Tender offers?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Based on Gantt's recent comments, it'd be no surprise to see the RFA and EFA tenders today.

(they'd have to be today or tomorrow anyway)

Restricted Free Agents

TE Jeff King: Established starter, not much of a receiving threat but occasionally contributes a catch; good blocker; beat writers have predicted a second round tender; originally a fifth round pick

DT Gary Gibson: Last year's undrafted surprise and preseason star; went to IR last season with an injured hand; might not draw much interest outside of the Panthers so could get the low tender

WR Jason Carter: Another preseason wonder who sat out due to injury; likely gets another chance to prove that he belongs

LB James Anderson: Arguably the biggest enigma as far as what to do; drafted in the third round in 2006 with high hopes but has yet to see much action outside of special teams; not likely anyone gives up a third rounder to get him

S Nate Salley: Originally selected one round after Anderson; typical Fox style DB (hard hitter, questionable in coverage); many thought he was gone last year but Fox likes his special teams ability

Exclusive Rights Free Agents

CB C J Wilson: Yasinskas thinks he'll be elevated to the nickel spot this year backfilling for Richard Marshall, who he expects to start in place of a released or traded Ken Lucas; will his offer reflect that or will it reflect that he's a seventh round pick in his third year?

DT Nick Hayden: Didn't look so good in late season relief work, but in fairness neither did Ryan Kalil the year before; sixth round pick who spent most of last year on PS; probably a low offer

DT J'Vonne Parker: late season pick up who played in more games his first two seasons than his last two; mostly a practice squad journeyman of late; likely a low offer

How do EFA's work anyway? I know its when a players contract expires when he has less then three acurred season but if they are tendered are they like RFA's where you get compensation if another team offers them a deal?

No other team can offer them a deal. Essentially, if you want them, they're yours. If you don't tender them, they're free to walk.

Since they don't have the tenure to be UFAs is it like waivers where teams have the priorities to sign them based on their finish the previous year? I can't remember.

Nope. They're free to negotiate with anyone, but the Panthers have rights to match or receive compensation (based on the level of the offer).

Am I the only one that is not that impressed by C.J. Wilson and worries about putting him in the nickel? He made a few nice special teams plays this year, but he did not impress me a whole lot during preseason, as I recall.

Perhaps my memory fails, though.

I remember seeing some good plays from him last season.

You sure about that? Thought it was what we tender them at ie second round tender second round pick.

He was asking what we'd get if we didn't give him one of the higher offers (first or second round tender).

Conventional wisdom has been he'll get the second round tender.

Oh ok, was thinking you was saying we would get a fifth if we tendered him. :lol:

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
