McCaffrey, Moton, and Armah sign their contracts

[Ship]

For me, this just goes to show the enthusiasm of our draft picks. I think we've got guys who want to be here.

i remember some people were concerned about drafting McCaffrey at one point because he's a big Broncos fan and probably didn't like us. I've kept that in mind since we picked him and I'm really glad to see that he appears genuinely thrilled to be here in particular. Partly it's because we have his favorite coach, but I think he's a fan of his teammates, and as he said, this organization in general is a good one, despite what ex-players who felt hurt being released said. I keep remembering the rumor that a top 10 pick didn't want to go to the jags because of how much they suck. No player will admit to that, but you know these top guys are thinking about that in the lead up. They aren't worried about being picked, they know they'll be drafted. Unless they're just money hungry and want to be a top pick, I'm sure they fantasize more about being on a quality team with players they look up to. This draft, Carolina was definitely one of those teams that guys wanted to go to.

we've come a long way since the rumors of Andrew luck not wanting to come here because he was told we're a bad, poorly run organization. We have the coaches, gm, Mr Richardson, and our locker room leaders to thank for creating such a special atmosphere here.

proud of the team and looking forward to the boost our guys' enthusiasm for being together brings.

Nope, the issue wasn't paying a bonus nor was it the amount of the bonus.
The issue was how and when the bonus would be paid.

The chargers didn't want to give him the bonus up front, so in turn he wanted the bonus guaranteed if he got cut in year 4.

The chargers didn't want to do either. Either pay the man up front, or guarantee the bonus. Every team has done either way since the new CBA. This was the charger first top 5 pick since the new CBA and didn't want to pay it.

The chargers are known for being cheap

Exactly what I said.

NEITHER SIDE had an issue about the bonus amount.

The disagreement was how the bonus was to be paid.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

I'm worried about how long it'll take to get those second round and lower round guys under...

Oh. Nevermind.

That has to be a record for us in signing everyone so quickly?

only race here is your race to the bottom with the other geriatric poo posters exctited for the "right kind" of player. 

Like O.J. Howard?  Because that's the guy I wanted.

I stated clearly many times before the draft I didn't want to draft a running back.  AFTER a running back was drafted, however, yes... I got excited.

Sorry for "racing to the bottom" for wanting to draft the "right kind" of huge, fast, talented African-American tight end originally.

Of course, the real "race to the bottom" are the guys who don't like McCaffrey *because* of his skin color.  Here's looking at YOU, kid.

Probably one of the many benefits of (1) the rookie salary cap and (2) having a GM that has finally gotten us out of salary cap hell.
