I will say, we don't know the exact terms of the contract last season.  Let's say for easy math it's $7 million a year.

2015 $7 million + 2016: $7 Million = $14 million, plus the next two years ($14 million) = $14 million / $28 Million in 2018

2015: $1.5 million + 2016: $14 million = $15.5 million (Plus nothing guaranteed past this season)

So he kind of broke even these past two years, I'm using easy numbers because I'm an idiot.  I just realized though the guaranteed money in a contract basically comes up front (or most of it).  So yes, in two years, he's lost a bit (from the signing bonus), BUT he stands to make so much more money as time goes on should he play at a high level and remain healthy.

He traded a smaller guaranteed amount for a possible huge pay increase.  You can't blame him.  If he does have a great, healthy year (assuming he doesn't sign a long term deal before July 15), his value only increases.

Josh should take what he can get, use the time to try to get something done, but he also has to realize that his chance at big money will be here compared to life as a 29 year old FA CB.

I'll agree with that. The safest move for him is to take the biggest contract on the table on 7/15 to maximize his earnings. He will have won his gamble by playing out the final year of his deal and not risk being a 29 year old FA CB. He would give up a little bit in potential earnings like $5M total if he continues to be a stud for the next two years, but that is much better than $15M+ he could have missed out on by taking the deal last year.

IMO, no one is trading for Josh.  Two first rounders is only worth trading if you believe the player you're getting is a once in a generation-type player.

Josh is possibly the best corner in the game, if not, at least top 3.  That being said, i also think there's a good deal of skepticism league-wide because he has only been a league-wide sensation for one season.  I also think while he is talented enough to impact a game, regardless of the system he plays in, he excels in our system especially.  All those factors combined, allowing other teams to possibly make offers on him, OR NOT, will open his eyes a bit.  I don't blame him at all for wanting the money, but with limited cap space, no team is going to pay him "best CB in the league" money, and that will bring his agent's demands back down to earth.

I'm expecting it may take awhile, but a long-term deal will get done.

I really hope someone is dumb enough to give up just 1 first rounder and. 2nd. While I think Josh is good he can go ahead and leave and play for a turd of a team. I've said all year he was full of poo when he said anything about wanting to be here. He only wants to be here if he is the highest paid CB in the league and he ain't worth that. Peace out bro.

Now that we got this piece of business out of the way, we can focus o re-signing other guys.

He's the number one priority and the team is still in talks to sign him long term. While I imagine other deals will get done before Josh get's a long term deal, that deal is still a top priority for this off season for the Panthers.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
