Not really you are just so dumb

Per a source with knowledge of the contract, Bridgewater’s three-year deal with the Panthers pays out $63 million. Of that amount, $33 million is fully guaranteed.

That’s $21 million per year, the figured cited here on Monday when Bridgewater originally was linked to the Bears.

They are definitely still looking at QB.  

They should. I like Bridgewater but he is more of a game managing type. He didn't exactly light the world on fire playing in an offense with arguably the best offensive mind in football running it. I can definitely see a scenario in which he is extremely underwhelming here given that we don't have nearly the talent on offense that New Orleans does.

So if we cut after year 1 or 2 can we not have any dead cap? I know Hurney has a fetish for dead cap

Yeah the Bears tried to hijack but Hurndog nixed that.  Good work.

1. Let Bradberry get overpaid by someone else. 

2. Got rid of an overpaid, complacent speed bump in TT.

  The Turner-Okung trade has been brutalIzed in every grade it’s gotten. People were so confused they thought it was tanking as the Panthers picked up an older, overpaid (4.5M more than TT) LT.

Oh ok then.

He is very classy, no showboating or histrionics.  I strongly disagree with the move but will support the starting QB of the Panthers now and always.  

 

At least we didn't end up with that bum Trubisky.

I don't think it is a terrible trade. LT is a much higher positional value versus OG and it has been our biggest OL weakness for a long time. Trai was the better overall player but he was also trending downward in his performances. 

I think it will end up as a wash.

And I definitely understand surface level grades but they are just that at this point, surface level. We were on the hook for 2 more years with him and the current staff didn't feel like he fit our plan/team dynamic moving forward.

Trust the process...

I don't think even the most hardcore Panthers fan has any trust of the process so far. Between the owner, the GM and the head coach, I think they are just basically fumbling around in the dark trying to figure it all out.

  So a “better” player that is 5 years younger on a complete rebuild. For one year that isn’t going to go well anyhow. At close to 50% highest salary? What’s the thought process. They eat 9.6M dead cap + 13M for Okung. That 22.6M to keep the LT of the future away from LT. 
 

   Best bet is to wait for a LT to go down on another team and is desperate enough to trade for Okung. Get a 3rd and it’s back to what it should have been. A trade for a pick not a salary.
