Regardless if they were all related or not.....he has blown his ACL 3 times in the same knee in a short window. That makes it a ticking timebomb.

Also, there is a reason why the Panthers are the ones, not the media, who found the stat that no NFL player has ever comeback from

3 ACL injuries. They may be allowing a comeback attempt bc Davis is a good guy....but they have to understand the reality of it all.

A shame, he could of been great.

I like the confidence, especially about us winning the Super Bowl... And I really hope he comes back from this surgery 100% and doesn't have another issue with it again. I'd love to see him play the rest of his career out healthy and strong and with multiple championships.

I still remember one play he made last year before he got hurt where he came off the weak side and ran down the runner behind the LOS who was running in the opposite direction. It was amazing.

This guy is a player and I love his commitment to our team. Using his own words, we are going to be in the running for a Super Bowl!

However, he is coming back from something that has never been done, so we need to prepare as a team for his replacement.

Ideally, he can be used in situational plays, as a role model for younger players, and he should be given time to gain his strength to compete for the Super Bowl.

These actions seem reasonable to everyone.

TDavis is not going to disappoint. The ligs are stronger now because of the surgery than they ever were before it. I believe in fate and I believe that TD's fate is tied to Cam's and Smitty's and Beason's Otah's and Edwards' and Fua's et al. You gotta believe. :)

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
