Either that or the 26M cap space this takes off Panthers books for 2022.

The authors of the article didn't talk to anyone to push back on the lawyer's claims then..

That is not how it works.  As you noted, you only need to claim  the minimum amount to invoke jurisdiction.  That just gets your foot in the door.  Settlements...and judgments have been obtained in the millions of dollars where the bare minimum has been prayed for in the pleadings.

No, it's not. That's how people react.

Sure, some may report immediately - but some may not.

Link goes to the harvard kennedy school, which is a part of the second-best school on the north half of the red line [subway] in Boston. [the best, of course, is MIT]..

"There are a wide range of reasons people don’t report their experiences with sexual harassment and assault to authorities and, oftentimes, even hide them from friends and family members."

But the one thing that is true.. once one comes forward, the stigma and negativity from them being the first/only is gone and therefore the dam bursting phenomena would be what you'd see.

It seems interesting to note that the cases are for the minimum to invoke jurisdiction - $500 - so plaintiffs aren't in these cases for "the money".

The more that come forward the less likely it is that there is nothing to this 

Why do I kind of think the opposite

Total of 7 lawsuits as of today against Watson.. I really have no prediction on this, but it can't be good for his FA future.

While not wanting to dismiss the legitimate concerns of women who have been put in these situations this spate of lawsuits stretch credulity

Maybe I’m being silly but it’s a hell of a coincidence all this is coming out as soon as he requests a trade

Fitzpatrick signs with Washington....to presumably be some kind of bridge QB for now.

Winston signs  a 1 year prove it deal with Saints. 

Rodgers losing like the best OC in football won't make him happy. 

Dalton signs with Bears.  He may be their starter.  Pencil him in for now.

Guaranteed base is low. Word is the Pats are still shopping.

I have to think they are drafting one on Day One... and possibly moving up to do so.

With Jerrah front loading Dak's contract to the point of being ridiculous...

... including, but not limited to, a $66mm signing bonus...

... yet it somehow results in a 2021 cap figure of only $22mm...

... I have officially given up trying to understand "the cap."

Ah, now I am in good company. I ignore it all and just look for who we actually sign in the off season and who we draft. This year I think we have a real chance to do this up right and get beyond a 1st round win.

Hallelujah !  For 2 years now, I've been turning the station on Dak's 'old & stale' new contract news..I never thought this would happen in Big D.. Good for Dak..Out played his draft slot to some serious bucks ?

Tour and I will take a bow for his "discovery" way back in Miss. St. days. ?

forgot that point...yes it is nice to not hear it...but it will be replaced by what will the Cowboys do with Zeke?  He’s a goner next offseason I believe. 

The Dak dilemma you had to answer two questions

Is he as average as fans make him out to be?

When you dig into things and see everything out there Did Jerry really have a choice?
