Luke’s retirement + cap

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.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
