what if it was all a ploy cuz he noticed he would make 17 million this year if he did everything he did up until now... i mean...

if he didnt sign a new contract and said that he wouldnt sign any other to any other teams (mysterious AFC team = no team) and didn't sign his tender until AFTER the draft wouldn't he get 17 million regardless? We can't cut a walking 2 first round draft picks.

You mean you think he didn't want to go anywhere period this year, and just wait next year and either stay here and sign a crazy contract or go anywhere else and sign a crazy contract?

I don't know, because there is no way he would know if next year was really going to be uncapped.

At this point I think we win, because we either have him or get draft picks next year.

It wouldn't be so bad to keep him this year and trade him next year, that would give our other DL guys that extra year to be ready for when he leaves.(not to mention have our other guys in place such as the secondary)

If that was the case he wouldnt of burned any bridges in the process.

Exactly.

Example: Jordan Gross.

He didn't like the deal that was offered, but he signed the tender and played out the season. No one hated the guy and he didn't do anything to disrespect the team. Then, guess what? He gets his big deal this season and everyone is happy.

next season wont be uncapped.

you can count on that

I agree with that b/c the if they do go to an uncapped year then teams would be able to franchise two player..longer contracts and a lot of other not-so-players union friendly tools owners can use against the players.

They will negotiate something but it will be a throw down this time.

ummm, so ur saying, we offer him a bigger contract next year than the one we offered him this year when he makes it seem like he is happy, especially if we finish the season winning the super bowl or win a playoff game or two. I mean, look at the guy in chicago that did that did that big hold out and wanted to leave, they have no problems now in chicago and he is still there.

You guys say he would have signed the big contract but you he gets 17 million this year that he wouldnt have got in the original contract. He would have known he got 17 million last year when he looked at his salary, its fox and hurneys fault for allowing him to make that much off of the franchise tag if he chose not to sign his contract.

Besides, wouldn't he have to say he wanted to leave to insure that the panthers used their franchise on him and not even think about using it on Gross? Like i said, everyone wouldnt be bitching and moaning about his cap hit of 17 million if he was just going to get the same and more for years to come... thought so, he would have got less, now he gets 17 million this year and if he plays like he did last year and just says over and over: "I love carolina im so happy to be here now." How does our front office not do the same thing the Bears front office did and offer j.p. a long term deal.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
