2015 Dead Money

[TheSpecial1]

$7.3 million is excellent when you think we had something like $24 million is dead money this past year.

[PandaPancake]

Anytime your dead money is less than the Raiders free cap space its good

[Judo Thoreau]

Had to google Jared Wheeler. Looks a bit like Kalil, if he ate Philly Brown.

Shaq...never heard of him.

Shaq...never heard of him.

Stuck around for offseason workouts last year. Cut before camp began I believe.

[Pox 08]

Not bad!

 

Didn't we have close to $27M in dead cap last season?

 

 

Edit:  yep.  found it. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/

 

 

So with dead cap +  Hardy's tag......The Panthers paid out close to $40M to players,  to not play for us. ?

Not exactly. Dead money is the effect on the cap of prorated bonuses payed in the past. Mostly up front signing bonuses. The team didnt really pay that money in 2014. Its the cap effect of past signing bonus of players no longer on the roster.

I'd rather pay Smith $4mil to stay away than $13mil to be a average slot WR and perennial headache.

I agree the guy is a headache, but an average slot wr? The dude is in his mid thirties and balled this year.

Pretty much.

Had his best year since what, 2008?

He was below average the last 12 weeks- after he played Carolina week 4.

Smith would be getting 10 million in 2015............... 10,000,000

His hate fueled early season numbers died after the panther game. Now the ravens talking like they want him in the 3/4 WR role...... for the low price of 3 million. Brown sure looks good @ 500,00 compared to that. I'm shocked smitty didn't miss gameS, given at least once a game he needs the training staff to come help him.

11 was good but meh, point taken.

[chknwing]

can we renegotiate with players no longer on the team.

[top dawg]

Taking every opportunity to talk poo about 89 is getting old. The guy had a decent year. Leave it at that.
