I may be in the minority here but I feel like we should let the CJ contract play out. I don't know how confident I am in how many years he has left at a high level. We seem to be in fine cap position this year for what we plan to bring in and we seem to be in a good cap position for next year. So I do not really see the need to move on in his contract right now.

Sometimes it is best to just take your lumps rather than kick the can down the road.

You extend him so you lock him up for the rest of his career. He is still on this side of 30 and has shown to be durable and productive. You don't restructure and you don't sit pat when we need him for his ability and his,leadership. If you give him a 3 year extension you end up reducing his cap hit for this year and next and as long as the guarantee money is largely his salary for this year and next with a manageable signing bonus it is a win- win for both sides. With that said I have no idea what kind of money he is looking for as this point.

I disagree with this, let the contract play out instead of kicking the can down the road.  

 

I see both sides of the argument, but I disagree with 20M this year and 15M next, and then he's a FA in '17.  He's proven that he should remain a Panther, and a 2 or 3 year extension assures him of that.  Reduce his salary this year and next, and stretch it into a signing bonus that can be spread out over the next few years.  If we could free up 6-8M this year with CJ, our cap number looks solid.

 

CJ can be a rotational DE by the end of his contract.

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
