The point many of us are making is that if he could be cut, which implies he's not worth his cap hit, then he should be cut.

It's better for the player, and it's better for the team.  But whatever.

The reason so many are freaking out about this move/non move, is we know who we have at GM and HC for this team.  Ron is known with sticking with vets far too long, and Hurney is known for making absurdly bad cap moves throughout his time here.

The point, many of us know there is a very high chance that Torrey is on the opening day roster at the 5M price tag...and man, that smells terrible.

Wait until Thursday if you think this is bad.

Hurney had a pretty aggressive year last year, pressure of staying around and all that. 

I’m reserving judgement until after FA and the draft.

but yeh, we will see, could get real ugly.

I’m talking about MK. If he’s on this team Friday. I’m done. Not watching a quitter get another 7M for no reason. FA is going to be a disaster anyhow. We have done everything wrong so far.

Committing to Smith was smart...we have until sept to commit...when he was healthy he was a good contributor 

Sure. Make Torrey a leader, carry him until camp is over, then screw him. I’m sure that WR room will love that. That should work out.

The GM knows, unlike you, that he can be cut at any time to obtain that 5 million.  It's about flexibility.

Why am I surprised that despite a giant topic about this situation that nobody looked at the situation?

Guess what unlike you I know they won't be cutting Smith because we like being mediocre.That's why I never even mention that because I guess I was already ahead of you?

Yeh it’s proven there’s no plausible reason cap or otherwise to keep him on the team. I’m not done after that but there definitely needs to be a statewide push to get these weirdos out of Carolina.

No, it wasn't.

Replacing his value can be done with a player on a vet minimum contract.

He started 6 games, played in 11, had 17 catches for 190 yards.

Brenton Bersin in 17 started 1 game, played in 8, and had 128 yards.

Bersin counted 4.7M less against the cap than Torrey did.

He's not good any longer, and was never that good to begin with.

Bersin stretched the field how many times ? Smith value tied directly to Cam's health...Bersin's was not

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Icege · Posted

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
