Lightspeed insane deal, pending a lot of it being not guaranteed.

Edit: $26 mil guaranteed is not terrible.

Did someone take a pay cut or get restructured?  Somehow we went from $13M before Moore and Scott signing to both of them now are on the books and somehow we are at $17M.  Huh?  BTW, they got paid the same money, just under $1.2M each.

Apparently Hunter Renfro visited the Panthers on Wed.  Might be old news but he is pretty good

I always liked hunter. Seems like he could get open in the middle of the field but not a vertical threat that we probably need.

I know he didn't play last year after some bad injuries the previous year.  He is only 29 but there is risk that he may not recover back to where he was.  I'd be happy with him if the risk is very low from the cap perspective.

would be an interesting cheap depth signing but he didn't play last year and although there were some claims he was "retired" I think it was due to lack of legit interest from around the league

Smoke screen. Carolina does not sign Clemson Tigers bro. Isn't Hunter from SC? Maybe he was just stopping by on his way home.

We don't DRAFT Clemson guys, we occasionally will sign a free agent from there.  Just last season DeShawn Williams was on the team.  Ray-Ray McCloud had a cup of coffee with the Panthers a few years ago.

Patriots linebacker and captain Ja'Whaun Bentley says goodbye

New England Patriots linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley is saying goodbye. Bentley, a three-time captain on the Patriots, is expected to be released later today after spending seven years in New England, per ESPN.

"Thank you for everything," Bentley wrote. "It's been a blessing."

New Patriots WR Stefon Diggs, who’s coming off a torn ACL suffered in Week 8 vs. the Colts, is on track to return for Week 1 of the upcoming season. It was another reason the Patriots felt comfortable giving Diggs the three-year, $69 million deal that GM Eliot Wolf and Diggs’ agent Adisa Bakari of

negotiated.

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes indicated that the team was going to pick up the fifth-year option for star wideout Jameson Williams. As for the longer term, well, that's where things aren't as concrete, particularly with a pricey WR market.

"Look, his fifth-year option, it's looking likely that we'll go ahead and just pick that up," Holmes told the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett. "But in terms of extension, again, there's a lot of extensions that are hopefully coming, but it's just one that you just don't know what's going to happen from a financial standpoint cause a wide receiver, it's expensive. It's very expensive.

"So, look, these are good problems."

Asked about being connected to DK Metcalf and whether the Panthers' offense needs that level of WR at some point, Dave Canales said: "I think we've got that guy. Xavier Legette."

One indication the Falcons could still trade Cousins rather than keep him is they didn't restructure his contract, which would push the money he is owed into future years.

The Falcons currently have the fifth-lowest amount of cap space available in the NFL ($10.6 million). Cousins has a $40 million cap hit in 2025, but the Falcons could save $27.5 million against the cap if they trade him after June 1.

A pre-June 1 trade would save the Falcons $2.5 million. Penix, the No. 8 pick in the 2024 draft, is entering offseason activities as the top quarterback on Atlanta's depth chart.
