I saw a couple of interesting tweets.  Just wondering who this is, and if they have any credibility at all.

 

From Panthers Source- offseason about helping Cam. We're out of cap purgatory & can spend. We like Remmers, but will sign starting tackle

 

Kids- I know ya'll 'Question' my sources... Panthers prepared to extend Luke Kuechly- 8 Yrs 75M before Cam Newton. Luke drafted yr after Cam

Extending Luke before Cam is no knock against Cam, but the media will spin it that way. Luke is an ELITE MLB in the league. Possibly #1 overall. Cam is an above average QB at this point, but he is our future and we all, Gettleman included, have all the confidence in the world in him. The thing with Cam is he's a QB and will demand a contract that is roughly 30-40 Million MORE than the highest contract an MLB will ever get. 

 

It makes sense to lock Luke up first because it could very well be the cheaper option.

Maybe Cam will sign for 8 years 115 million :thumbsu:

I think its a great idea to sign luke first to give an idea of what the cap space will look like with both of them. We have to keep this core, we can let go of a few but the stars literally have to be retained to continue the dominance in the division. If we can get luke and cam for around 150 between the two that would be great.

You may wanna wrap your head around the fact that it'll be closer to 200+ for both of them than 150

8 years $75MM would be a great signing. Luke is what maybe 23 or so?

Basically makes him a Panther forever but could be structured at maybe:

6

7

8

9

10

11

12

13

By the time he counts over ten mil. against the cap it will have gone up a bit I'd bet, and at no point is his number so big that you ever have to have the cap casualty conversation. Maybe $40 of it guaranteed?

I know that would never happen and if he got hurt (Beason) then you'd be fuged, but it's fun to explore the idea.

The best MLB in the league for an average of 9M per year for almost a decade? That's not bad. And like you pointed out, maybe a little over half is guaranteed. I am so ok with this.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
