Dickson makes it easy to sign Barnidge


MHS831

Recommended Posts

  •         Gary Barnidge signed a three year, $12.1 million contract extension with the Browns on December 11, 2015. Barnidge received a $3.25 million signing bonus

  •         Barnidge made approximately $1.5 m in 2016 (not including the signing bonus)

  •         So the Panthers can probably get Barnidge for $3m per year.

  •          Cutting TE Ed Dickson would create $2m in cap room.

  •         Cutting CAP would save $600k—as it appears now, he stands little chance of making the roster.

IF my assumption is correct and we sign Barnidge for $3m per season, we would upgrade the TE spot with a solid #2 veteran in his prime at a net cost of $500k per season.  If I am DG, I offer a $3m bonus and $2m per season for 3 seasons. That is a second bonus for GB and a base salary raise.

What about the SALARY CAP, you ask?:  (Note: This is not my area of expertise, but this is how i read it.  My expertise areas, should you ever need me, are toenail fungus and TV pop stars of 1970s sit coms)

  •          Based on this information, the Panthers are expected to have cap space of about $7m after the draft picks are signed http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/

    ·        
  •       DG usually keeps $4m or so for signing free agents during the season.

  • ·         We would like to keep some $ to roll over to sign some big contracts next season; we would probably like to add FS depth.

Barnidge shouldn't be the deciding factor on whether or not we actually make an effort that looks like we give a damn at upgrading the TE2 spot. This should be a top offseason priority but we've been treating it like it's inconsequential to this point, which I'm inclined to believe may be more of an indictment on Rivera with his penchant for being overly loyal to mediocre players.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
