Lol if you think it's just as easy to find something kicker off the street.

We've been spoiled by Kasy too long.

Gano isn't the best, but it's better to pay him than end up with another Medlock.

Probably could have found a decent one in the draft.

I mean, we did last year.

Gano isn't the best....but by god let's pay him that way.

Holy poo, that is a lot for a kicker.  

The top kicker contracts in the league, 
Gostkowski (4.3 mil per year)
Tucker (4.2 mil per year)
Crosby (4.025 mil per year)
Succop (4 mil per year)

If we just paid Gano 5.5 mil per year, he is BY FAR the highest paid kicker in the league!!!

Math error, nevermind.

Someone earlier asked for some context, here you go.  Highlighted a couple of the kickers I noticed mentioned in this thread.  Keep in mind, this is an "all time" list of kickers sorted on career FG make %.

I too am often excited when the Carolina Panthers make stupid salary cap decisions, and pay their players at the very tip top of said players range.

I used to brag to my friends all the time about us having two of the highest paid RB's in the league on the same team.  Also really rubbed it in their faces when we gave Jake a contract that made no sense.

 

Oh, I forgot about the James Anderson and Jon Beason contracts.  Gosh, glad we are back to the good ole days when I can brag about highly paid JR keeps his guys.

Wow. Who is talking about a decade ago. Can we keep the discussion to the topic instead of going down bunny trails. This contract with Gano was a good one. Why not go back to the Rae Carruth contract while you are bringing up everything but the kitchen sink looking for something to complain about.

Yes,  but what you're leaving is out is that on average Kasay kicked longer field goals than most,  and the amount was more than double what Graham Gano has kicked.

  Honestly. Can you show me a time where you DIDNT think whatever move was made was a good idea? Just one. Blind faith in every move the FO ever makes is unrealistic.

It's a fuging joke about you guys who love making our players "the highest paid in the league" like that's some cool thing to do or something.

Making an average kicker the highest or second highest paid K in the league is stupid no matter which way you turn it....even more stupid...letting go of a much cheaper option just under a year ago that was under contract.

Gano is the highest paid kicker in the league.  Let that sink in for a minute.

I think he was already within the top 5 from the previous contract. His cap hit certainly was. He bet on himself and we didn't give him enough of a challenge in camp last year.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
