Dead cap status

[Captain Morgan]

 

 

 

over the cap is very close to these numbers...Big hits are Teddy and KK, Luke is next.

However, for next year....

only $2,666,668...Tre Boston.

The current contracts we have aren't bad, either. The biggest dead cap threat next year is if we cut/trade Darnold. Even then, the hit isn't huge.

Teddy was a bad contract. Luke retiring is was it is. I think we are heading in the right direction as far as the cap goes. Next year should look much better.

[thunderraiden]

I don’t understand what he means by “get us out of the hole Hurney dug” its over abd done, aside from Shaq and Darnold theres no risk to any more dead cap other than Tre Bostons small impact.

[Toomers]

  I think y’all might want to check in on Paradis and Reddick’s contracts. That’s 13.2M  that is the same as dead cap. Kicking it down the road with voidable years is no different.

Not bad 

[BlitzMonster]

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.

 

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

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.

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.

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.

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?!

Can someone explain how Luke’s retirement causes dead cap?
