Dead cap status

Part of Carolina's desire to have a lot of draft picks in 2021 may have been to handle the dead money problem this year.

Rookies are cheap and this allows the team to clear all that dead money off of their cap.

The 2022 team cap will look great because of this strategy.

 

**************************************************************************************

2021 PANTHERS DEAD MONEY > 1M

Teddy Bridgewater    QB    $17,062,000 
Kawann Short    DT    $11,017,000 
Luke Kuechly    ILB    $7,132,514 
Tre Boston    FS    $2,666,666 
Stephen Weatherly    DE    $2,000,000 
Graham Gano    K    $1,537,500

I can not prove this, but willing to bet no other team has a higher two year dead cap total than the panthers have form 2020-2021. I bet not team comes within 20 million, @Toomers or @stbugs any chance Im right?

 

Sad part is they can add to the dead cap this year and if not for trading Carson Wertz, Panthers would be leading AGAIN!! Bloody hell herniay........curse you!!!

2020 was 54 million.  2021 is 42.6 million and we are not done yet because the season has not started.  So almost 100 million over 2 years, yeah that is alot.

Was 54 the all-time highest as well? dang theres no sort of web-site thats has dead cap history... Not long ago 30 million was the highest most years, what a poor ran team.......living jokes. 

I believe my statement is right until someone can prove its false.

I honestly dont blame Luke on Herniay, while his contract was re-done a couple times(pushing money in the future years) luke didnt seem like the type to early retire. Still other moves are unforgivable.

KK’s extension and contract in general was worse than TBs. Paradis wasn’t great depending on this year it could be just ok. Shaq over BB was dum and just asinine in general.

Soon as all these clear we should be good.

No shade directed towards Shaq personally but extending him rather than Bradbury was Galactically stupid.  Extend an average LB over a young, promising press corner?  WTF?!

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
