Only 2mm difference in cap hit and dead cap. This bed was made a while ago. Given our team composition, I'd argue it's really not a tough pill to swallow. We don't have any stars. This was a Charlotte Hornets deal from the get go. I'm just thankful he's been as productive as he has. Maybe he'll fall off a cliff this year. Or maybe one or more of the young WRs will break out in the season. But as of right now, he's our best WR because he consistently gets open and catches the ball.

Now everybody's gonna be like "Wait, why didn't I get a fully guaranteed contract??"

I mean, Funchess, LaFell, etc would all be our best WR on the roster too going into this season if you could teleport them from the past. coming off an injured year, debating retirement, already being ideally a rotation piece in a legit scenario......that price tag is still tough to swallow but on paper we 100% need him. In reality, for those that can see the future......we all know Hunter Renfrow is about to be America's favorite comeback story.

Don't think about this season as much as the future. I don't think anyone really expects much out of the Panthers this season in terms of contending for anything consequential. Veteran mentorship is important and we've invested a lot of draft capital into our young WRs. Yeah, coaches are important but peer level mentorship can be equally if not more important. Virtually everyone has benefitted from that veteran person at work talking them under their wing and showing them the ropes at some point in their careers. It's different when it's coming from a peer vs. someone you have to report to.

Let him go back to A&M with his buddy. We should not allow the stupidity of Houston and Cleveland dictate our actions. Whoever started the thread about the stupidity of Houston when it first occurred was spot on. My favorite part about all of this: LOL. The old duded who plays a position of the highest bust rate wants guaranteed money????????

People have been announcing the death of Adam Thielen for 5 years now. He was done when we signed him, and last year his yards per game had him on pace for an even better season than 2023. He's still the best WR we have until proven otherwise.

He is here for Bryce's comfort and development. When a guy gels with your main asset, his price goes up.

I just don't view Thielen as that consequential to our season. Absolutely if Canales is the QB guru he has been hyped to be he should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time by developing more than one QB. At the end of the day the Dalton contract is for our starting QB's comfort level whether we like it or not. Let's just hope our #1 pick makes us all forget about these little things with at least a fringe elite season.

We have about $21M in cap space dedicated to WR this year. There are 8 individual WRs with higher cap hits than that by themselves. *Oops, that didn't include T-Mac. Make that $26M. There's still two guys over that number with four more right at it.

Meh, I'm fine with it. Anything you're doing this time of year is about trying to create some competition in camp and maybe have a shot at improving the bottom of your roster.

And AT absolutely fuging leveraged that into a few more million dollars and hell credit to him for doing that cannot blame him a bit. He took advantage of his situation and everyone on here would do they same

The AT deal (ext) I can kindof wrap my head around. Kindof. But the dalton deal is fuging bananas for numerous reasons. The main couple is that he was completely shot last year and his arm is fuging done and secondly if Canalas is this wonder coach of qbs why in the hell wouldnt we be utilizing that and bringing in other young talent whether is a rookie or young vet to try and turn them around while canalas is here?

He's absolutely necessary though. With nothing but inexperienced unproven youth outside of him we need that veteran presence on the unit both on and off the field. Overall, I bet we have one of the cheapest receiver units in the league because outside of Thielen at WR and Tremble at TE virtually everyone else is on rookie contracts.

Should be simple negotiating…. You want more guaranteed you get less overall money. Unfortunately the market has been set by one franchise that wanted to upend the entire system. Now pivot and react and move forward.

https://omny.fm/shows/the-mac-attack-podcast/mac-bone-hour-4-jake-crain-warren-sharp starts at 18 minutes in, sharp drops some stats that stun mac and bone In his last 4 games he had the easiest passing schedule in the NFL. For the year Bryce was Ranked 41 out of 46 qualified qbs in accuracy, 30th in epa, 37th ypa, 39th success rate. Bryce in 28 starts has only lead at halftime 5 times. Not sure what cherry picking 3 games is going to accomplish.

With the positive press the team has been getting I've forgotten we are paying AT $9 million for the one season. That's fuging insanity. And in 2023 when he eclipsed 1k yards we had the worst passing offense in the league lmao. Then we're paying Dalton $8 million hoping we never have to watch him throw a football again under any circumstances. Yeah let's hope these young guys are ready to elevate the team so we don't have to think about these issues.

I'm not surprised that he questioned retirement at points last year. The team looked hopeless early on and he suffered a pretty severe hamstring injury.

Maybe he can be a Panthers' coach one day. Charlotte's not that bad of a city to live comparatively. Of course he has a home in Orlando as well, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him settle down in The Queen City.

I am sure the 9 million he is making had little to no effect as well

AT had 6 million reasons to play as many of the 17 games as he can. our 2025 Ricky Prohel is a bit expensive.

Due diligence is good but we've been turning over stones in the XFL (merged with UFL) for years. Odds are extremely low this will end up going anywhere. Any news this time of year will move the needle though.

No knock taken. Just explaining. I've seen so-called articles with Panther in the title, and that's the only Panther-related thing about the article. Seriously, indexing in order to mix and match names, as well as AI is getting out of hand. But, what are we gonna do? That's the world we live in.

Money talks.

He came back for 1 million dollars. I think the Panthers knew they were going young and wanted him as a mentor.

Wasn’t knocking you at all and I appreciate seeing panthers related content. Media pundits. I guess they have to write about something as camps approach
