I may be in the minority here but I feel like we should let the CJ contract play out. I don't know how confident I am in how many years he has left at a high level. We seem to be in fine cap position this year for what we plan to bring in and we seem to be in a good cap position for next year. So I do not really see the need to move on in his contract right now.

Sometimes it is best to just take your lumps rather than kick the can down the road.

You extend him so you lock him up for the rest of his career. He is still on this side of 30 and has shown to be durable and productive. You don't restructure and you don't sit pat when we need him for his ability and his,leadership. If you give him a 3 year extension you end up reducing his cap hit for this year and next and as long as the guarantee money is largely his salary for this year and next with a manageable signing bonus it is a win- win for both sides. With that said I have no idea what kind of money he is looking for as this point.

I disagree with this, let the contract play out instead of kicking the can down the road.  

 

I see both sides of the argument, but I disagree with 20M this year and 15M next, and then he's a FA in '17.  He's proven that he should remain a Panther, and a 2 or 3 year extension assures him of that.  Reduce his salary this year and next, and stretch it into a signing bonus that can be spread out over the next few years.  If we could free up 6-8M this year with CJ, our cap number looks solid.

 

CJ can be a rotational DE by the end of his contract.

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
