Negotiations with McClain have not progressed well

[Mother Grabber]

Hopefully it is just both sides having trouble contacting each other, he can't be that much of an idiot and try to hold out.

Maybe he's on ATT and the call keeps dropping.

Meh, he'll sign and show up. He should realize he's really hurting his chances of starting by not signing. Fua could easily get the nod to start camp and never give it up.

As for Hogan, I don't know why everyone is so shocked he didn't pass his physical. IIRC, he wasn't expected to be healthy until late August/September.

He is Haynesworth's cousin's brother's friend-well on facebook. He wants the big money now.

If anyone saw Michael Irvin's rant on the NFL network (I seriously think our boy is back on the rock), it is a perfect illustration of how people are not getting the most basic concept of the CBA. If he wants to get to a second contract, he needs to sign the first. I suppose he wants it fully guaranteed and that would be stoopid for a third rounder.

Hogan is going PUP--I thiought that was the plan when we drafted him.

[Razeyfingers]

You guys keep saying he's gonna lose a spot to Fua. . . but theyre not the same type of DT's. McClain is more of 3 tech.

and Hogan was not going to be an answer for anything this year, no doubt. Let him heal then we'll see what he is.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

McClain is a dumbass. We could sign any random fat guy for a lot less money and we wouldn't be missing out on much.

[Proudiddy]

Still makes no sense... What's he gonna do? Holdout as a 3rd round pick? He WOULD get nothing if he does, he's already not getting much.

[CarolinaNut]

dude, needs to get rid of that agent...he's gonna make him lose some money by not getting his contract done...i have high hopes for McClain this year too

[JawnyBlaze]

I don't think the complications are due to any fault of McClain's....sounds like just something between the agent and Marty and it probably won't end up being a problem. Like AntiBuc said, a lot of players around McClain's draft spot aren't signed yet either.

Panthers DT Terrell McClain has still not agreed to a contract. Can't imagine what the holdup here. Honestly shouldn't be that hard.

What a fool..

[Mother Grabber]

What a fool..

[The_Cannon]

If he misses tomorrow won't he start being fined? Sounds like a bad football decision and a bad money business decision...

[rico6]

lol, enjoy being broke.

If I learned one thing from Die Hard, its that you can't negotiate with McClain.
