Yes but I bet we restructure his contract, along with several other players'.

How? There are no future years to push money into and he's already said he's retiring after this year. If we alter his contract it's going to have to be a straight up pay cut.

Read that tere's a bonus in Kalil's contract that makes the cap savings for cutting him a few million lower if he's not cut by sometime tomorrow.

With all that's happened to date, is Ryan still safe?

Now with Poe, I'm really thinking there is going to be some corresponding moves.  We don't know if the Mathieu and Crabtree rumors are legit, but even of they aren't, we know we've shown interest in TE and RB (Willson and Rawls), so they have to clear room if they plan on addressing any or all of those I would think.  

I'm just about 100% certain Shepard is gone regardless.

Honestly after Poe, we might just be done. If they finally announce Shepherd gets designated, then so be it that will help. But good god as much as i like the safeties in the draft, i don't want to go into this draft having to depend on a position.

Panthers could convert all but $1.015M of Ryan Kalil $4.5M base salary into signing bonus along with his $1.5M 3rd day of league year roster bonus while adding 4 dummy/voidable years to create $3.988M of cap room. There would be $3.988M of dead money in 2019 when Kalil retires.

 

Will hurt us in the long run but easy to clear space for this season.

I think we're going to add a veteran safety but I think it'll be a typical Panthers fashion bargain basement safety. Like it or not, that's just been the Panthers' philosophy at the safety positions for most of the franchise's history and especially during the Rivera era. Build a strong front seven and try to piece together a secondary on the back end, especially at safety.

Just cut him, Larsen will play more games than RK even if he still on the roster when 2018 kicks off.

Ryan would be crazy to go for that. Once he retires, the Panthers could come after him for that remaining unearned bonus money. I don't think Hurney would if that's the agreement they made, but there's no guarantee that Hurney will still be the GM.

I bet we do add more at safety in FA but I'm damn certain we take one this year in the first 2 days of the draft, very possibly day 1.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
