Mr. Scot

Multiple sources now reporting that the Chiefs are signing Joe Thuney.

Dude built an online persona around two people associated with the Panthers. Neither of them is actually here anymore, but he continues within the same persona. Hilarious They seriously need to get a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or a life, or...something.

They still have until Wednesday at 4pm, but this isn't a good sign.

It used to be a lot higher but then you signed up. Marty is gone, and since Jerry is also done, Marty's never coming back (thank God). If you're gonna troll, find something original. Rehashing pro Hurney takes is boring.

Only guy that hasn't received a tender offer yet. We speculated earlier that maybe they were trying to sign him to something longer, but this sort of flies in the face of that. He's been good depth. I was hoping we'd keep him.

I don't think they're backups. For one, you have to consider that with what happened to the cap and everything, this year is unusual. But perhaps more important, from the looks of it they seem to be making more money than the guys we paid to be starters last year.

I don't think these guys are backups. It looks like they're making more money than our starters did last year.

I think at this point, it's fairly safe to say that missing the playoffs last year pissed Belichick off. It is, however, also fair to point out that Bill Belichick the GM doesn't have as good a track record as Bill Belichick the coach.

Rapaport says the Patriots deal with Matt Judon is done.

Sh-t

I'd have to say I honestly don't give a sh-t what WalterFootball grades us on much of anything.

That depends on the system. WCO based systems like ours frequently have smaller, more athletic linemen. I'd also point out that though he's an inch taller, Joe Thuney is actually listed as eight pounds lighter than Elflein.

I remember Elflein being pretty good in the past. Don't know as much about Erving. As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not "freaked out" by either signing, but I am a little concerned about us pursuing recently injured players again.

I don't know that these are terrible signings, and I feel like it's going to be a while before we can say anything definitive on it. My concern is that we're still pursuing players who have dealt with recent injuries.

He was, but he's also played guard.

The Patriots seem to be going whole hog. Being reported now that they're pursuing Matthew Judon.

I've seen a couple of people say that, but I don't know that it's true. Remember, this year is a little different as far as salary cap and such.

Sounds like Rasul Douglas won't be back...

I don't hate the signings either as far as quality. I was, however, hoping to get away from depending on "good when healthy" or "coming off of injury" players.

Current head of pro personnel is still Matt Allen (i.e. Jerry Richardson's grandson). Luke Kuechly did join the pro personnel department this year.

It's not just the guaranteed money that counts against the cap. It's also not so much about the total cap as it is the available cap.

I've heard a couple of people suggest that, and I just can't get on board. It would be a very Panther thing to choose a draft where the offensive line class is expected to be good and deep to be the one where we trade away all our picks.

Is it? In a normal year it might be, but this isn't a normal year. We don't know that yet.

Hope for the best, but...
