You know he doesn’t do that on his own, right? There are several involved in those decisions. 

Yeah the way Rapoport put it sounded like Cam if they know he is healthy will get traded. Only way we keep him if he decides to take some incentive based contract. I'm sorry Cam can't expect to get another contract with him being hurt the last two years.

I'm sure he doesn't do it alone but isn't he technically the head cheese on that front?

Not exactly, contracts have a few front office people involved and drafting is a room deal as well. Typically coach, director of scouting, scouts, gm, assistant gm all have some input on the big board the team goes by. GM just takes the sword if everything goes badly.

If you think Tepper is putting all the cards on the table, you might be surprised. Hurney will not be the one making the decisions after the draft.

im not sure how it makes sense to fire Rivera but keep Hurney.. like wtf is Teppers goal here?

What if Hurney is only staying on to be “the guy who moves Cam”? 

That's funny. I naturally figured the Panthers keeping Hurney around was great news regarding Cam staying in Charlotte.

This. Same with FAs.

Edit: just saw the contracts part. So yes this

But does he have final authority on the contracts being a go?

You have to much faith.

So, what XFL team am I going to care about? 

I mean, Tepper's plan is to keep Hurney around, because players like him?  So he can hand out overpriced contracts to try and regain the locker room? So he can take the fall of trading Cam for 25 cents on the dollar? 

I thought Tepper supposedly had balls...sure sounds like he's wanting to hide behind a scapegoat instead.

Technically speaking yes, but that's not how most teams operate.

This absolutely sucks!  On top of the horrible news of Hurney staying, Boston...the one who is bad-mouthing the organization right now, is getting a new deal?   I'm grabbing a beer.  Nah, I'm grabbing the entire case!

Tepper going to screw around and let Ol Marty screw up the cap for years to come. 

Yeah seems like we might be on the edge of falling into the Hurney Vortex again.  There's like one other borderline starter material cornerback on the roster so we get to overpay for the one we do have.  Hopefully he proves me wrong but it kinda looks like the same situation we wound up in in 2011/12 where we were strapped but had a roster full of holes outside of a few studs at certain positions.

In other news Daryl Worley has supposedly emerged as a decent CB for the Raiders, or so I've heard.

What a disaster
