Whats the status on jamal lee?

Jamall Lee isn't a draft pick. he was picked up as an undrafted player, which means he's under contract.

As far as the draft picks, Sherrod Martin, Corvey Irvin, Duke Robinson and Everette Brown remain unsigned.

Going by the NFL network segment, the finance guy on the show said that we had deals in place with most if not all our draft picks. Were just waiting on a deal with peppers (which is being worked on big time by both sides according to this guy) to be reached for those contracts to go through.

Peppers long term thing? that would be sweet but I dont think it would affect our team much for the rest of the season unless we try to resign DWILL which we really need to figure out what we will do with once his contract is up.

DeAngelo doesn't become a FA for two more years, he doesn't become a FA until the 2011 season so the Panthers have plenty of time left. Besides, they wouldn't want to sign him to a new contract too soon because I'm sure he would want an increase in the amount he will making over the next two seasons and they could barely afford the players they have now.

They can't afford too many players making top dollars, they have to rely on their bargain players still playing on their rookie contracts. DeAngelo will be making big money once his rookie contract ends.

He may, but I don't think he'll want it to the point he'll threaten to hold out or cause a stir over it. He seems to have a really good character, I've been impressed by what I've seen in him so far.

    • 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.
    • Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
