No, just speculated.

I can't believe people are questioning receiving a draft pick for a guy that probably wouldn't have seen the field much if at all this season anyway.

 

this times a million.  our problem has been being tied emotionally to players.  i'm more interested in winning games.

This isn't an example of us getting away from it. You do that in offseasons and avoid paying them contracts they won't live up to....

[Mr. Scot]

I honestly think we could've gotten a little more out of this, even with the injuries.

Seriously doubt it.

Objectively speaking, Gettleman's NYG ties probably got us a better deal than others might have offered.

Love Beason, but you gotta realize the rest of the league doesn't view him through sentimental Panther fan eyes.

How?  I thought when trading players, the team receiving the player assumes the money.

 

 

 

I don't know, I don't know much about dead money.  I was just surprised it was that high, if that is correct.

But we run the risk of getting nothing in return.  I agree though, we should have traded him before the season.  But for all we know, no one wanted him then.

Dead money is money already paid to the player that has yet to count against the cap.

 

This happens when a player has a signing bonus. To help teams the cba allows them to spread the amount of the signing bonus evenly for up to 5 years against the cap instead of having it go against the cap all in 1 year. The player already has pocketed the signing bonus the day they sign the contract.(hence the dead money term).

[Mr. Scot]

Didn't happen, we didn't try.

And you can prove this...how, exactly?

You don't know anything about the process.

Sounds like Beason wanted the trade:

 

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 1m

Takeaway from Rivera's comments: Beason wanted to be a starter, asked for that opportunity in a professional manner. #Panthers accommodated.

a lot of people figured as much.

Contract details:

 

Beason agreed to a $4.25 million pay cut this year while also chopping off the last three years, but the deal allows him to reclaim $1.75 million if he's active for all 16 games. He'll earn up to $6.1 million this season.
