Devin Funchess, his agents, and next year...

[Vagrant]

I say we offer him $2.5 million a year for 4 years. If he declines, make it 5 years. Then 6 and so on. Hopefully his satisfaction doesn't go too low.

Salary cap will be 20mil higher by then as well.  In reality though we just have to keep drafting impact talent.  Cam has also progressed to the point where he'll get more from a WR than most other quarterbacks, that gives us some great flexibility.

posts like this at this point should be an auto week ban, I mean seriously? what made you think this post was a good idea?

Funch hasn't even played his second season and had under 500 yards last year.  He's still under contract for another 3 seasons, lets pump the brakes on this topic for at least another year maybe two.

It wasn't meant to be a super serious discussion.  Gettleman is having the VERY SAME thoughts right now.  If y'all don't want to discuss anything, then don't post.  Otherwise, leave us to our shits and giggles, which is all this is. It's all about the WHAT IF.  You HAVE to think about the what if.  Well, if you want to be successful, anyway.

If Funchess proves to be what were are expecting in his highly-anticipated sophomore season, then we have two WR1s on the roster from a money allocation POV.  

Just so we're clear on what "Two WR1s" looks like, Chicago's 2013 stats come to mind. 

Considering the fact that 1) Olsen is still on the team, and 2) Ted Ginn led the team in WR receiving yards last year...

Unless both KB and Funch have 1,100+ yard seasons this year, we don't have two WR1s.

If they do, then we cross that bridge...and bury third leg Greg....because he probably died. 

[Bozarden]

He literally doesn't even have 500 yards in the NFL yet and you are already worrying about giving him WR1 money? 

[the butch]

I don't think Olsen or Ginn will be on the team at that point.  Byrd will.  And a younger tight end in Deaver or Sandland will hopefully take over.  Byrd, Philly, and Deaver/Sandland is the key that will make signing both possible IMO.

Soon as I am the GM I'll worry about these things.

well that's just fine.  but i could think of a million better uses of my time than blasting off on light-hearted thread i disagreed with.

[Dunn]

Tag him!!! NOWWWWWWWW

[Untouchable]

Funchess resigns and Benjamin walks if it plays out that way 3 years from now. 

[pantherclaw]

Gettleman is NOT having these same thoughts.  He simply doesn't have to, and with all the other things he is doing right now, i promise you, he won't be thinking about it for at least another 2 years.

KB will get the 5th year option if he continues to ball out.

Funchess has this up coming season, plus 2 more. 

There is no reason for Getts to worry himself about it at this time. So much  can, and will happen in the next 3 seasons, that we simply can't predict what will happen. 

The only thing that can be assumed, is one of them won't be paid his second contract by the Panthers.
