Carr Watch

No, no, I get it now. The Panthers wanted Carr so much, that they lost out to a team with major holes, that's cap strapped, and doesn't have much in the way of draft capital. They also didn't throw a trade offer before free agency as well. Definitely Plan A, definitely.

Carr wanted, and got, more than the Panthers were willing to pay. It always happens in FA. Nothing new.

Okay, so he was 'right' because he didn't say anything and read tea leaves from actual reporters.

I mean he said expect big news soon right?  We were either signing Carr this week or moving on.  I think it's going to be difficult to leak hard facts from our current staff because it's really a brain trust of our HC, GM, and their staffs like it should be.

People who lie about having inside information don't tend to be able to predict things correctly. This one has yet to be wrong about anything.

The first one who came along was wrong about one thing but they admitted that was their own speculation and it was understandable.

Most of us were smart enough not to be asses about it, but you do you...

Saying he was wrong is not being an ass it's stating the situation. If you can't handle that it's on you. Maybe he'll come back and be right from here on who knows. You're taking it personally like you know who they are. Peculiar. And you've been an ass about things here before like anyone else that's always been how the huddle operates.

He said that Carr was plan A in another post. If they walked it a bit back after, I didn't read that post.

Plan A money, but from the Saints.

It is when they weren't.

That's not what they meant.

Correct, and reasonable, which unfortunately seems to not be the norm on here.

Gee, I wonder why Insiders run off

And that's fine. Our plan A money could have been 140m with only 50 guaranteed. It all depends on how you build around plan A. If it was Andy Reid signing him, I'd be worried. But it's Dennis Allen which brings him down in play level, IMO.

The Jets were fence sitting because of Rodgers. They said as much. We were reportedly not interested at all with Rodgers.

I already told him that two weeks ago, and he couldn't seem to understand that.

Alright, so the big insider @Leaky_Faucet predicted we would kick the tires then. The Plan A comment wasn't really what they intended it to mean. The Panthers weren't as interested as other teams, and only 'kicked the tires' as widely reported by pretty much everyone.

Who is @Leaky_Faucet's main account then? Because no one here would care about these half-hearted predictions if they weren't somebody that's in the clique.

I mean, I agree, he's not worth it. Though letting your division rival acquire your Plan A at quarterback, in a wide open division, after years of not being competitive because of deficiency at the position? It doesn't seem like a market contract would be the hold up if the Panthers truly coveted Carr.

Oy

Here's hoping they get that not everyone here acts like this.

We can covet Carr and still not be up to that level of contract. I think the Saints overpaid. That typically happens early. I'd be more concerned how they're going to build around him with where that leaves them with cap space, I know it's imaginary, and draft picks. I suspect if they hit on their picks well, they'll be laughing all the way to the NFCS title for several years. If not, that'll be a different story.

Who cares?  If you think he is full of it why are you wasting so much of your time on him?  If you think it's just an alt trolling just ignore it.  He hasn't really said anything too crazy for it to be a troll IMO, just mainly listing out a timeline and our possible next moves.  Crown (the other leaker) actually threw out some staff names before the hires.  If either of them are legit I'd like to keep them around.
