Everyone has a value. 

 

Gett knows this. 

 

I love CJ but his value is not close to 20 mil, prob not even 15.  

 

10-12 sounds right. 

It's 20 million now because it was back loaded to poo, and he's been restructured a thousand times, which makes it worse.  His contract is 6 years/$76 million, which I think is a fair deal overall.  That is an average of 12.6/year.

Yeah I  realize that.  

 

I am talking in terms of this years cap hit.  Can use up that much on a single player that isn't an MVP candidate

Charles Johnson has the biggest cap hit on the Panthers roster this year at 20 million.

At first glance a restructure might be in order. But Johnson has already restructed twice in the past two seasons. Also, he is slated to be a UFA in 2017 so there isn't a whole lot of time left on his contract to play with in terms of restructure.

It seems like CJ is a good candidate for a contract extension. Although it seems like he should be older (to me at least), he is only 28 years old and has plenty left in the tank. Extending could lessen the cap hit this year and next year, turning his salary into a signing bonus and pro rating it over the life of the contract. Also it would make sure Charles is in a Panthers uniform for the next several seasons.

Thoughts?

 

I was thinking about making a thread on exactly this yesterday. Some of our contracts are just scary. Charles Johnson's cap number doubles to 20 million like you said. TD's cap number triples! I don't even understand why contracts would be structured like this. And Khalil's cap number rises substantially as well to almost 12 million.

 

Something has got to be done. We can't have 3 players cap number totaling 40 million when one of those isn't a franchise QB.

I think an extension would make sense.  You could covert his salaries for 2015 and 2016 into a signing bonus and he would get the money and our cap hit would be much less if we added 3 more years to the contract especially if the last one or 2 were voidable.  Things like roster bonuses are not typically guaranteed and would give us a ton of dead cap space unless we cut him in the next year or 2 which is unlikely. Gettleman likes the voidable years to spread out the cap hit  while limited the dead cap space money to just what was going to paid out in the voidable years if we cut him or he doesn't produce.

I really don't know what will be the best route with Chuck. He as some miles on him now even at his age. Can you really say with certainty that you get 3 to 4 more years of production fitting his salary? Does Gettlemen gamble and replace both CJ and Hardy with youth this season? Will be interesting to watch for sure.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
