Mike Wallace is over 250lbs. Glad we skipped.

Wait... the tweet you posted said “If” he weighs 250 not that he did. Or are you leaving out the fact he ended up failing to get the bonus as well?

Well either they put that there for a reason, or it's just a creative cap trick.

This time last year the Panthers were trotting out a 300 pound wide receiver so uh

Yeah someone read this wrong. He isn’t 250 lbs. he is listed at 200. The contract says he must be under. 250 lbs. to get the bonus. Basically it’s there So he can get an easy bonus because it’s very hard to gain 50 pounds in a offseason. Also bonuses count against the cap differently so it’s possible it was written in to help save cap room.

It seems weird for them to write in a conditional guarantee like that if there was no cause for concern. Is that common practice? Does CMC, Byrd, Munnerlyn, etc. likely have something similar written into their contracts?

I mean I get that there needs to be some incentive to keep these guys in shape during the off-season, but even so, 250 pounds seems like an awfully high bar for Mike Wallace. Plus, if this is common practice, why is Adam Schefter tweeting about it like it’s newsworthy?

It was specifically arranged to get him some extra cash that works around the cap. Basically something that was agreed upon only because the weight was so preposterously high

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
