I understand that we were all butthurt by delhomme's epic collapse(s) but the fact that he can still come in and show these young guys how to prepare(not play) should be a given even to the most ardent Jake hater. If it wasnt for Jake things would have been a lot worse around here.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel suggests that the "market may be drying up" for free agent DE Cullen Jenkins.

The Cowboys are out of the mix after signing Kenyon Coleman and Marcus Spears, and the same can probably be said for the Redskins after the Stephen Bowen move. There have been loose reports linking Jenkins to New Orleans, but he wouldn't fill a big need there. With Jenkins' price tag almost certainly coming down, perhaps the Packers will reconsider the idea of re-signing him. Jul 30, 1:18 AM

Would be nice if we could swoop in and pick him up. Pretty funny as well.

From Pat YamIstillemployed:

The Panthers released veteran defensive end Tyler Brayton. Believe it or not, this was a salary-cap move. Although the Panthers came out of the lockout among the league leaders in cap space, their recent spending spree has them close to the $120 million cap and they want to make more moves. Cutting Brayton frees up $3.5 million in cap space.

Probably more of his infamous baseless speculation, but according to Pat the Panthers are still making moves.

Any word on bringing in a veteran QB to help mentor the younger guys? Besides Delhomme, even though he had some good moments that I saw last year with the Browns, I still wouldn't trust him to come in if our other two guys got injured.

What about bringing someone in such as Daunte Culpepper (who I heard was looking to come back to the NFL), looking for other opinions. Or, should we even bother bringing in a veteran QB? =o

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
