In this slideshow, I saw a picture of D-Will at the U.S. National Whitewater Center during the team's visit there.

With all of the reporters (and others) making sure to point out that 34 was not at the practices, I thought it was interesting that he was at this event.

If this is covered somewhere else, my apologies.

In image number 6 you can see DWILL with his hat on and his Memphis shorts on.

I have done quite a bit of white-water rafting and the pictures reminded me a lot of my new scouts. Most of the time to make the raft move where you want to in the rapid, you have to continue to paddle through the rapid to go faster than the water is moving. You also have to be close to the edge of the raft in order to reach into the water to paddle.

Why did it remind me of my scouts? Most of the inexperienced and new scouts rarely paddle and lean toward the middle of the raft, more worried about not falling out then they are guiding the raft. If you look in the photos almost none of the Panther players are paddling and most are leaning toward the middle of the raft. Quite normal for guys not used to rafting of course.

I just found it interesting and funny.

Like I have 12 years old with more balls than NFL players afraid of the water. As for Eagle Scouts there are alot more of them than NFL players. Too many folks hold out dreams they are going to be a sports star which is 1 in a 100,000 opportunity at best where in my troop the chances of being an Eagle scout if you hang with it is about 1-4.

I'll bet you don't have any 12 y/o with a contract for a league minimum 300K.

I'd be afraid of getting a bruise too while my contract was suspended.

Lean in boys, lean in..

What you can't really tell from that picture is that Jimmy's side of the raft is right up against the wall.

And like I said, they were going to have fun, not to earn a merit badge.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.

      Yep!  Jake wanted to stay. It’s been reported a lot that he did. Tulsky waited too long to give him that contract.

      He's still unsigned, due to injury I think. He should be able to play this year, but I think teams are just waiting for more clarity before signing him.
