choice: KK short

[scpanther22]

Nothing serious just a game to tide us all over till the game when it comes to the KK contract would you rather..

A. Like for him to have another monster year. Thereby commanding to be paid top DT money. Which going on 28 years old would be in the Suh, Marcell Dareus range of 95 to 114 million or..

B. Have a "down year" by his standards with more moderate sack numbers that could be used as leverage by the FO to get him to sign a contract more inline with the top 10 to 15 defensive players in the league. A regression to the mean so to speak with last years numbers being more of an outlier

Each choice of course has its own pros and cons. going with A, you risk him not living up to the contract which judging by how a lot of DT get after they get paid is always a strong possibility. Tying up so much in one player could cost us somewhere else. On the other hand the pros are self-evident. Getting interior pressure is rare and makes the entire defense that much better.

Going with B, somewhere between 6 to 8 sacks and fewer pressures. Sign a lower contract along with the possibility of someone else emerging on the DLine. less money paid overall of course protects cap space and could be used for other moves but not as much production from KK.

I want him to wreck assholes. I want to win now. the contract will take care of itself with effort from both sides.

C: let Gettledog do his thing, whether it be perhaps trading him, tagging him, and ultimately bringing the next guy up through the draft (Hello Butler)

Obviously tho I want KK to stay, at the right price.

This could be another Superbowl year for the Panthers. IDGAF about the offseason. The Lombardi is there now for the taking THIS SEASON.

 

Unleash hell, KK.

I would like KK to repeat last years play (not stats)....but get even better play from Star and good play from Butler.

I think if those around him make more plays it helps with his contract.  We still benefit from great interior play it just isn't seen on one man's stats 

but I can't get on board with not wanting him to play as good 

[scpanther22]

Gettlemen is gonna work either way it goes. This is not an indictment on him. lol just a game

Huge year and win a Super Bowl. If the contract doesn't work itself out after that then sincerely thank him for his contribution with the team and go with Butler. He'd get his money somewhere else+a ring and wed get our ring + money to spend on upcoming contracts. Win win. Obviously I hope we can keep him either way but I can't see Gettleman paying that much for him.

Panthers have the cap space.  I hope KK blows poo up and gets $18 mill next year.

If you're not the General Manager or the player's agent, then why concern yourself with KK's contract?

Why is this a thing???
