Good morning Panthers fans! Here's an article written by our Turron Davenport talking about how the Panthers can & should go about Newton's contract.

 

Enjoy!

 

Em

 

P.S.

 

My draft grades video for you guys will be coming within the next week

 

Cheers Em, how did your mock drafts hold up this year?

"That being said, Newton’s deal will likely come in around five years, $115 million with $55 million guaranteed."

 

Well written, except the Panthers were not 7-9 last year as stated.  We tied the Bengals.

 

I have been saying $22-23 million too, and I think that is what this will ultimately be.  I imagine the guaranteed money is the issue.

Doesn't the guaranteed money go immediately into escrow in full? My point is, I wonder if part of the reason these "talks" are going so slow (aside from no one really being in a hurry) is that they (the ownership) doesn't have x amount of cash on hand to put into escrow immediately? Perhaps the 2 sides are closer than everyone thinks and they are just waiting to get the guaranteed money together so they can execute the deal.

 

Or I could be completely wrong and JR et al do have that kind of cash lying around. But I'd be surprised if they keep $50-70 million in cash on hand. That would be stupid I would think. Anyways, just bringing up an element that I hadn't seen discussed anywhere.

You just raised this thing to a level of details that escapes my limited knowledge on the topic, but you make interesting points and I hope someone who knows can shed some light on this.

Cheers! Same as every year..hit/miss.  Cool part is that a lot of late round picks for teams I nailed.  And a good bit of the Film Session guys I featured ended up on rosters or got drafted!

 

Em called us drafting Funchess a long time ago.

 

I want to say it was in either my Midseason or January mock I thought he'd be a great fit for you guys.

Thanks! It tends to always come down to the guarantees 

 

Sounds about right. 20 mil a year is prob the best we can hope for now.

 

I think you and Moorgan are on the same page

Id be shocked if they didn't have the cash right now to put into escrow.

Guaranteed money only has to go into escrow if it is fully guaranteed. There are 3 types of guarantees and they are skill, injury, salary cap. Most of the time when guaranteed money is reported only a small portion is fully guaranteed(meaning it is guaranteed for all 3 reasons) and the majority is guaranteed for injury or skill and injury. That removes the need to put a large amount of money in escrow and is why the Suh deal was so unprecedented. Miami fully guaranteed him $60M.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄

      I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
