A lot of fans tend to get up in arms about the salary cap, dead money, etc. I think most can assess that casual fans do little home work, and have a very media provided understanding of things of this nature. I thought with the rebuild / retooling talk it'd be an interesting prospect to look to what happens after 2021....gentlemen and ladies I present to you the Panthers 2022 players under contract.

In the image below you will see we have 7 players under contract (DJ Moore, I believe would be eligible for the fifth year option so he would make 8 at that point, as he was a 2018 draft pick). I bring this up to say keep an eye out on the contract lengths / extensions we hand out for the 2020 season as well as 2021 because in a few years, this will all look very, very different. And even if you look at 2021, we're currnetly showing no dead cap, I think it's a reason you've seen the moves made now that we have (think Turner's 3M savings, and eating the dead cap now vs having him under contract for 2021, and with Okung his 13M will free up more space for 2021 in the event his services are not retained.)

Whew, that's a thin line of black and blue there. However, if you are doing a rebuild, then it shows it can start right now as there will be room down the road.

There are a lot of folks for the 2020 team that are really going to be playing to be added to that list. Lots of opportunity, lots of room at the top if people want it bad enough.

      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.
