#Panthers Top 10 Paid Players. CAR has the 11th least cap space w/ $26.8M, of which $119.5M (63%) tied up in their Top 10. Most of their top 10 players have significant amounts of dead money ($8.5M+) attached to their cap numbers, but restructuring top 3 can create more space:

If CAR wanted to create more cap space, restructuring QB Newton, LB Kuechly, or DI Short base salaries might be an option. Short's makes the most sense, since Newton & Kuechly already have $7M in bonus money; not a smart move to make those numbers bigger.

CAR fans might want to get rid of CB Munnerlyn, but would need to find a replacement for him at $2M to realize any savings. If CAR addresses CB in the draft, Munnerlyn could be a post-Jun 1 cap casualty and add $3.5M in cap space in 2019.

Yes please

Check out Matt Kalil sitting near the top of the list while riding the bench.

But people are mad about Olsen? What a joke.

[MillionDollarCam]

Why the heck would they make Captain a post June 1st cut, that’s a waste of money.

Just cut him outright and save the money with the intent to address the nickel position in free agency or the draft.

I still think the best thing Carolina could do with Munnerlyn is move him back to safety to replace the aging Adams. Captain is a willing and aggressive tackler and could work much better in open space and assisting in coverage rather than taking on slot receivers (and we don't see many dedicated slot receivers anymore, but we do see WR1s lining up in the slot creating terrible mismatches with Munnerlyn).

The answer is on the team and it's Dante Jackson. We need a proven starting veteran corner. Most likely we go into next season with the starting secondary looking exactly the same.

Also lol at restructuring KK’s contract, just what that lazy bum needs, more guaranteed money up front and a bigger cap hit in the future.

This is a very popular trend around the league knowing it creates a mismatch with any #1 or 2 WR against a safety, nickle (at best) or a LB. Colleges are doing it as well.

Interesting that out of our top ten paid players, Luke is the only one who outperformed his compensation.

This team ranks near the top in pay and bottom in performance.  It helps to explain why these players will be watching the playoffs on their couches with the rest of us.

[Bama Panther]

What that chart shows me is that Carolina fails to pay players based on their expected future performance. That is what the team should be paying for, as opposed to paying players for past performance. When you pay for past performance, as Carolina has seemingly done, you end up with far too many players being overpaid for their level of production...and a pissy salary cap situation. Same old, same old, I guess.

Is that before or after cap increase? Could make a lot of tough cuts a remake the defense going forward, I mean I’d be all for it

We still have Cockrell coming back but Im not sure if he can cover inside. Plus other options can be evaluated at the position ie Corn, Doss and Gaulden. We really need a FS if we can get Reid to come back and play SS. Either way, I think we have seen the last of Captain in our uniform hopefully.
