How much money do we acquire from cutting KK after this year, Mike Davis, etc! Thanks a lot!!!

We can save $10M by releasing him next year. $21M cap hit and $11M and dead money. We will save $14.5M if he’s a post June 1st cut.  Likely, he gone next year.

I would not get rid of him. D-line rookies take a year or so to really develop and he is a good player (and a real good guy) who just had a bad 2 years (1 because of Washington as his DC and the next year was cut short from injury). We can still get 2 years out of him. No rush to move on.

You want to pay $21M to almost 33 year old DT cause he’s a good guy?  Hurney, is that you?

Cutting Short after the season would save about $10M. Cutting Davis would save $3M.

So if I'm understanding the structure of '20 & '21 on his contract, we would save $20M in '21 but have $11M in dead cap if we cut him at the end of this year? And then we can spread out the $11M over 2 years if he's a post 6/1 cut?

Honestly, as long as he doesn't go full Trai Turner this year, I'm cool keeping him through the end of 2021. We will have a nice chunk of cap space next year and it will be one less position to have to acquire next offseason.

I really think KK's play has been mostly due to him not having a space eater like Brown will be.... and partly due to getting paid.

This has been tough for me to adjust to as well, but keep in mind unspent cap space can now be rolled forward so that nice chunk of cap space is no longer spend it or waste it. Paying KK if he fails to live up to his contract isn't just a luxury we can afford if we aren't up against the cap because any savings could be rolled forward to help in future years.

Ofc the CBA is up for renegotiation but I don't think this new wrinkle is going away. In the current environment there is every incentive to cut a player not living up to his contract if he will not renegotiate and other players will be fine with this because that money will simply eventually get spent on someone who is producing.

Doesn't make sense to cut KK this year after his restructure screwed the numbers up.  If he doesn't produce in 2020, he's gone. He does produce, you can revisit things. 

I don't have any earthly idea why Mike Davis is, was, or ever will be on this roster at a 3 million dollar hit.

Is that the only thing I wrote? No. Sorry, I'll need to explain it out for you because you wanna be funny. D-line rookies (3 of them) in case you can't count will take time to develop and there is no benefit right now in cutting him. He is a good guy and was a very good player (once compared with DT Donald as the 2nd best). Even if he's the 15th best in the league, that still better the 3/4 of the DT's out there. So just financially we have nothing to lose by keeping him? Do you think we'll get a great DT for less than $10 mil a year? BTW, he just turned 31, get your facts straight. Big picture!

Clearly you are struggling with reading comprehension.  Read the OP question.  No one is talking about cutting him now.  It’s impossible to cut him now due to dead money.  McCoy was signed for $10M by the Panthers when he turned 31.  You were saying?

He is not worth the money and cutting him is a possibility at any time--why not now?  He could play better with a better nose--but if his heart is not in it, I would cut him immediately---I think our DTs McCoy, KK, Poe--all first rounders that got paid---sucked.  Get that sorry ass attitude out of the locker room.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
