    I disagree.  I do not pay any Carolina Panthers salary?  That's Tepper's money.  We buy Panthers gear, go to games, concerts, watch TV, etc - and it still get's funneled to Dave Tepper.  Since he bought the team, his wealth has increased by $4 BILLION.  

    The salary cap isn't a fantasy draft.  It's not our money, the cap is an easily manipulated myth.  Look at the Saints, the poster child for cap manipulation.  "Oh no, they have all this dead cap money!" But they still are able to keep players, over pay them, and add more.  

    If YOU or I were he GM/Owner who wrote checks, then I'd be much more concerned with the money issue.  I'm not.  I'm just a fan.  It's up to the team to make the best decisions.  They made this one when they didn't trade Burns to the Rams - we all knew he was going to get paid.  Now that Bosa's deal is done, the market has been set, and it's time to sign Burns to his MEGA deal.

    No offense but to say the cap is a myth is lunacy, ask the Rams. Don't get me wrong, I'd take that Super Bowl as well but now they are reaping what they sowed. 

  2. And for all you idiots who say it's not your money why do you care let's break it down for you. If I have $10 to give out in my neighborhood football league and give $9 to the best one, where do you think players ranked 2-10 are going? Somewhere else not to share $1 Sorry I had to say that, so many buffoons here saying why do you care, its not your money. Totally ignorant to how this plays out.

    Oh no the Panthers initial offer was little over 23m aav on a 5 year deal. Think 5 years 115m with 60m guaranteed.  That's what he turned down. 

    I sort of meant if we won't budge over 25. In all fairness the number should be 28. If he is demanding 30 that's too much and the people that will say really gonna let this happen squabbling over 2 million, yep it's already an overpay at 28, like I said there has to be a line but 25 isn't it.

    Let's him and his agent say he's the 2nd highest paid edge player with the third most guaranteed of edge players. 

     

    Could be off on the second part, but I think that's right. 

    And if he is turning that offer down I can see why we are hard balling him. The line does have to be drawn somewhere. Let him protest for his six weeks. (Has to start by week 7 to accrue a season) Play it out, tag him once next year and then see ya. The offer you mentioned is more than adequate. Now if we're hard lining on 25 per then shame on us.

    Not even an App fan but yeah, that was a fun game. Quite possibly the most memorable regular season college football game of this century.

    Was about say what? Flutie! Got me with the, this century. Cheers brother, good luck to your Heels!
