Terms of the contract weren't immediately available, but it was expected to make Graham the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. ESPN reported the deal was for four years and $40 million with $21 million guaranteed. However the full numbers aren't available, and those will provide a more complete picture of how it's structured.

This is great news for the Panthers. Between this contract, the one they gave the mole, and how they somehow were able to sign Byrd this off season, they are going to be in cap hell for a while. 

 

Years down the road, while we're inking guys like Lotulelei, Kuechly and Benjamin to long term deals, the Aints might have to let guys like Cam Jordan, Vacarro and Stills walk. I look at this as another step towards those swamp rats becoming the bottom dwellers of the South they once were.

Hey tubby, if you don't see the freight train coming 2-4 years down the road then may I suggest you lose your damn Jupiter-sized gut blocking your vision cuz the lights are blinding and horn is roaring at you to move out damn way, fatboii.

 

He'll be rooting for a different team by that point anyway.

Workable I suppose, but I'd hate to have that number.

Considering that will be over the cap by at least 12 million, doesn't count the rookies still to be signed and no free agents next year, it is way over the pale.  We admit we are in cap hell and only have 127 million committed to the cap next year.

Saints fans denied bountygate was an issue until it blew up in their face, why would they be realistic about their cap situation?  Their biggest issue has been that haven't really drafted that well and have to rely on free agency to get their players which costs too much to keep doing year after year.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
