Rico Dowdle signs w/ Panthers 1 year up to 6.25 million

[AbeBeta]

That's free agency for you -- crap teams always overspending on mediocre talent.

 

[CWR]

So he's a fool for going after a 50% pay bump according to you? There's a fool amiss, alright. Lol.

Not to mention i don't know where he get a "probably offered" from. I dont recall a whole lot of negotiating with Rico.

 

[NDGAEDE]

Why exactly did we sign a worse player for more money than the one that was just here?

 

[JeffInDC]

$6M to be the backup to Hubbard because Brooks tore his ACL AGAIN…nice payday though

 

[IceStar-D7]

Good luck-Rico. Never gave the guy a chance until near the middle of the season and then he balled. Probably turns into a nice player as most do after leaving Jerryville.

 

[Pass2Run]

Damn, I was hoping we'd keep him. We're losing talent and not gaining enough in return..

UP TO 6.25M. That’s the text from Rico’s agent sent to Rap. For all we know it’s $3M guaranteed with incentives he won’t reach unless Chubba gets hurt

Yes, for only a 1 year deal? What an idiot. He should have stayed in Dallas. Would have been the full-time starting RB, been getting paid $4 mil/season, plus all of the sponsors and commercial money being made off the field simply for wearing the Star on his helmet.

What an idiot, and so are you for not realizing it.

No sponsors in Dallas are going to pay Rico Dowdle $2.25 million in the next 12 months. The Panthers aren’t good right now, neither are the Cowboys. He’s getting a comparatively modest $6 million, not $60 million.

Javonte signed for a lot less.

 

[StuckMojo]

Good deal for him. I believe he's from that area as well...

Yes he is from Asheville,NC which is two hours from Charlotte

 

[NDGAEDE]

Javonte signed for a lot less.

Love how you start by saying Dallas "probably" offered $4 million a season in your first post without any knowledge of whether or not it actually happened. For multiple years even. Then you double down and use your own "thoughts" as a fact of what Rico would get if he stayed. There is not a single thing posted anywhere that he and the Cowboys were even talking in the first place.

Then on top of that you add "all of the sponsors and commercial money" like it was going to be some huge sum. Still waiting to hear about those endorsement dollars rolling in for Turpin for "simply wearing that star on his helmet" and he is a two time probowler.

Read your last sentence above and ask yourself which of you two fit that description; The one who wished him well or the one who made up a bull#$#% story about a future with nothing but conjecture and bashed said player as greedy without a single fact to back anything up?

Yup its $3M + $3M incentives I'm seeing on twitter. what the HECK is this front office doing?

 

[Bigrandrn]

Dude had 1000yards on 4.6 yards/carry…..that actually a pretty darn good avg that he kept up for the whole year, wasn’t just like 30 carries or something for the whole year.

 

[Sydla]

El Cheapo strikes again!

LOL

 

[krs1bro]

This guy has always been a warrior. I'm very happy for him. Good luck Rico!

 

[StuckMojo]

I was going off the $6.25 million I read on here.

 

[Kingofholland]

I thought this deal would have been longer than 1 year.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

All the best to Rico Dowdle.
