Trai Turner is being shopped around, per ESPN


TN05

Recommended Posts

I don't think we cut / trade him this year.  Doesn't make $$ sense.  However, I fully expect him to be out next year unless he turns back into a monster this year.  No way we're paying him $11 million base salary in 2021.

Btw hurney is horrible at contract negotiations Jesus . Every year he here it seem like we first in dead cap salary smh 

The dead cap is not really Hurney contracts -- do some research: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/

  • Luke Kuechly - 11M - Retired
  • Matt Kalil - 9.8M - Dave Gettleman contract
  • Greg Olsen - 3.7M - (But saved about 8M)

The rest of the guys on the list are basically inconsequential, we had 4 players as of this AM making more than 10M - Cam, KK, Trai, and Poe's option is reported to be declined. That will leave us with 3 players with salaries over 10M in 2021; pending what we do in FA, which I expect to be modest. 

In raw numbers cutting or trading KK, or Trai would be roughly a savings of 3M each, after subtracting salary vs savings, if you are Cam you should want to be here for the next window, he's 30 and we seem to have a staff in place looking to play modern football. This would be an ideal location not to mention. 

If the cap is managed well over the next two seasons, and the drafts / FA's pan out, we should be much better off.

Also, I don't believe the report, just like I didn't believe the Cam trade talk to CHI, or LAC. 

Coach said if it's to make the team better they'd look at anything, I think this is someone running with a story. The final year of Turner's deal is in 2021, and his dead cap vs savings would them open just under 6M in savings. Makes way more sense to make a trade / move next season considering we'd double the savings. 

And if you want a throw in, KK's contract also ends after 2021, his savings would only go up by 1M to 4M if traded, or released. And at that point with their base salaries, odds are they would be cap casualties and released. Doubt we'd find trade partners.
