2015: These players if cut in the 2015 league year will currently net us huge sums of cap space and take their future cap numbers off the books. These are those contracts.

 

Charles Johnson saves the Panthers $8,580,000 in cap space in 2015 if released, he will also save them $12,420,000 in 2016.

 

Thomas Davis saves the Panthers $4,500,000 in 2015 if released. He has the 2016, '17, and '18 years voided on his contract.

 

Greg Olsen saves the Panthers $4,300,000 in 2015 if released. He has the 2016 and 2017 years voided on his contract.

 

DeAngelo Williams saves the Panthers $733,333 in 2015 if released. His following two season's are voided. He would likely be released after 2015 regardless.

 

We would save $18,113,333 in 2015 by cutting all these players. Which then could be used to sign them to even more team friendly deals. I doubt Olsen gets cut however. His production matches his pay.

 

2016: Only two players would currently be in danger of being cut for financial reasons in 2016.

 

Ryan Kalil saves the Panthers $4,392,000 in 2016 if released. His following two seasons are already voided.

 

Jonathan Stewart saves the Panthers $2,250,000 in 2016 if released, he would likely be a June 1st cut. He will also save the Panthers $8,250,000 in 2017 if cut, obviously if he is designated as a June 1st cut, that number would shrink.


I used cross references from http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/ and Salary Cap Calculator - Over the Cap.

 

With Gentleman's conservative GM style, how do you guys feel these players will fair in regards to their future with the team? There is hope for renegotiations with some players like Greg Olsen and Ryan Kalil. There is a giant question mark hovering over Charles Johnson. We also all can't wait to be done with J. Stew and DeAngelo's contracts.

Lets get through this offseason first

 

Oh cool, lets get back to D-Jax and Gettlemania threads.

 

EDIT: This also deals with weather this is the last season for a lot of these players in a Carolina Panther uniform. I made this thread after realizing this might be the last season we see T. Davis here.

I think if Hardy gets signed long term CJ might be gone. Olsen always produces. Williams produces still.

Stewart I wouldn't miss. It's like he's already gone just taking up money.

I would really miss Kalil. I've seen him make some great plays. One that sticks out, Newton threw an interception he tosses the DL out of the way and bear hugs the CB to the ground.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
