Trai Turner Contract Details: Panthers gave Trai Turner a 4-year $45M extension, including $20.5M gtd averaging $11.25 per year

I think it is just as likely that DG was playing chicken with Turner as well. He had a tendency to quibble over a few million a year. If I remember correctly we didn't sign Norman and the sides were only 2 million apart. It is just as likely that Hurney saw Turner's agents position and felt it was close and split the difference instead of getting in a pissing contest over a million here or there.

I dont see how that could be true.

The signing bonus does count against the cap it just gets prorated over the life of the contract.

You have to keep in mind how much the salary cap is raising per year. This season it's been increased by 12 million. During Dave Gettleman's tenure with the Panthers the salary cap rose around 44 million.

Going to miss deals like this.. Glad Gettleman left Marty with a parting gift besides the office chair with the imprint of his fat ass in the cushion

I love the folks blaming Hurney for this.  Gettleman had this all but signed before he was fired.

Now if Kelvin gets a $15 million a year deal tomorrow....ok, then we have Hurney-magic...

Voth confirmed it was Gettleman who set this up.

Voth said Gettleman laid the framework.. we don't know whether or not Hurney put any finishing touches on it.

There is so much fans dont think about.. Maybe DG wanted 5 years?  maybe that would have helped us in some way down the line if we had several players needing new deals after the 4th year.  Maybe there were some other small details that DG was trying get into the deal, that Marty was willing to concede on.

Maybe it was Turner that G-Man didn't want to pay...we all know he didn't value the offensive line.

And if hurney does that enough times, we'll be back into cap hell again

Who gives a flying monkey crap who set this up....it's done and we have one more piece locked up to solidify an offensive line. Let it go. Gettleman is gone and bitching and complaining about it ain't gonna change a thing. Hope for the best and enjoy what I believe is gonna be a great season no matter what happens after and especially what happened that we can not change.
