Take it from someone in a happy marriage. Make her happy and focus a little less on yourself and how the world mistreats you. 

Uh I didn’t ask for any marriage advice Dr Phil

If A-Ron Rodgers was mad when the Packers drafter a QB over a WR in the 1st round he must be absolutely livid now.

Funchess opting out from catching passes like he has done for years.

Not as livid as he would've been watching Funchess half assing routes and watching balls bounce off of his brick hands.

Don’t complain and then pretend like you don’t need solutions. This is a Carolina sports talk forum. Not a cesspool of your twisted, biased thoughts.

Big wave of opt outs have come in today. Haven’t seen any Panthers so far but with the deadline being this Saturday I bet we see at least 1 soon. Chiefs starting guard opted out, our old buddy Star opted out, Patriots are dropping like flies —like 5 starters for them have opted out already. Post any other news you got, or thoughts.
 

If I had to guess which Panthers could opt out I’d say Boston is a possibility as he made some comments about not playing due to health concerns or social justice stuff, etc. Maybe Samuel with his heart condition. Otherwise, any older veteran is a possibility but none really stand out.

Who on the team has babies at the moment?

If I remember correctly what I read last week, a $350,000 stipend for medical opt-outs and a $150,000 advance on next year's salary for non-medical opt-outs.

And a contract roll over, which just might be a sweet deal for players in camp battles or nearing the end of their career.

Most where guys that where never going to make the roster, but now there are some real starters like Star/Hightower. Poor Cam lost like 40% of his OL too. 

I understand opting out if you have a family members in the bad at-risk categories. Still you could just choose not live around them, the window to make NFL money is awful short.

I like the young talent we have, particularly at WR and on the defensive line. Brady is also a great mind to have, and Rhule has promise. But we all know we're one opt-out away from not winning a single game...

Maybe a good excuse to get away from Bill B.  for a while.
