[Jay Roosevelt]

People think CMC's contract makes him impossible to trade, but that can always be manipulated.

How?  Genuinely curious how it could work

Are you saying this because you know it's true? Or are you saying it because you want it to be true? Cuz if you know how we can do so. Would you explain it to us who don't get it?

Everyone killing Rhule this week you know what that means Panthers will definitely win tomorrow

We haven’t won at home in over a year and boast the longest losing streak in the NFL.  

there were fire Rhule chants, boos, etc going down mid season last year.  Clearly, bashing Matt Rhule isn’t some secret formula to finding a win.

I have to believe someone did.  Rhule IMO has this "football Guru" mentality and that he knows exactly what he is doing and they are going to do it his way.  Plain and Stupid.

 

There. I fixed that for you.

My Understanding is that Tepper and Rhule are friends. Is this true? If so that might be why Tepper is reluctant to just fire Rhule.

the pressure to fire Rhule is building on Tepper

We really should trade CMC. It's the best for both parties. For us, we get assets to build around and out from under a big money RB contract. For CMC, he gets out of this dumpster fire.

A rebuilding team doesn't benefit from a big money injury prone RB.

This.

I advocated trading CMC since last season.  It just doesn't make sense to invest big money in RBs in today's NFL.  No matter how good they are, it almost always causes huge problems to give them big money.  The best teams are constantly turning over that position, as it should be.

It's true. Giving a RB a big money contract is almost always a bad move. Draft them and let someone else pay them.

Hindsight is always 2020 but imagine where we'd be as a franchise right now if we had taken Mahomes at #8 and say Calvin Cook at RB in the 2nd in that 2017 draft. Now obviously we weren't on the 1st round QB market then but again, hindsight being 20/20 and all that...

4th rounder for CMC. GTFO of here with that nonsense.

I'm no expert but I think the panthers could add some years that automatically void at the end of his contract and then convert a portion of his remaining salary to signing bonus which would be paid now but hit the cap across all the years on his contract.

That would add dead money to our cap in future years but could make him very attractive to contenders in a trade.

They could do the same thing without the voidable years which would add more dead cap sooner if he were traded.

Very debatable if any of that would be a good idea.
