Please mock up both players, then send copies to DG and their agents. Both deals have my approval.

Star's is a little more complicated due to the 5th year option and the calculator I'm using being limited, but I'll see what I can do.

Here is how I would do Star's deal that would be done next offseason.

Not shown in the breakdown is the 5th year option we would pick up for 2017 will be around $8.5M. I took $7.5M of that and converted it to signing bonus to spread out the cap hits and added another $15M in signing bonus. That reduces his 2017 base salary to $1M but he would get $22.5M up front upon signing.

The totals for the deal are a 4 year extension for $41.5M($50M over 5 years) with a $22.5M signing bonus and $26.5M guaranteed.

Again, ignore the dead money on the right because that is calculated incorrectly

Star and Kawann would both be locked up through 2021

EDIT: Re-thinking it a bit here, I probably overbonused Star so if you want to imagine some of that signing bonus money being kicked into base salary and lowering the guaranteed money some that is probably more realistic. $22.5M signing bonus is way too much on a $50M deal. $15M is more likely. I'm not going to re-do the image because it was kind of a pain, but hopefully you get the idea.

Kawann's deal would look something like this. 5 year extension for $94.5 in new money($96M over 6 years) with a $30M signing bonus and $51M guaranteed. Ignore the dead money part because that isn't calculated correctly.

I would be a bit surprised if the money worked out like this.  You are extrapolating the $16m per season over the 5 new years and the 4th year of the rookie contract.  His new money would be $94.5m for 5 extra contract years, which would average out to $18.9m for those years.  At that amount you could just keep him on his rookie salary this year and then try to resign him next.

One of the advantages of negotiating a year early is the ability to use the last year of the current contract to help absorb some of the cap hit. 

                 Salary                    Bonus                         Workout                         Cap hit

2016      1,500,000               6,000,000                                                            7,500,000

2017      7,500,000               6,000,000                      500,000                        14,000,000        

2018      8,500,000               6,000,000                      500,000                        15,000,000

2019      9,500,000               6,000,000                      500,000                        16,000,000

2020     10,500,000              6,000,000                      500,000                        17,000,000

2021     11,500,000                                                    500,000                        12,000,000

Think of it as a 5yr/80m (16 per year)  deal that starts after the last year of his rookie contract(2016).  Actually I wouldn't expect the big drop in cap hit the last year of the contract.  They would probably have a second option bonus in there somewhere and/or a greater increase in the salary of the later years.

The total for six years would be $81.5m for an average of $13.6m. 

One year of rookie contract at $1.5m plus 5 more years at $16m. 

Personally I'm hoping we can sign him for 13-14 a year for 5 years.  Here is 5yr/65m extension.

                Salary                     Bonus                         Option Bonus                     Cap hit

2016      1,500,000               4,000,000                                                              5,500,000

2017      3,000,000               4,000,000                      2,000,000                       9,000,000        

2018      5,000,000               4,000,000                      2,000,000                       11,000,000

2019      7,000,000               4,000,000                      2,000,000                       13,000,000

2020      9,000,000               4,000,000                      2,000,000                       15,000,000

2021     11,000,000                                                    2,000,000                       13,000,000

 

This last example is probably wishful thinking.  Based on some of the other DT contracts out there I could easily see the 15-16m per year range for Short.

You're right that is how I extrapolated the money and it depends on the perspective of how you present it to what the actual value of the contract is. The agent is going to say $18.9M/year and the team is going to say $16M/year. That's just what I think his market is. You can easily argue he is the best young DT in the league and his agent surely will. That puts him in the Suh money category. Your first one is the contract I want him to sign. I just have low expectations for that. Look at what Marcell Dareus just got. Short will top that. If it's somewhere between what we've posted then I will be very happy with the deal.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      This was soooo spot on about everything from the board environment to the QB guru extremist terrible takes. I wish more people on this board would elevate their energy and knowledge so we could have a fun board again. Cheers to better Panther Fan Culture.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
