CMC and Shaq restructured

What the fug are you talking about you moron. Who cares about his injury. CMC is a stat whore for a position that typicall costs late round picks or a FA singing to be competitive at. He's failed numerous times with the game on his shoulders to score or gain 2 yards for a first down. He's a net negative. He does too much that is not his primary role, and too little at his primary role. The Panthers need 2 runningbacks because of his short yardage weakness. 

His contract is absurd.

Actually, your post is probably going to get you banned--but first, some suggestions:  Don't call someone a moron for disagreeing with you and in that same post demonstrate the grammar and writing mechanics of an eleven-year-old exchange student from Romania. 

This (?) is called a question mark.  It comes at the end of an interrogative sentence.

"At" is a preposition and ending a sentence with one tends to suggest that the writer of that sentence lacks formal education.

"Running Backs" is 2 words, not a compound word. 

And everything you say is an opinion that totally disregards statistics related to the NFL historical data.

So you probably are in no position to question anyone's intelligence, which explains the underlying rage behind your post.

So please, go back to school and learn how to write, but before that, please accept some constructive feedback:

I agree in general, that thought process isn't wrong and was definitely the case before the restructure. Today's move made it $9m more expensive to cut or trade so the team has decided not to go in that direction. 

I thought that it means that basically we're taking more of a hit now, but will be easier to manipulate their contract numbers in the future--make their numbers more absorbable and palatable, even in the event that they're cut or traded, in the future, and that this benefit would pass along to other teams because the numbers would be lower, especially in relation to a rising cap number.

Yeah? It was a stupid fuging contract, I said it then, I'm saying it now.

It's weird how being objective is a sin in this shithole of a forum.

That contract along with Shaqs will be remembered as some of Tepper/Rhules worst moves early on. They're what needs to be done to rebuild the Panthers. Throw Hurney under a bus all you want, it's not changing the dumb moves that those two keep piling on. The Panthers should have bottomed out last year and had the 1-2nd pick in the draft along with 2 third comp picks + a 4/5 + 2 6ths, and a fuging load of cap space. Instead they're doing everything thing they can to shoot for 8-8.

This is being "objective"? 

Have you Googled that word yet?

It's shifting non-guaranteed money to signing bonus, which means more dead money. This accelerates the actual cash paid for the current year, but it's the cap hit that matters and this move spreads the newly-converted $9m bonus amount out over the remaining life of the contract. So it's a much lower cap hit this year, but it increases the cap hit for every future year of the contract. This increase is reflected in the signing bonus portion of the future cap hits, which is your dead money amount if/when you do trade or cut the player. 

So it's all a timing difference. Any amount of money you pay to a player, whether it's salary for games previously paid or signing bonus money, it has to count against the cap eventually. So you're allowed to save in the current year, but still have to incur the cap charge eventually.

It's a critical error to restructure Shaq. Restructuring a player who should be being released is peak Hurney. It's as if he never left.

Who do you blame for this particular transgression?

Kicking the can down the road on two players who underwhelmed the same year they signed a lucrative extension. Seen this story before as a Panthers fan. Doesn't usually end well but I will withhold judgment depending on what ultimately happens with the quarterback position.

What part of having a great start to a season, getting injured but being a healthy scratch for weeks 14-17 constitutes “underwhelming”

fwiw CMC was the best player on the field last year against KC.

Just so everyone is clear, the move makes sense to clear cap this year where literally every team is on a budget. 

I'm more mad that the contracts are so crap that they need to be restructured so soon after they were signed. 

I'm retroactively pissed.

Why just be pissed at their contracts in specific? The whole roster is completely fugged from just 4 years of Hurney and frankly Rhule didn't help much last year either when you go through the numbers. We are lucky we got out not being right next to the saints in cap hell.

My only guess is they thought getting a starting QB, CB, FS, DT, LT, LG, RG, TE, slot WR, AND both LB positions was a little too much for one offseason, so they held on to Shaq. Do I agree with it? No, but at least he is just overpaid and not a liability on defense.

This, this, and more this.

You have to view these moves in the context of a season in which the salary cap is contracting 8%.  Those contracts perhaps don't need restructuring if COVID doesn't happen and the salary cap for 2021 increased from 2020 just like it has every year since 2011.   It makes sense to free up money this year to field a competitive roster and push some money to later years when the salary cap is likely to rise again.

If they want to keep Robby around they should try and extend him too. That's another 5.5M in cap space freed up. That would leave only Moton and Bridgewater +10M.
