Has Hurney gone fugging nuts????

You guys do realize that this was because we had to hit the cap floor, right?

Would you guys have rather us let him walk and sign some old, veteran player to an insane deal? Besides, he's only 25 years old. He'll be 31 when the deal is over. I'm glad we kept him instead of letting him go to Atlanta.

25 year old DE who showed a ton of promise in relief and busts out the first opportunity he gets named the starter. All this while playing from behind because we were running our fuging fisher price offense. He's also not one-dimensional, being really stout against the run. A top 5 FA in a huge pool at a position of extreme demand.

What the fug is wrong with some of you?

The deal still isn't as much as we paid Peppers (per game) to stay after we tagged him, and we have WAY more cap room now. And CJ isn't going to be the highest paid player at his position either.

jtgreensboro, I think you're the one losing your mind bro... if Hurney drops a 80-mil 4-year on DWill, THEN you can get excited.

signing bonus' cap hit will be balanced out for the length of the contract. they paid the appropriate price for a premium 3-down DE and can slot him in as a starter for the length of the contract. the guy is 25 years old and will be 31 when he hits free agency again.

this is the MO of the 2011 carolina panthers. i would rather them spend 70 mil on a proven player developed by them than on a risky free agent, a CB, a rookie #1 pick in years' past, a contract extension for john fox, and pretty much anything else. this is the best way to spend the big bucks in the NFL: keeping the players that you know are good and young and ready to work.

Always been the MO for them. They pay the players that perform and they want to keep.

posted this in another thread. someone was asking how CJ's contract effected the cap...

billvoth Before, a 30 trying to fit into a 42. Now, a 34 into a 42. Still plenty of room left RT @Musabucks: @billvoth Where's this put us cap-wise?

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
