Cam's deal clears 1.6 million in 2015 cap

Where do you find all the details per year, and guaranteed, etc.? I think that $30M or whatever it is will be in 2016 right? Trying to figure this out but kind find the structure information.

I'm guessing 2016 and 2017 will be big cap hit numbers but not so big we won't sign Luke. But Norman might be iffy. But if it goes down after that we are in good position to sign other significant guys. Add in drafting well and it looks like dominance for the next 5 years and beyond.

nippleshorts is a clever fella

​Especially when you consider that the year when Cam accounts for the biggest cap hit, 2016, is also the year we'll be keeping a relatively cheap Kuechly on his 5th year option. That structure sets up nicely for paying Cam and Luke without getting into salary cap hell.

​If they're smart they're trying to re-sign Norman now.  He is primed for a career year and even a 2 year extension for him would be wise.  Even after Newton's extension the Panthers will still have north of $40 million in cap space in 2016 (none of which will count towards a new Kuechly contract since the Panthers used the fifth year option tag on him), and in 2017 when Charles Johnson and Jonathan Stewart both come off the books (and I doubt either are with the team past 2017), the Panthers currently have over $100 million in cap space in 2017.  You read that right....Panthers are in GREAT financial shape in the coming seasons.  Gettleman did an AMAZING job.  He knew he had to clear money for Cam and he did.

I agree but we also won't have many guys signed either. I think I saw somewhere earlier this yr that, under current contracts, we will have like 25 guys signed in 2017. So we still have a lot of players to sign. But I agree with you and I think signing Norman now would be a good idea. And Cam's contract while huge just might be team friendly in future signing perspective.

2017 is gonna be a doozy:

C. Johnson, Kalil, Luke, Star, KKShort, Ginn, Philly Brown all due then. Plus some others.

 

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/

Kawann's contract is a 4 year contract, Star's is 4 with the team option.

KK will have to be taken care of before Star, actually.  Unless we choose not to use the 5th year option, which would be crazy.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
