Teddy Bridgewater $17,000,000
Kawann Short $11,017,000
Luke Kuechly $7,130,000
Stephen Weatherly $2,000,000
Graham Gano $1,537,500
Michael Palardy $500,000
Zach Kerr $250,000
Kenny Robinson $249,150

Thank you, Hurney.  But to be fair, we can't lay Luke's dead cap at Hurney's feet.  Other than that, well done, Marty, well done...

Well why did they offer a 7th if not?

Because Carolina carrying salary was almost assuredly always a mandatory condition, even if the dollar amounts varied at varying times. Denver 'compromised' by moving up from a 7th to a 6th. That contract value was unpalatable to anyone in its current-year value.

It's kind of like with the Rams and Lions did with Goff (on a far lesser scale).

There had long been speculation that we were going to have to do something like this to move Bridgewater because his contract was terrible.

Good for Teddy.  Good for us (fans) 

I think the whole Teddy experiment is a knock on our front office though.   From start to finish.  

It was a mistake and they’re not perfect. It’s not the mistake so much as the recover. They learned quick this was a no go and moved on as fast as humanly possible, that’s important to remember.

No way in the deep depths of hell would JR ever of moved on so quick and risk losing a single cent, dragging it on and on for dear life at the expense of the team and fans. We’ve seen it plenty players and coaches.

The mistake (start) sucked but I disagree, the change of pace (finish) is very nice.

      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.

      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.
