At the base of capitalism is making good on a contractual promise. Breaking a contract is definitely not capitalism.

Franchise tag him next year

Since Fitter ends in an r, I believe the correct spelling would be Fitterian but, I digress…

You must be fun at parties...

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner.

Colts front office says, ‘hi’

Since when is Jerry Jones allowed to vote in an agents survey?

Isn’t that what got Watson in trouble in Houston? Speaking of Watson, how does that five year, fully guaranteed $230 million mega contract look about now?

Not a comment specific to Hopkins but, this new regime seems bound and determined to 1) reshape the roster to their specific schemes, 2) avoid overpaying for players on second and third contracts unless they are good character or locker room fits that will function as extensions of the coaching staff to mentor younger players, and still productive (bye Cam, hello Thielen), 3) make the roster younger and actually develop those younger players, with all the cap management benefits that come with it. All front offices talk about the above but, damn, this group actually seems committed to doing it… and appear to enjoy doing it. Hopkins may have failed to meet one or more of the above criteria, or he simply didn’t want to play with a rookie QB. YMMV.

On one protection during the Detroit game, BC passes his man off to Bozeman and steps back to pick-up the DE that beat Icky wide. Whether that was planned or just situational awareness, damn, that was impressive.

Schrodinger’s Edge…

I see the input of Thielen in this trade. You’ve got to assume that Reich and Fitt spoke to Thielen to get his personal assessment before making the trade.

Hard(l)y

At least he's consistent...

High school English composition. FIFO.

I was thinking more along the lines that Little whiffed about as much as the bull whiffs against the matador but I’ll go with rodeo…

This. Camp should be where they coach this out of him. Maybe he is a slow learner?

You mean, like teats on a bull?

Are we negotiating? Say it with me, you pancake eating… The Huddle will accept your contract demands for a package deal but it will cost you: one pic of Lady Cowboy fan wearing something with Panthers colors or logo. A beer in a foam cousy won’t do it. Extra bonus points if one or more of the birds are in the back ground. And this offer is only good for another 5 minutes, we’re on the clock.
