What might a Charles Johnson extension look like?

Charles Johnson is coming up on his last year of his contract. 

He is due to make...

Base Salary: $10,750,000

Workout Bonus: $250,000

Restructure Bonus: $4,020,000

For a total of $15,020,000

If the Panthers choose to release Johnson, they will save the $11 million but 4 million still will count against the cap. 

If they restructure him, convert his 11 million base into a signing bonus and prorate that over the term of the contract, they could free up cap space and keep the defensive captain on the squad. 

Johnson isn't 30 yet and can contribute a few more seasons. 

So an extension may look something like. 

3 years at 2 million a year base with a 12 million signing bonus. 

That would drop his cap hit in 2016 to 10 million (5 million savings). 

2017 would drop to 6 million cap hit. 

 

Is that something you would be comfortable with?

Question is will Big Money be comfortable with it. He might just say fug you, pay me $15 Million this year or cut me so I can go to the Bucs or Falcons and get a 3 year $35 million deal. $15 million guaranteed. 

After his poor performance this season, he won't be getting anything near that amount of money.

If he's going to play as poorly as he did this year (I know he was hurt and took some time to get back) then I wouldn't want him for the vet minimum. This D is very close to being elite, DE is one of the positions its lacking in explosiveness. Do you look at the cap, or the potential production? If it the former, you restructure, if the latter you cut bait and use that money elsewhere,

He was never an outsider on the team. The fans gave him a hard time, I think that is what you saw. 

Truth.  The guy went to away games on his own to support his guys.  Sure, he didn't play to the level we may have expected, but to say he was an outsider, or mentally gone, is just silly.

 

Just to add, CJ was getting a good amount of pressure in the playoffs, he just wasn't the one getting the sacks.  We give KK a lot of praise, and deservedly so, but without pressure from the ends in some of those cases, the QB wouldn't have been running into KK's loving arms.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
