Dead Money This year

[All about the Benjamin]

Thought this was an idea for Charles Johnson's new nickname.

[bleys]

this wont be fixed by next year.  Expect more of the same until we are out of cap hell.  This is why Rivera was given an extension.  Gettlemen did not want to subject a new coach to this mess, and wanted to start fresh with a clean slate and new coach when the salary situation is resolved.

 

makes sense..  unfortunately.

If the Carolina Panthers sent me a check for $833 I wouldn't even cash it.

Sign it over to me then... I'd cash an 83 dollar from the Panthers. Money is money

Ehh I would probably frame it and hang it up in the mancave. At the very least I would keep the stub.

So this adds up to around $26.4M

However next year we have around $7.3M already on the books. Are we basically gaining $19M of cap space by the reduction of dead money? Less more cuts and releases of course.

But many of the big numbers are going away.

actually more then that 13m for Hardy

Sione Fua.... LOL

[panthersphan]

So what you're saying is we'll have 19M in cap space in 2015?

Sans Hardy that would be 32M in cap space in 2015?!

Maybe GMan is just setting up for 2015 and beyond....

How is Haruki Nakamura still getting paid from us?

[Dexterity]

5 million dollars divided by 16 games is $312,500.00. We paid Steve Smith three hundred thousand dollars to kick our asses.

Would you rather have paid him $35,000,000 (fully guaranteed) to play here from 2014-16?

Cutting Smith was the right move. It saves nearly $25,000,000 over the next two seasons.

Trying to figure it out. We have 4 or 5M right now and losing a bunch of dead money and Hardy. Probably some savings in letting D-Will go and maybe another big name. Then add in a potential Cam contract and a potential Luke contract. Also will the cap be raised?

Smith had a $35M fully guaranteed contract?

Nah, I think his dead money this year was 5, but his cap his was 9 IIRC, I don't have the elite access to spotrac.

 

 

We saved 4 million this year, and 9-11 or so next year, I'm totally going by memory from a few months ago though.
