...............Panthers Organization will have to pay him an extra 1.2-1.5 million on top of his already RIDICULOUS contract, just because he is being selected to it. Did you guys and gals know that?

I'm sure most do, but wanted to refresh some memory for you all. :D

All year long we thought it was only a million a game, well it went up a tad bit more now.

:rolleyes:

Just sayin..............

Are you sure we owe him $1.2 million for making the Pro Bowl? I am pretty sure there are no extra incentives in a franchise tendered contract.. he doesn't get any incentives rolled over from his previous contract.. that previous contract is null and void.

Positive. And almost positive it is closer to 1.5 million. It's called incentives.

"He earned a $1.5 million roster bonus by making the Pro Bowl, raising his compensation this season to nearly $18.2million, believed to be the highest of any defensive player."

Just throwing this out there guys........CONTRACT YEAR. :rolleyes:

Now...with that being said, I really don't think it's all about the money for Pep. He could have already made more in endorsements than he will ever get for the NFL had he chose to.

I mean come on, how many endorsement deals to you see him doing?? Just can't put my finger on this guy, and his mindset.

He could have, right off the bat, the day he came into the NFL, hooked up with Dr. Pepper(and several other products), and made boozillionz of dollars promoting his name, along with theirs, but to my knowledge he hasn't.

He is a hard one to figure out for sure. I would hate to see him go, but I just don't see any player worth 100's of millions of dollars, in any sport, especially when it handcuffs, and limits the team at other positions that may need to be improved on.

I know it's all about business, and if this organization can operate with that kind of spending, then I'm all for it, as long as it helps, not handcuffs the team. I hate to see this org "go all in"(in gambling lingo) for him to just show up whenever he wants to.

As with Fox, I am still straddling the fence, so I guess you could say I'm on a 2 rail fence at the moment. :D

Point being.....Pep can make money with his name alone if he wanted to, but he hasn't done that. So I can't understand why it is such a big issue to him here. I think some things will come to light, and we'll see where his heart really is soon.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
