Likelihood Jeff Otah is cut?

[Herbert The Love Bug]

he stays or he goes 1/2.

Ok so say Otah has a kick ass year, do the Panthers have the money for an elite tackle, and do you pay him elite tackle money?

because of injury history it comes incredibly incentive based and protected against injury.

panthers will have the money after this year, btw. lots of recent contracts are front loaded and the cap is going to rise by a lot in coming years because of the new TV deals.

Truth. We might be pressed against the cap this year, but the way all those big contracts were dished out will really help us out when our "window" is wide open.

Otah's injury history could open the door for a TD type contract if all goes well.

Not really a concern. I do, however, hope he plays to his full ability this year, cuz that man is a BEAST when healthy.

[Riverboat Ron]

I'm kind of hoping we keep him just because he's still on his rookie contract and when he is on the field, as rare as that is, he's a dominant RT. Guess we'll see Hurney's opinion of the guy in the next few days.

I kinda feel like this is his final year to get poo together or be gone. It's nice knowing Bell is a capable guy in case it doesn't work out.

Edit: Why does shi censor to poo? I mean really, what are we, 12 here?

You should actually type in poo and look at what happens then, its pretty cool.

EDIT: i really typed in sh*t above so as not to spoil the surprise

[Ivan The Awesome]

I hope he is. As big and as nasty as he can be, he doesn't do us much good on the bench. We could use some cap space.

He doesn't have much coming to him this year. So we won't save much by cutting him.

I say trade the fuger for a 3rd round pick.

[SOJA]

no way we cut him in his last year

[CLG]

pretty unlikely

[OneBadassCat]

I'd like us to move him inside to RG. Otah was once supposed to be our future LT but I just can't see it happening at this point. We'll need to invest in an OT here in the next year or so before Gross peaks.

[Argus Plexus]

Too cheap to cut since he still has a chance of being a stud for us. Keep him for another year and part ways if he doesn't perform.

I sure hope so, it'll take a lot to keep Otah and Jstew. I'm sure there will be some restructuring.

[Kyle82]

He sure was a force his rookie season....DAMN I hope he comes back to form in August!!

[Jim Harbaugh]

Contract year, he'll be tough and play well all year.

[beastson]

Won't be here next year I predict
