Captain Morgan

Alaina Getzenberg @agetzenberg · 1m Christian McCaffrey: "I'm back to 100%. Feel healthy. Ready to roll."

Joe Person @josephperson · 24m Matt Rhule says he hopes Panthers can finalize the joint practices with the Colts because the more live reps for Sam Darnold and the other quarterbacks without getting hit, the better.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 21m Sam Darnold talking with the media right now, says the adjustment to Charlotte has been great. Says the people and the food are great. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 7m Sam Darnold said he's still getting furniture for his place in Charlotte. His bed is still on the floor. No bed frame, and he has half a couch.

Alaina Getzenberg @agetzenberg · 4m Brian Burns and Jeremy Chinn were among the players in red jerseys today. Matt Rhule said that Burns had a shoulder cleanup and that Chinn had a cleanup (didn’t specify). Rhule said he’s anticipating everyone being healthy for camp.

if Dallas volunteers, they'll get it over the Giants. Large market teams...

Joe Person @josephperson · 3m Replying to @josephperson Yetur Gross-Matos also in red, but is practicing. Alaina Getzenberg @agetzenberg · 9m DTs Bravvion Roy and Daviyon Nixon are both not at practice.

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania · 3m The Charlotte Hornets are planning to pick up the team option on head coach James Borrego’s contract for the 2021-22 season, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Joe Person @josephperson · 15m Notable players not practicing today - Brian Burns, Jeremy Chinn, Troy Pride Jr, Trent Scott, Chuba Hubbard, Terrace Marshall Jr, Greg Little. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 7m Quite a few players in red jerseys here at OTA’s. Brian Burns, Troy Pride, Yetur Gross Matos. But they are all participating in some form.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 7m Notable absences at voluntary OTA’s include Robby Anderson.

Alaina Getzenberg @agetzenberg · 27m Greg Little and Trent Scott are wearing red “injures” jerseys. Both are participating in OL drills early.

I can't imagine how Greg is feeling right now.

they showed our game last year against the Chiefs yesterday...amazing how close that game was

I had forgotten QBs are allowed to throw further than 10 yards down the field. Excited to have that back in our offense.

a reminder that this week is OTAs this week. We may get a little bit of info to devour.

I'm what they call a failed foster. When it came time for her to meet a potential owner, I said no. She's been with me for 7 years now.

James PlowrightFlag of United KingdomBasketball @British_Buzz · 23m Kupchak on Hayward "He hasn't had an offseason in a few years where he can work on his game for two months" Kupchak on Melo "He needs to get stronger, his skill level is pretty good, I don't worry about his shooting, that's something we felt very comfortable with before the draft" Kupchak on Melo "He is a gym rat, he loves the game and loves to work, nothing makes him happier than being in the gym" Kupchak "If we spend our money, we need to be careful to keep our eye on the next two, three years and not focus on next year" Kupchak "We are not trying to put off winning, everyone on this call knows we have an owner who is very competitive" Kupchak "I a year ago I would have said we need to just add talent and not worry about position... I do think we are good at the wing, Knock on wood (Hayward) and we're good at the guard position too with LaMelo." Kupchak "We are not in a position in terms of talent to just look at position in terms of draft and free agency" Kupchak "I don't know why players wouldn't want to come here to play with him (Melo)" Also mentions how he feels differently in terms of attracting free agents to Charlotte than he did a year ago Kupchak when asked about if he's comfortable with Borrego going onto the last year of his contract "I think he's done a great job" Sounds like it will be unlikely Melo plays in summer league, but the decision hasn't been made yet. Kupchak suggests it's more for players who didn't have the opportunity to play this year James PlowrightFlag of United KingdomBasketball @British_Buzz ·

some player quotes Cody Martin said the perception that he and his twin brother Caleb have interchangeable skill sets is flat wrong. People who say that "don't watch the game." Will Palaszczuk @WilliePStyle · 3h LaMelo Ball's shooting struggles explained: He told me he still can't get full range of motion with his previously-injured wrist so he couldn't follow through. Says once that returns, it should look more like the form pre-injury.

James PlowrightFlag of United KingdomBasketball @British_Buzz · 4m Kupchak "We want to make the playoffs and advance in the playoffs, not just lose in the first round, we want to make something sustainable where we can advance each year." "We still need to add talent, our margin of error is still not good enough" (If there were injuries etc) "We expect to provide us with about $29 million plus, that doesn't take into account CAP holds for free agents and our 1st round pick" "Out of the block this team over achieved and delivered more than we expected" "Our margin of error this year was not that large that we could sustain multiple injuries and compete at the same level" "We have to look to sure up our frontcourt with a center or several centers... You would love to get some rim protection, better rebounding" Kupchak on the team's biggest need "We need to sort through our existing free agents (Referring to Malik/Graham/Zeller/Biz/Wanamaker)... It's way too early, we have not started the process" "I thought Miles really made tremendous growth, I thought the Martin brothers gave what we thought we expected, I thought Jalen (McDaniels) made a step up, I don't think anyone took a step backwards" Kupchak summarises that the team had assistant coaches and video coordinators on court to help the young players get playing time in 5 on 5 action before games due to the lack of G League throughout the year to help aid development "Thanks god for the Bubble, the G League in Atlanta, it really helped our young players" "Our coach, players and medical (staff) did a great job navigating their way through the season (Due to challenge of Covid restrictions) James PlowrightFlag of United KingdomBasketball @British_Buzz · 6m Kupchak on the Play In Game and how it affects his opinion going forward "Lack of experience had a lot to do with how that game went"

Robinson has a cap hit of almost 18 million. Falcons couldn't take on half of that.

Possibly because the guy throwing him the ball last year was not a top 32 QB.

Julio will be traded after June 1. It's the only option they have to sign their draft picks, and that June 1 designation will mean his new team will only have to pay him 7.75 million for the next 3 years. But since the Saints and Bucs can't afford him, Julio will no longer be in our division.
