Mike Kaye: Shy Tuttle takes pay cut to stay on the team

[uncfan888]

3 mil is nothing. I'm good with that

[Shocker]

He was clearly put in a bad position last season.  He was being asked to be a lead guy with Brown out and that isn't who he is...not a bad move for 3m.  He will be much better as a BU rotation guy.

We need a backup at NT, this is a good move

He should not be playing NT. Centers move him way too easily.

He's good depth to have and at that price, no big deal. Love that we are loading up the dline

Yeah he is a backup DE at best

That's the only role he should play. He can take some of Derrick's 60 snaps a game.

All the sudden this d-line has some depth.

Smart decision on both sides:

if Panthers would have cut him they would have saved $3.25 million under the cap 

so instead they do this: Tuttle was set to make $6.5m in last year of his deal. He’s taken a pay cut to $3m, per league source. $500k in guaranteed money.

Cap savings while still keeping him on the team for depth. Very smart move

Damn that sucky ass Morgan.  Redoing a deal to get great value at a position of need.

He can still play nose tackle if needed and added some depth for DE.  I value his experience in this type of system and hopefully teaching Brown and who ever we probably end up drafting.  With his size, he's much more about technique than pure size.

[Panthero]

That's great but I would not hand that money back, ain't no way. I could retire today on 3 million.
