contract data for the team, for what it's worth.

nate salley gets $1mil. that would help quite a bit. we have options that are cheaper and better here already....not that it would take much.

jarrett and ryne robinson would be top of my list from the offense at the moment. i'm not seeing any immediate benefit to them being on the team when we have just as good options available who come at a much lower price tag. it wouldn't save us millions but it would help.

jarrett would probably excel somewhere else but i wouldn't care. he isn't doing it here so he's a waste of space if he isn't reaching his potential here.

landon johnson is the one i would most like to get rid of but we are stuck with him this year. the cap hit this year would be $2.1mil with or without him actually on the roster. he'd better get healthy and play the whole season.

for sure, not getting that extension worked out with peppers before the deadline is hurting us in a big way now.

    • I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.
    • To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.    
    • 1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
