and ask why Julio Jones was in Charlotte?

(might not be anything meaningful, but it does raise an eyebrow)

Maybe mallett needed someone to throw to when he visited the Panthers?

Maybe Jones spiked malletts gatorade?

no tinfoil hat here, but...

my wife works for one of the larger hotels downtown and said that reps from several teams (Was, Den, etc.) have been in town over the past several weeks. do some teams travel to other parts of the country to view/workout players instead of having the player come to them?

Pro days?

Alabama's pro day was a while back and on their campus, as I recall. I remember because we were paying attention due to Dareus.

Teams do travel to interview prospects, but why travel to Charlotte to interview an Alabama kid?

The question of why Jones would be here is one of those things that make you go "hmmmm" :sosp:

had thought about that too... although from the sounds of it, these have been semi-extended stays. that many schools around here with pro days worth going to?

How far away are UNC/Duke/NCSU from Charlotte, or SC/Clemson for that matter? Depending on if those schools all had their pro days around each other, the teams could've just used Charlotte as a central area.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
