Fact.

 

I stuck up Ian Thomas for the same reason as tremble= age. 

But when fittererererer gave him that 3 year 21 million(18?) deal, same thoughts here with tremble 100% disagree.....sure Panthers spend 4 years in developing him, guess what little has happened...... Sure he's still young, but so are 4th and 5th round rookies. 8 million will also cover the 4 years of contract with spare change.

I get the sentiment with this franchise I really do. But I don't think it's fair to compare him to Ian. I don't think Tommy has earned that kind of rep here. And he's only 24. Let's at least see what he brings to the table in the upcoming season and go from there.

Tommy is a fuging DAWG.  When healthy, he makes fuging plays.  And not just any plays, he will beat the man in front of him, more often than not.  He takes pride in his play.  How many fuging TDs does he have off of handoffs?  I feel like it’s been 2 or 3, maybe more…. It’s because he’s a fuging playmaker and has been stuck in dysfunctional ass offenses from the day he was drafted.  He makes plays, he just needs stability around him to really shine…  this isn’t the same as Ian.  Everyone was waiting for Ian to show what Tremble already has based off his measurables and perceived ability bc of them.  Tremble has already shown the ability to make plays when everything around him is poo.  He needs the rest of the offense and coaching to shore up around him so he can take the next step.  Glad he’s coming back.

Love or hate the contract just remember Dan has nothing to do with contracts

He's the GM, of course he does.

I am with you 

…some people just try and take the joy out of every fuging thing

Okay,  if these are the real numbers, then it isn't that bad.  Two years, a little over $10M and $4M is due at signing. Back out yearly bonuses and is just under $5M in salary for the life of the deal.  That I can live with.

[Icege]

Numbers do look similar to Ian Thomas' deal, but a couple of things worth noting:

• Ian Thomas signed a 3yr/$16.95M extension in 2022 when the cap was $208.2M
• Tommy Tremble signed a 2yr/$10.5M extension for 2025 when the cap is $279.2M
• Thomas' average salary of $5.65M accounted for 2.71% of the team's cap
• Tremble's average salary of $5.25M accounts for 1.88% of the team's cap
• Thomas got a $5M signing bonus compared to Tremble's $4M
• Both received $8M in total guarantees
• The team can free up $3.5M in dead cap next season if the cut Tremble

Solid deal. Team paid less than Ian Thomas' contract despite the salary cap going up... that's a dub.

People stuck in 2015. $8M guaranteed for a TE2 is a really solid number. Think he’s like 25 too 

No it’s not. Go to Spotrac and look at TE salaries. $8M was right at the middle of TE1s, around 15th-17th. That’s average TE1 money not TE2.

Tremble was 42nd in receiving yards. $8M is triple what he should have gotten. We did the same thing for Thomas. We’ve paid our TEs like we’ve had average starting TEs when in reality our starting TEs couldn’t have made most rosters. I’m tired of us paying starting salaries to guys who’d never start for any other team.

Kelce had maybe his worst year ever and was paid $20k per yard. We just paid Tremble $34k per yard. SMH. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. This is basically extending Ian Thomas all over again.
