I am not seeing how this helps us at all.  I am really struggling to understand or make sense of this trade.  So they can cut Okung june 1 and that frees up cap space? 

That's what I want to hear about. I doubt Okung can stay healthy.

Not really. First of all there is no “post June 1st cuts” this year with the new CBA impending.

A post June 1st cut just allows you to spread dead money over 2 seasons. This year all dead money has to be accounted for immediately. 
 

We were charged a dead money hit for Trai (remaining guaranteed bonus money not accounted for yet). Chargers accrued the dead money from Okung. 
 

If we cut Okung we only save this years salary but it’s not additional money.

I mean if we straight cut him in june then man, damn, I dont know.  Its almost if Tepper wants to ask the league to do a system reset to default settings.  Just get everyone off the team and start from scratch.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
