With LaFell doubtful, it's reasonable for Murphy to move to #2, but who goes to #3? Is tomorrow the last chance for AE to keep a spot on the 53, or does Kealoha get the nod? Perhaps we just go with 2 TE's all day or throw more to Tolbert and the backs.

What are your expectations?

Panthers WR rotation as of now: Steve Smith and/or Louis Murphy and Kealoha Pilares with Armanti Edwards the No. 4 WR.

Thanks, I missed that tweet. It will be interesting to see how much we use a 3rd guy. I have a lot of faith in Pilares if he's given a chance, but Chud may go the safe route and not use him much.

Man we need to get the ball in Pilares' hands more often. He is great in space and I believe is a threat to go the distance with a good block. The kid has a history as a running back and it shows when he catches the ball on the short/intermediate route and accelerates. I really think we haven't been utilizing him the right way...he needs to be in a Percy Harvin type roll and do things out of the backfield as well as the passing game. I feel like every time he had a catch in pre-season he made a few miss always moved the chains.

Murphy needs to step it up. Greg Olsen may have a monster game though.

THIS!

I read this in my fantasy lineup for this week about Olsen...

Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers: Olsen has had some nice games for the Panthers this year, and I like this matchup. The Redskins have allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Olsen has just 10 targets in his last two games, but look for the number to increase this week.

I was thinking they should get the TE's involved more now anyway... but, baby steps I guess.

Here's hope'n.

We'll need the receiver help for sure.

      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.
