Looks like we are going to eat $7m of Teddy's contract this year.

 

That would bring the total cost for 1 year of Teddy to $31m.  $8m in 2020 salary, $1m in workout and game bonuses.  $15m signing bonus.  $7m of guaranteed salary this year we are turning into another bonus.

Also we lost a 3rd, from missing out on a comp pick, but we did get a 6th back.

Hindsight is always 20/20 but fair to say it was a terrible decision.

Entirely disagree. 

No deal:

We pay Teddy $21 mil 2021, still on the books for 2022

With a post-J1 cut:

2021: $15 mil dead cap, clear $7.9 mil in cap space

2022: $5 mil dead cap and we’ve got $21 mil more to spend.

With deal:

2021: Gain 6th rounder, gain $6 mil in cap (yes though more dead cap is eaten that was GOING TO HIM ANYWAYS)

2022: $26 mil freed

There is nothing to disagree with, you are looking at cap space relative to what would have been his cap cost for this year and next if he would have stayed on the team.

My post is stating how much we paid him for his one year of play.  If we are really responsible for $7m this year we will spend $31m for his one year of play.  $24m has already been paid to him, and it looks like we will have to pay him $7m more.

Signing Teddy in the first place and how he performed was a bad deal. The trade to Denver is a good deal. We have paid Teddy way to much for how he performed. 

I hope he does well in Denver and wish him the best but I am glad he is gone.

Oh I misread, if you're saying this being his total cost for his panthers' stay then yep, totally agree.  Thought you were saying the trade was misguided.

Nope, the trade makes sense, and we will save a little bit of money.

Looks to be a good trade for Denver, if his salary is only $3m this year.

Also looks like this 2022 salary voided as part of the deal according to www.spotrac.com .  That might mean if he walks they might get a comp pick for him.

They gave up a 6th round pick for Teddy at $3m and they might get a better pick back if he walks.  That is how you do a "bridge" QB.

Short has no business still being on there. That was the no brainer of all no brainers last year. I can at least excuse Teddy if they actually thought he’d be good but Short made no sense at all because he wasn’t close to worth the extra $13M.

going to be interesting on here when we cant complain about dead cap anymore.

It will be nice. You always have dead cap (most of it is built into overall cap hits), but Marty was truly impressive. $30M of our $39M in 2021 dead cap was from people signed in 2020 or not cut in 2020. I mean that’s just awful decision making when you are cutting people 1 year after signing them to starter deals and do it multiple times every year.

yeah deadcap was pretty consistent and cancerous here. Im excited to see what the team will do with a cap where 85% + is available to be utilized.

      Panthers to work out UFL OPOY Hakeem Butler

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.

      They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
