Davis deal done?

As of Noon ET Tuesday, Jordan Senn's agent, Arthur B. Weiss, said the Panthers had yet to offer the LB a deal. “They're not offering (deals to) anybody,” Weiss said. “They need to restructure Thomas Davis' deal (five years, $36.5 million). That's screwing them up and I don't think he'll play a down this season.”

yeah, in claiming to know what's hamstringing the panthers, senn's agent is really saying the opposite: he doesn't have a clue what's going on in carolina's front office. the davis deal was done last year with full knowledge of his injury. to think that they wouldn't know how to restructure it when that was a feature of the contract all along is pretty short-sighted.

so Senn's agent is complaining about the contract of Senn's teammate and has opinion that said teammate will not play a down.

okay

If that is the case then the contract is not screwing them up Mr. agent-guy. They will cut him if that is the case and take the cap advantages associated with that route. If there is any real possibility of him not playing a down, it will not be hard to work out the contract that is "screwing them up".

SMH

Nobody ever said agents were smart I guess but those remarks prove that in the representation world, greed trumps common sense.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
