Ok CAP experts let me know if this is good or bad. 

not bad at all. The remaining 2.5m is likely guaranteed salary in first two years of the deal, depending on how the base salary is structured it could all be in 2019. Hard to know about the incentives if they are considered ltbe or not but the make up of the deal is nice for both sides. Panthers are likely to be able to get out from the deal after the first season and save cap room if he bombs this season but he's likely here for two seasons at least.

To me, this signing says that the team doesnt know how the Gaulden pick will pan out. Reid's contract is set to expire when Gaulden's does. Maybe they are hoping that he develops under Reid?

Reid>>>>Gaulden.  Without Reid in place we'd need to find somebody in FA or the draft.  Reid is a former first round pick who did ok last year... starting late.  Considering how bad the safety market was last year, I'd say we paid a premium to keep Reid.  He did earn his pay last year.   Hopefully he'll step up and do it again.  I'm not against the signing.  I think the price was high.

Nice, as I was trying to point out last night in a flu medicine and fever induced stupor, his signing bonus does not make up the entirety of his guarantees. The remainder is likely guaranteed salary during the first year. This means his dead money ( if a cut needs to be made for any reason )  after year one is relatively negligible - somewhere around 5 million.

Trying to point out what was already known. Which was made clear in the first responses to you. You just chose to ignore them.

He also didn't have training camp with the team and started in week 4 in a defensive scheme that got its coach demoted. Let's see what he can do with an off-season.

THIS.  So funny that they think anyone could come into a situation like that and be an ALL PRO.  Everyone on our defense was terrible the first 3/4th of the season ( probably generally because of coordinator and scheme...hell, even Luke looked pretty bad at times ).  I feel that any other person may have been given a pass but because Reid was apart of this "Kneeling for the national anthem" thingy...well, he got a lot harsher critics.  Really looking forward to seeing what this guy can do with an offseason and having RR call the defensive plays.

Hard to compare Reid's contract with other safeties who signed their contracts in previous years.  Market is always changing.  Just look at all the WR that get paid more than Julio.  I do think this is a very very slight overpay, but I'm confident he will earn it.

True.  I'm sure a few will sign over the next year or two that will be more, but also you might a few get cut that were scheduled to make more.  Don't get me wrong, I would expect his average salary to move down the list but I don't see it moving much.

I would guess in a year or so he is still one of the top 15 highest paid.

Not two years. I’d bet his first year base is 2.5m. With 7.5m bonus, his salary will be 14m over 3 years. I’d bet something like 2.5m, 5m and 6.5m. Guaranteed money is done year 1 and then due to deal cap of 5m, he’s likely to see year 2 unless he’s sucks so bad or becomes a problem (not saying that’s likely). Basically, it becomes a 2 year $15m deal and then a bigger decision to keep in year 3. Cap hit should be small year 1 (around 5m) but get bigger each year. All this ignores incentives. 

Maybe but the could if they wanted put some guaranteed salary in the second year. They could do something like 1m, 6m, and 9m (including incentives) and make $1.5m of the second year guaranteed.

Per source, Eric Reid's new 3-year contract with the Panthers includes $9M fully guaranteed at signing, all paid out this year, plus $1M in injury guarantees for 2020. Full value of the deal if realized would be $22M over three years plus incentives, but no guarantee beyond 2019.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
