Restructuring would only effect this year, and then release in 2022!

I know where your coming from on your gif image. I'm just saying the team has options to free up more cap savings if (Fitt, Rhule, and Tepper decides to try that option) on these players. But restructuring Shaq contract would save more cap space than if you released or traded him pre-June 1st (cap savings $4,580,000; dead money: $9,600,000). If released or traded post-June 1st would have cap savings of $4,563,333 (cap savings:$10,980,000; dead money:3,200,000) more than restructuring his contract (cap savings:6,326,667; dead money: $0). 

I think CMC will return back to his old form of 2019 in 2021. As of January 4th it is not expected that CMC will need surgery on any of his injuries. CMC's AC Shoulder Separation is a lower grade injury that doesn't require surgery approx. 90% of the time

IMO If the team ends up keeping Bridgewater which could be a little handy when bringing in a rookie QB, and also keep Shaq for at least another year. You could restructure both of there 2021 contacts to free up cap savings!

*Bridgewater estimated cap savings: $8.1M

*Shaq estimated cap savings: $6.3M

*Total cap savings for these 2 players in 2021: Around $14,414,167 if restructured

*Figures based off overthecap.com

it's a lot easier to replace a star RB than finding a franchise QB

CMC isn't just a star running back. He's a versatile player which would be harder to replace. 1 of 3 players in nfl history to record 1000 receiving 1000 running, so the only rb's that could IMO replace him is the other 2 rb on that list.

If it got us Watson yea .. seems cheaper to trade up to 2 or 3 ... I like Zack Wilson....... but either way seems like the FO are doing their due diligence and understand your ain’t winning anything without a QB ... 

I'd love if we'd be able to get Zach, or even Justin Fields 

IMO I'd rather keep Shaq Thompson, but if he could be used to get QB Deshaun Watson maybe we could put him on the trading block. Only if the Houston Texans decide to put Watson on the trading block!

Max Comp for the trade:

2021: 1st Round Pick & Bridgewater & Shaq

2022: 1st Round & 5th Round Pick

2023: Rather not give anymore capital for the trade for Watson, but if have to probably no more than a 6th Round Pick

This is just my opinion because I'd probably want to keep Shaq until next year!

I would be totally okay with that !!!! If we can make it happen !!!!

IMO:

2021: (1st) Round and (3rd) Round;

QB Teddy Bridewater

2022: (1st) Round and (4th) Round

2023: (4th) or (5th) Round

What is your max offer to Houston for Watson?

I'm just throwing something out to the question it's just my opinion which doesn't mean much. Max: 2021 first round and a middle round pick; 2022 first and mid round; 2023 mid round.

Nothing yet. Josh Klein does pretty well at watching that sort of thing, though.

Thinks for giving me the information to keep Josh Klein I'll be keeping a closer look at his post. TY

Has anyone heard anything new about Carolina Panthers front office hires? Looks like they have somewhere between 5-7 openings in their front office to be filled!

IMO I would try to trade for Gardner Minshew, try to do something with Bridgewater (like trade him for picks or a player that plays a different position), keep PJ Walker as a backup, release Will Grier, and then try to draft Kellen Mond in like the 3rd round (Coach Rhule sounds to be high on him after coaching him in the senior bowl).

IMO I'd try to trade for Minshew, draft best candidate at #8 or trade back from #8 to pick up more capital, and draft kellen mond in 3rd round because coach rhule is high on mond! I would sure try to get one of the top QB's, but a small fear to give up so much capital than the QB bombs.

Is anyone hearing anything about filling the roles that is open right now?

Bryan Porter- Dir. of Football Operations   (?)

Mark Carrier- Exec. Dir. of Football Staff   (?)

Meredith Starky- Chief Marketing Officer  (?)

Paul McGoohan- VP of Business Development     (?)

Chief Revenue Officer    (?)

Asst General Manager    (?)  *

*IMO Dan Morgan- DOPP for Buffalo Bills. *

*He has a connection to Carolina as a player and worked with Scott Fitterer at Seattle!*

IMO If we could pick up Gardner Minshew, and then try to draft Kellen Mond in the draft because Coach Rhule really liked him in the Senior Bowl. Other needs the team has to pick up before the season begins for sure: TE, OL, LB, CB, and another DL and WR! #KEEPPOUNDING 

To obtain the  3rd overall pick from the Dolphins; the Panthers would have to send the 8th overall pick, mid round pick, and I figure either Bridgewater (which I don't mind) or another veteran player!

IMO If the team misses out on the top 4 QB's the team should draft QB Kellen Mond around 3rd Round! A least it looks like someone may draft him before or early in the 3rd round then I'd say they move back up in the 2nd Round to get Mond because he showed his worth in the Senior Bowl!

...down home dumb...

I whole hearty agree!

I know I made a comment earlier about only a max of (3) 1st round picks for Watson. But IMO after thinking it over you can't give up that much draft capital, and take on Watson's contract with minimum cap space. Sure everyone would like a win now franchise QB, but there is no promise he'd be the QB that he is right now for the Texan. You have to consider everything before ever getting involved in one of the biggest decisions that would effect the team for years to come!

This is just my opinion. I wouldn't give up more than (3) 1st Round Picks, a mid round pick, and if your trading a player for Watson I'd rather it be Brian Burns or another player then CMC! Every time needs a great QB, but also needs a great RB to take some of the pressure off the QB!

The team would be crazy to give up so much capital for DeShaun Watson. He isn't worth CMC, Burns, or DJ! IMO The most that any team should give up for Watson is maybe 2021 Round 1, 2021 maybe 4th or 5th round, 2022 1st Round, and maybe a pick maybe 4th or 5th round! Because whoever signs him is facing a huge salary and dead cap!

I'd love to see this go down making Dan Morgan panthers assistant GM! This would make the front office more of a threat in a way, and this includes coach rhule working with this group of the front office. It would be like a 3 headed monster IMO!

I'd love to see Morgan here,

I'd love to see Dan Morgan join the personal department as a Assistant General Manager or some capacity! Especially since Scott and Dan has a past of working together in a personal capacity! With Scott, Dan, and Matt Rhule working together its my opinion that it would be a good group come the draft along with all the scouts and personal!
