No. Signing bonus doesn't count against the cap.

A portion of it does, though to what degree/amount is variable per year upon the structure of the contract. The signing bonus is just paid out up front and its entire balance prorated against the cap over the life of the contract.

the fact that he wasn't signed up until DG's firing and we're only a week away from training camp shows Hurney had a lot to do with it. You don't hear of many signings this late in the off season aside from rookie contracts

Voth confirmed it was Gettleman who set this up.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

When the contract was negotiated before he got here, it says nothing at all.

The point why I was asking was Davis, Olsen and Turner was going to get extended. Do you think DG would extend Turner first before Davis and Olsen?

Given that he's the one who negotiated this deal, I'd have to say the answer to that is obvious.

Well Voth reported that Davis and Turner's deals were pretty much laid out...so we were actively working on those two and they'd have been announced regardless of who the GM is.

I'm unsure that we were even engaged/working with Olsen...and that may be the biggest reason that DG is no longer here.

      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.
