IMO If the team ends up keeping Bridgewater which could be a little handy when bringing in a rookie QB, and also keep Shaq for at least another year. You could restructure both of there 2021 contacts to free up cap savings!

*Bridgewater estimated cap savings: $8.1M

*Shaq estimated cap savings: $6.3M

*Total cap savings for these 2 players in 2021: Around $14,414,167 if restructured

*Figures based off overthecap.com

I know where your coming from on your gif image. I'm just saying the team has options to free up more cap savings if (Fitt, Rhule, and Tepper decides to try that option) on these players. But restructuring Shaq contract would save more cap space than if you released or traded him pre-June 1st (cap savings $4,580,000; dead money: $9,600,000). If released or traded post-June 1st would have cap savings of $4,563,333 (cap savings:$10,980,000; dead money:3,200,000) more than restructuring his contract (cap savings:6,326,667; dead money: $0).

TB and Shaq are both overpaid. Restructuring doesn't rectify this. We pay them this year and cut them both next year. We draft their replacements this year or next. That is the best financial and football decision on each of them.

I don't think Teddy would be willing to restructure. Unsure about Shaq. 

Teddy will most likely be gone this offseason and I suspect Shaq will be gone after 2021. 

Our best hope from an overall view is to trade teddy for a second or third round after June first to a team in dire need of a QB, such as one who losses their starting QB in training camp. Anything else and he's a flat loss books wise.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      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.

      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.
