Wharton Meeting With Panthers

[SauceBoss]

If we already owe Wharton money, this is the easiest way to add depth.

Wharton and Winston, solid vet offensive line

We don't owe him money. The dead cap salary we have on the books was paid to him years ago. He got the money in his signing bonus when he signed the contract. It is just prorated over the life of the deal.

Frankly, I was happy to see Wharton go, but I think it was due to his salary.  At the vet minimum I like him more.  if he moves Hangman to a reserve, better still.

 

Hangartner is not a great RG--it is probably the third best position for him on the OL--so in fairness to Hangman, he does a heck of a job being versatile.  That makes him a great backup.  He is worth his salary as a reserve, but not as a starter--that does not seem to make sense on the surface, but he does not save a roster spot as a starter.

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but what does the non-football injured list mean for bryant?

Edit. I guess it's similar to PUP?

[SauceBoss]

I'm originally from Scarborough... probably about 25 minutes north of Ogunquit and right outside of Portland. However, I'm living outside of Boston this summer because I am interning with the Patriots.

So I guess we're going after him b/c of Hurney Magic?

yeah it is similar for guys injured in non football related situations. He counts against the 90 man roster and can come off at any time during training camp.

I submitted once.  Do not understand why this happens so often.

Wharton + Mikell = More optimistic SCP

Wharton + Mikell = More optimistic SCP

 

Damn straight.

 

We make those two moves and I will be a majorly Happy Camper.

For now at least I trust Gettleman's pro talent evaluation abilities. So if we sign Wharton I'll assume they've seen enough to convice them he hasn't fallen off too much since the injury.

[Strawman]

I see it as a win/win if he is signed. Either he can come in and play right away until Kug is ready, or he's a vet mentor for the 2 young guards.
