I don't know exactly how the option bonus non exercise fee works, but assuming we don't get a fee and it just works as a prorated signing bonus this is a pretty highly leveraged contract.

Cap hits:

2017: $3.4M

2018: $5.9M

2019: $11.9M

2020: $14.9M

2021: $15.4M

Significant dead money charges if cut before the 2019 season.

Cap hits are napkin math and this totals to $51.5M with another $2M in total pro bowl incentives($400k/per year) and likely $1M in total workout bonuses($200k/year). Add 0.2M per year for more accurate cap hits. I don't know where the other $1M is that makes it $55.5M total.

Edited: for some clarity.

  As the person who bitched the most about this signing, I will eat about 40% of the crow I said I would just because of the contract. Don't have nearly the issue with these terms. I look forward to Matt feeding me the rest in January.

Option bonuses aren't guaranteed, unless the player is on the roster. Being that his salary takes a big hike in the back end, I would assume the majority of the guaranteed money is paid in the first part of the contract. Those $10 million salaries aren't going to be guaranteed. 

Just from looking at these tweets, it looks fairly easy to get out of.

Gettleman is saying F it. If this deal doesn't work out I won't be here in 2020 anyway.

MUCH less of a risk than first thought. Panthers will only pay a lot if Kalil works out long term. Won't pay much if he doesn't. 

Depends on if that Option bonus is guaranteed. If not we can probably cut bait after this year with little downside. I'm assuming it is guaranteed because I don't see how to get to $25M guaranteed without it. $12M signing + $2M salary + $10M option = $24M. Maybe they factor in the injury guarantee and the option isn't but then that puts it at $21M in guarantees.

so if we cut him after that 2019 season we only pay 5mil in dead money and save the last 25mil of his contract.

not terrible

That's how I'm understanding it. Before then it would hurt, but after 3 years it's easy to get out of.

This contract makes a whole lot of sense if Carolina is looking for the future at LT in one of the next 2 drafts.  It buys them time and not have reach on a pick.  They can find and develop a guy.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
