My mistake. Point still stands though - can draft a 23 year old LB who'll give you 70% of what Shaq does for peanuts next year.

Shaq's got a year left on his deal and will be 30 years old next year. I don't think he's in the team's long-term plans honestly. I think the bigger mistake would be adding years to that deal and pushing more of his money down the line for an aging LB at this point.

Three simple moves: Trade or cut Shaq Thompson This one is inevitable Extend Brian Burns and lower his cap hit from $16m to ~$6.5m First year cap hits for recent big money DE contracts: Von Miller ($5.15m), Maxx Crosby ($6.67m), Arik Armstead ($6m), Robert Quinn ($6.1m) Simple base salary restructure of DJ's contract DJ was just extended this offseason; don't think team brass holds this year against him and he's likely in their long-term plans at just 26 years old Play around with moves yourself: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tools/roster/carolina-panthers/2023/

Rams don't have a 2023 first round pick, so unless they're giving up at least their 2023 2nd and 3rd and their 2024 1st, I'm telling them to fug off if I'm Fitt.

If a team is not going to give up at least a first round pick, CMC is not going to be traded. And I agree with that. From an ESPN Insider article posted this morning:

Most of them aren't even under contract for next season. Free agents include Darnold, Erving, Chandler, Franklin, and Walker. Robbie already got shipped out. Probably cut Chubba. I think we'll end up keeping Elf because he's proven to be a decent-to-good center and the OL will continue developing continuity.

I don't foresee any big names moving. Trading CMC for some of the deals you see floated out there (PFF mentioned Bills sending a 2023 4th and a 2024 2nd) when trading him only nets Carolina $1.1m in cap space in 2023 makes no sense especially because none of his salary is guaranteed after this season. The biggest name I could see being moved at the deadline is Donte Jackson. Reasonable contract for a contender who needs secondary help to take on. We'd take a dead money hit on the signing bonus but free up space in 23.

It’s only $900k for this season (base salary) and next year is $12m but not guaranteed. The acquiring team does not take on prorated bonus/money.

No, it's $20m total dead money hit. We take $10.2m hit on this year's cap and $9.7m dead money on next year's cap. Free up $12m of 2023 cap space.

Cap wise, trading Robbie, extending Burns, and restructuring Moton and/or DJ will get us enough cap space to sign our draft class and make a move or two in FA.

Per www.overthecap.com, we are now a little over $10m under the cap with this move. Their calculator feature is quite useful: https://overthecap.com/calculator/carolina-panthers

I think we're on the hook for the prorated signing bonus ($9.8m) but the Cardinals have to assume the 2023 salary of $8.8m and non-prorated bonuses of $3.2m.

I think I saw somewhere that PJ didn't complete any pass that was further than 1 yard past the LOS. In nearly an entire NFL game.

pls no

Send Robbie to the Packers for a conditional 6th that can become a 5th based on some sort of playtime incentives and be done with it

Shane Steichen Ken Dorsey Ben Johnson Give me one of these three as HC

Oh now Wilks uses a TO

Have to complete the process of a catch going to the ground. Robinson didn’t imo

I don’t think that’s a catch…

LOL

Put Eason in lmao

Wilks game management leaves A LOT to be desired…
