So when New Orleans restructures contracts to fit under the cap they have a genius at work, but when the Panthers do it they are blooming idiots? Can't have it both ways.  BTW do you think these contracts anticipated the drop in revenue from Covid 19 and are a 1 time correction or a harbinger of the future??

    One team was extending there “window” with a HOF QB and a very good shot at a SB. The other “pissed” away 80M and comp picks to make a poor roster capable of winning 5 games. Context means everything. Different situations mean different decisions. But make up whatever you want or need to.

Mickey Loomis is 178-126 as an NFL GM. The Panthers are 200-215-1 as a franchise. One gets the benefit of the doubt due to success while the other has a lot to prove.

Mentioned in the other thread: Fitterer seemed to indicate that there were additional restructures we haven't heard about yet.

He also said though that he's not a big fan of restructuring and he recognizes the kind of problems it can lead to down the road. They're really only doing it now because of this year's unique circumstances.

It's a critical error to restructure Shaq. Restructuring a player who should be being released is peak Hurney. It's as if he never left.

While I agree, this defense was already really, really, really bad last year.  There aren't really many guys out there that could replace him and be an upgrade.

Anyone mad at Shaq for signing his contract simply isn't very intelligent. Same for Teddy. Both guys proved to be exactly what they had shown to be in the past. Anyone disappointed about their play after they got paid wasn't paying attention to their play before they got paid. The only thing that changed was their pay check and their cap hit.

I would say that Shaq played better with Luke, so that person is not exactly who he is. I thought he'd play better, but I wouldn't have paid him that amount because it was always a guessing game with him. I wouldn't have paid Teddy that either, or at least if I felt inclined I certainly would have had an out if he didn't get it done. He should've gotten a prove-it deal, and if he wouldn't have signed, I guess he would've been a Bear. Marty's contracts were eye-raising too many times. I'm hoping for better under Fit.

      At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

      I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.

      Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
