Panthers release Cam Newton

Honestly, after the botch tweet, the Panthers were doomed. Gotta love the start of the Matt Rhule era in Carolina.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1246726]I'd rather sign Cooper and go cheaper at TE like Walker for a year.[/quote]

He will be 36 and has played in 8 games and caught 25 passes the last two seasons combined. He fell off the last couple years just like VD who were both rookies in SF at the same time. You will be getting what would happen if Vernon Davis played another year.

How in the world are they managing to pay all these guys? I don't have the numbers, but I feel like they have offered and/or signed multiple players at the top of their respective markets. That has to come back and bite them eventually, right?

They lost 4-5 starters on D now because of Cooper/DAK/ZEKE.

Byron Jones and Quinn will be hard to replace especially Jones.

Jerry is praying that he has the new "triplets" Not gonna happen.

They also just lost their 2nd best Lineman to retirement. Dallas is on the decline

The salary cap is far more flexible than some people think. The first year cap hit of new deals is often a little more than half the average value of the contract. Amari Cooper for instance , his new deal has an average of $20m but the first year hit this year is only $12m...... According to OTC, without having signed Dak, they have only $40m of cap space next year, the Eagles are $20m over the cap next year.... the Redskins? They have over $100m of space :)

Wow. Well ... we should be able to hang onto our young D-Linemen when their second contracts come up ... if we want to.

I thought he already turned down $35 mil a year a while ago. That was just a rumor I heard on the radio, can't remember who said it.

Re: Offseason: Around the NFL
 

Glad Goodell pushed back against the GMs and said the draft will go on as planned. The process is too long to begin with and we treat these prospects too much like a sacred commodity...they are not. A lot of times after all the workouts and interviews, the coaching staff usually knows by early training camp if this was a mistake or not when someone is selected.

They are still paying top dollar for:

Zeke, Cooper, Martin, Smith, J. Smith, and now possibly Dak. Where are they getting this money from?

I get the same thing!

Re: Offseason: Around the NFL
 

Michael Brockers' deal with the Baltimore Ravens fell through over an issue with his ankle, and the free-agent defensive lineman swiftly rejoined the Los Angeles Rams on a similar deal on Friday.

But after the sides failed to reach a new agreement on Friday, Brockers immediately returned to the Rams. He agreed to a three-year deal worth up to a maximum $31.5 million, the NFL Network reported.

This isn't the first time that the Ravens have had a medical problem with a free agent. In March 2018, Baltimore voided a four-year, $29 million agreement with wide receiver Ryan Grant after he failed a physical due to an ankle injury. Grant later signed with the Indianapolis Colts, and Baltimore brought in Michael Crabtree.

[url]https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28961570/michael-brockers-rejoins-rams-deal-ravens-falls-through[/url]

This is becoming a trend with the Ravens, I imagine its Decosta. They really did Grant dirty when they had an agreement, then Crabtree came free and they claimed Grant had an injury and backed out of the deal to sign Crabtree.

They screwed Grant bc he could have found a different team during the legal tampering period but he thought he had a deal.

Then to claim Grant was injured as the plausible deniability lie to back out tarnishes his prospects. A team can "fail" any player they want during a physical claiming ankle this or mild degenerative arthritis that. All players have some injury a team can point to if they want to be dicks.

Orioles do this and FA are legit worried about even agreeing to deals bc then the Os find some health reasons and try to renegotiate down the agreed upon deal.

if the player is "injured" and the Ravens are so worried abut it .. why the fuck are the Ravens trying to renegotiate and still sign that player?

dirty birds.

MSN Sports has their win total projections out. The top two are the Ravens and the Chiefs at 11.5. The Bucs and Patriots are at 9. Guess who is dead last at 5? Of course it is the Redskins.

I just find it amusing how a lot of sports outlets rip on the Redskins over and above everyone else. Most of the time they predict way lower than Vegas win totals for the Redskins.

If you bet against the Skins most of the time you’ll be right, that’s why they do it

If the off season is cut short then yeah I could see that.. New staff and very avg roster. Also Matt is right, most of the time the skins suck so picking them to win isn't really the best choice..

People tore Adam Rank to shreds on Twitter last summer when he said the Skins would go 2-14... how did that turn out?

Until this team truly turns it around I can’t blame anyone for picking against them

Put this in the same category as power rankings, lines 5 months out don't mean shit.

50% off is the same as predicting a team to win 8 games and have them win 12, a major blow it.

No way, they mean plenty even though we haven't even upgraded the roster via the draft yet, or whittled our way down to 53 from 90.

For the first time, "Hard Knocks" is planning to supersize and feature two teams in the same summer: the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers, league sources tell ESPN.

Good sign imo
