2 years/7 mill for Oher Base is 850 thou. 2.5 mill

[R0CKnR0LLA]

that's still a pretty high hit for a guy to sit on a bench… they must think he's got starting potential

 

It's really not though. That deal is nowhere near starting LT money.

Having landed Michael Oher and Ted Ginn, the only thing the

Panthers need to do now is find a starting LT and WR.

id much prefer that deal to the Oher deal.  Parnell is a solid starter.  pay an extra 2.5 mil per year to get sure fire starter. He started the second half of last year for Dallas and was better than Free. 

 

This is exactly the rationale of why the Bucs gave big money to Anthony Collins last year....

Did some math bc why not

 

Year 1

If he gets cut before TC we pay 2.5M

If he gets cut on final cuts we pay 2.65M

If he gets cut after suiting up for 8 games we pay 3.2M

If he gets cut after suiting up for 16 games we pay 3.75M

 

Year 2

If he gets cut before TC we pay 4.25M

If he gets cut on final cuts we pay 4.4M

If he gets cut after suiting up for 8 games we pay 5.7M

If he hits FA after suiting up for 16 games we pay 7M

My thoughts.  I wonder how much Matsko had to do with the decision?  I watched a few Titan games on NFL rewind.  Oher was not that bad.  He seemed to be favoring his foot at times.  He bends and reaches at times, but when he moves his feet, he is very good.  I think Matsko, this system (featuring a running game), and a healthy foot will make him better than he was last year in Tennessee. 

 

I don't have Rewind but I managed to watch highlights of the Titans games on a different program I have. I was doing it to actually look a Derrick Morgan but it was Oher that actually looked the better player to me. Granted they were only brief highlights but it made me feel better than watching Bell.

 

I did notice that PFF has a very nice grade on Morgan BTW, +14 on 1000 plus snaps and their 5th rated edge defender in FA.

I noticed that Oher played with a little chip on his shoulder nd made it to the LBs when he fell off his block.  He struggled vs. the underneath move a time or two and held, but all in all, his feet were much better than Bell's.  I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised.
