Funny How...

The giants have Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz yet they see the need to draft a receiver in the 2nd round......yet we have only Steve Smith and haven't had a legit #2 rec. For Yeats.....I just don't understand why we don't attempt to get another big time or potentially great rec?

Bad first post. Brandon LaFell has shown that he can be a #2 and we have a very promising reciever in David Gettis coming off injury.

The same thing can be said about any number of teams about any number of positions. "Why did the Giants take JPP when they already had Osi, Kiwanuka and Tuck, blahblah team only has 1 legit DE", "Why did the Panthers take Luke Kuechly when they already had Anderson, Beason and Davis, blahblah team only has 1 legit LB". etc etc. In this case I can understand it, they need Eli to have a very good WR corps so people don't see him for the overhyped product the of the players around him that he is.

You are off to a terrible start.

You act like it is obvious these guys are going to be great WR's in the NFL..... This is still up in the air, so just calm down before making such statements. Many people still think we need WR help. Whenever I see you post, its somewhat hostile posting of how someone disagrees with you.

    • That is just Panthers history pain speaking.
    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
