aucpe 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Setting aside all the CBA concerns, of which there are many that would prevent this from happening, there is only one team that can sign Fairley before the draft, and that would be no secret because it's the team with the first overall pick. So someone saying that Nick's already signed an agreement but can't say with who, doesn't make any sense. Again, setting aside the CBA concerns, even if Nick did sign with the Panthers, it would be unprecedented to sign him this early in the process. I would assume that the person is talking about Nick signing with an agent, but I'm not sure why that would be a secret unless he doesn't want the other agents who are hounding him to know. Again, that doesn't make sense because he wouldn't want to continue to fend off the agents who are still hoping to have a shot at him. He has to sign with an NFL certified agent anyway (unless he decides to represent himself - unlikely and not very smart!). I hear Master P has some experience negotiating NFL contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87aubie 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Other than the wise acre answers about an Indian (actually British) spice is anyone going to clue some of us into the "problem" with Curry? No. We're just going to give you wise acre answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Cid2001 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Curry is still on the team. As for Reece, I actually saw him at Walmart last night and talked to him for a little bit (we went to the same high school and played on the same tennis team). He's doing fine and he loves it here. He's a smart guy, who's doing a good job at making the transition to college. He might've been a tad bit below starting sec shape, but he's a freshman who just got to school. so he's fine Reece plays tennis????? Wow, learn something new each day.

auclong 1 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Got to talk to my buddy on the team this past weekend and he told me a couple of interesting things. Nick Fairley has already signed his contract. Flair cant tell anyone who it is, but my friend told me how much except i can't remember. The other thing he told me was that Dismukes insnt in nearly good enough condition to play yet. He showed up out of shape. This isn't much of a problem since he's here for spring. Also said Tunde looks really good and will probably get time in Spring depending on how Dismukes comes along. Said Curry is not on the team (for the same reason everyone thinks/knows) Fairley hasn`t signed a contract unless you mean with an agent. Contract=Endorsement deal? Agreed but his statement reads as if he signed his NFL contract. Just needs a little clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuffy11111 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Lol I was told he signed with a team....really not that uncommon. Bradford did it last year, and Lomg was signed extremely early before that. I may have misenterperpretated something since I was at a party and...you know. Saw him later today and he said the d-linemen were mad about Rocker leaving. Said that no other coach in the country will be able to get them to work as hard as he did. I hope that all of them don't feel that way. He said the coaches just said "trust us" at a meeting they had at 11:30. One other thing, i saw Thomas O'reilly today with a huge cast type thing on, probably a workout injury or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamousandy 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 no way fairley signed an nfl contract with the labor talks still going on and the combine yet to start. Exactly. One of the points of negotiation is going to be the structure and length of rookie contracts, so there's no way Fairley and Carolina could already have a deal signed. Plus, Carolina's owner is apparently playing the "Bad Cop" in the negotiations (or he's a complete moron, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt), so I doubt he'd be going out of his way to undermine his own role in the negotiations at this stage. I would expect all of the draft picks to have to wait until the new CBA is agreed to before any contracts are signed, the teams just can't risk making the wrong assumptions about how the salary cap and rookie wage scale/length of contracts are going to work. You are a wise man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
