Cotchery a panther

[TylerVagyler]

I think he meant the last 3 years of the Cotchery deal are voidable. Which would explain why others have been calling it a 2-year deal.

I hope in the contract talks that they highlighted that the number 89 was off limits

I don't think it should be retired until Smitty is retired.  Why retire the number of a guy on another team?

from rotowerld:

 

 

 

The deal includes a $2.25 million signing bonus, and pays Cotchery a total of $3.5 million in 2014. The final four years almost certainly exist for the sole reason of spreading out Cotchery's cap hit, which shows how truly dire Carolina's cap situation is. For the moment, Cotchery is Carolina's No. 1 receiver.

Looks like Panthers set up Cotchery deal like Harper's 5 years, but last 3 yrs voidable for cap purposes. $5M, incl a $2.25M signing bonus.

[uscgamecocks]

So $1.35mm of dead money when we cut him after two years. Cap hits of $1.7mm and $1.9mm in first two years.

Now that's how to do a contract!

Hard to find an available guy coming off a better season that can definitely make plays AND serve as a role model for the obviously young staff we will have in camp this year working out at WR.

 

Its a two bird-one stone move IMO.  

 

Guy made some sick catches last year, is a huge threat on he goal line despite his size, and is coming off a huge year overall.  He's athletic, mature, not a spotlight guy, still has some wheels and can take it to the house on practically every play based on last year.

 

He's been buried in some bad spots over a lot of his career but he broke out last year in the absence of Miller and Wallace.

 

I am pleased.  This is a quality move in a league where true quality at an affordable price is not so easy to acquire.

 

Keep it up Gett!!

Jerrico Cotchery five-year deal $8.015 million, $2.25M bonus, salaries $1.25M, $1.45M, $1M, $1M, $1.015M

not counting his $2.25M signing bonus, this is how much we are paying J-Co on top of the 10+ Vet Minimum wage:

2014 - $295K

2015 - $480K

2016 - $15K

2017 - zero

2018 - zero

[TheMaulClaw]

It's a sorry offseason when people are excited about this signing. I just hope we didn't pay above vet min.

A decent healthy receiver with 10 td grabs last year is going to run more then the minimum.

Cam can practice throwing him routes from a wheel chair.

 

I bet he can still throw 50 yard lazers!

Little known facts,

"Cotchery was born with six fingers on his left hand. He is the second youngest out of 13 children."

That's all, carry on.

[MCC]

He's an upgrade over Lafell, that's for sure. 

[gettlemanjack]

He's an upgrade over Lafell, that's for sure.
