Really? I don't get it.

I don't either, other than we are paying 1mill to a longsnapper.

To me the trust that it will get done right is worth that.

Perhaps not to the FO...

We might just need that spot on game day but thats just a guess. I really dont like it myself. If it aint broke dont fix it.

$1 mill is a lot when you're strapped for cash. If I read the other thread correctly, if Jansen doesn't make the final roster, we don't give up anything to Green Bay. My guess, this is just in case we don't free up some money (through trading Pep and losing the cap hit, restructuring Jake/Smitty/whoever, etc.). If we do free up that money, Jansen doesn't make the roster, we don't lose anything and Kyle is re-signed.

EDIT: I think Kyle is worth that number to the FO, just not when we are already struggling to dig change out of the sofa cushions.

Connor will more then likely swing at the linebacker position this season for you guys. I also think you might drop Charles Johnson back as a OLB possibly with how much teams have been experimenting safties and ends as OLBs.

Just another example of how Peppers is holding us hostage.

We've already lost 2 damn good OL because we could not afford to keep them.

The Panthers could have let Peppers walk, he made it clear that he's wanted out for quite some time. Carolina is just trying to force him to stay there or get over compensated for a 29 year old player.

He didn't let Carolina know such (publicly) until this season.

Stop trolling my forum..

I think he made it formally known through his agent on Valentines Day.

What is this guy? A crolls alter ego? lol

We would not have matched the deals Frank and Hangman recieved if we had the money.

true....AND we didn't have starting jobs to offer them that they wanted and got with other teams.

they went not because we let them go but because they wanted a chance to start. that wasn't going to happen here.

the money they got and the opportunity they got we couldn't/shouldn't have matched.

From a business standpoint, I think I see a subplot of what Hurney is doing here. Sending another hint to Peppers that we are standing pat with our stance and we will find other ways to update the roster even with no cap room.
