lol I was thinking all of his salary goes off the cap. Well we are in a shitty situation. Next question is what will happen to Cam?

 

Don't know if it will be better to cut him or get a 3rd round pick for him. Tough times for Panthers fans right now. We went from Cam/Kuechly/TD to now just CMC.

Yeah when you have a new owner and new coach things like this happen. The players have no connection to the team. It's why we hired a rebuilder.

His contract was restructured twice. Once in 2018 and once more in 2019. 

 

2018 raised his cap hit 1.8m in 2019-2020

2019 restructuring added two voidable years and raised his cap hit another 1.7mish

 

When shaq got paid, I kinda thought this would happen. No way you pay 30m a year for ILB.

Umm, that’s all that counts. Dead money comes from money already paid that isn’t counted on the cap. I’ll use Matt Kalil as an example. We paid him a total of $25M in 2017 and 2018 including bonuses. We structured his deal so that his cap charges for 2017 and 2018 were only $10M. That meant that we had $15M in dead cap. People freak out as if the dead cap is some unbelievable amount even though in essence we saved that same amount in the prior years. People ignore the savings and then freak out over having to pay for the savings. 

Thanks, I knew that some of the money had already been paid, didn't realize that all of had.

2012 Draft - Top Ten

Luck - retired
Griffin - backup QB for the Ravens
Richardson - long gone, huge bust
Kalil - don't wanna talk about it
Blackmon - misbehaved himself out of the league
Claiborne - backup for the Chiefs
Barron - never lived up to his potential, especially being taken over Kuechly
Tannehill - a good quarterback...for someone other than the team that drafted him
Kuechly - retired
Gilmore - see Tannehill, Ryan (change quarter to corner)

Luke is probably the best of that group.  And I believe the only one to play in the big game.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
