Not a bad deal at all. Trai's a young cat, and will more than likely continue to get better. He'll probably see all 45 million and have the opportunity to see even more money when he turns 28. Happy for both him and the panthers!

Seems like a good deal for everyone involved.

Congrats TT!

Gotta see the structure.  Hopefully it's very front loaded, and since DG did all of the framework, it likely will be....but that weirdo is in the building now.

Does anyone wonder if this deal would have happened today if DG was still our GM?

It doesn't sound like a bad deal for us.. but when you think about how quickly this happened after Hurney was brought in, it makes you think..

Is this a glimpse of the past, where Hurney is not tough enough in negotiations?  I remember when he gave charles johnson his big deal, there was basically no back and forth.  We pretty much blew him away with our first offer and he took it... something DG would never do.

Would DG have waited longer and tried to squeeze Trai's head as much as possible?  Should there be any concern that Hurney may not have done this?

I think it's safe to say that Hurney had very little to do with this.

Yeah, but that doesn't answer my question.  Very little doesn't mean nothing at all.. Would it have gotten done this soon if DG was still our GM?

If we waited longer keeping Trai would be more costly. 2017 could be his best season.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
