Some of that Kalil $ could have gone toward keeping Norwell

[top dawg]

Oh,  I miscalculated the weak wrath of the Gettleman, sloth-like nut huggers. My bad!

Matt's contract, if I am not mistaken, has an escape clause after this year.  I would assume that Ryan Kalil/Thomas Davis/and

Trading Benjamin prevented a big contract that would have been tough to re-sign Norwell, but if you consider the big contracts rolling off in 2018, there is room.

Start here (if you don't know about this already): https://overthecap.com/calculator/carolina-panthers/

You have to get creative.  First, take a look at the possible releases and savings (If I am reading the info on the website correctly--assuming this info is correct, but this does not seem right--please correct the info if you know more):

Stewart $5,218,750 (we are drafting a "between the tackles" RB-Stew did not have $5m in productivity and is on the wrong side of 30)

Munnerlyn $ $3,937,500  (Benjamin was the last player to have a disagreement with coaches---I doubt they think more of Capt.  Besides, Corn can do the job)

Sheperd $3,525,000  (Terrible contract.  Cut losses)

Whittaker $1,150,000 (With CMC, an undrafted free agent could give us as much at half the cost)

Adams $2,425,000  (he intercepted a long pass on fourth down that cost us 20 yards of field position.  39 year old players should know better)

THIS TOTALS $20m. 

 

 

 

Add in Dickson.

I think it was something DG had to do. He had to address the position and market dictates a players value, often inspite of skill. That said Kalil isn’t Byron Bell bad he’s just not great. So while he massively overpaid I do understand it.

hindsight he should have gone with Whitworth obviously but pessimists going to pessimist!

The market did not dictate that.  It just didn't.  That's tired Huddle rationalization.

Why do y'all think that basically the entire NFL raised an eyebrow when the contract was announced?  What in the world?

Some of you dudes have stockholm syndrome.

DG could sell you a sh*t sandwich, and you would gladly gobble it up.

Pathetic.

[Cary Kollins]

Its ok. We can let Star go and have money for Norwell.

Who is it that keeps starting Gettleman threads?

We get it, Dawg.  You hate Gettleman.  We all get it.  Give it a rest. There are far more important things to talk about.

I think maybe you quoted the wrong poster.

Riley Reiff was an infinitely better prospect.  I could have stomached losing  Norwell for him.

Nope.  I just addressed Dawg while quoting you.

You're talking about people having "Stockholm syndrome" when nobody starts Gettleman threads but the haters. Hell, you take every opportunity you possibly can to bring his name up.  It's like you're obsessed.

So who's stuck in the past again?
