Sorry, but it is still a shade under $15M a year for two more years. Tearing up this year’s deal doesn’t make the cost cheaper. That’s just spacing out the cap hits how they want. $15M a year is basically top tier WR2 money like Kupp and Godwin. He’s below those guys and above the next tier. $12-13M is a fair deal for him so it’s a slight overpay but it’s a 2 year deal and since DJ has his 5th year option, we won’t ever have a big cap hit at WR and you’ve got extra time for Marshall and Smith to get better. Worst case is we pay $20M for just 2022 and Marshall and possibly Smith have relegated Robby to an expensive WR3 for one year.

The biggest issue I see with this is that I would have waited. It’s a lot of money to waste if Marshall and possibly Smith look phenomenal and/or Darnold looks like crap. Paying Robby a lot in 2022/2023 for lower production and/or while we have to get a new QB is something you could have avoided if you let the season play out while talking extension.

Overall, not a bad deal but maybe premature and a little overpay.

Robby doesnt have a cap hit over 13 million for any of the next 3 years.  

12or 12.5 this year (can't remember)

13 next year

12 the following year.

Please show the verified structure that has been released. Just because a guy on the internet guessed(poorly) doesn’t make it true. Once again, his cap hit was 12M before yesterday. How is adding 4.5M going to keep it the same? If not, how are the 2022-23 cap hits totaling 25M? Most reporters have no clue how to report on contracts.

His cap hit was not 12 mil before yesterday.  It was 8.  They added 4.5 to that to bring it to 12.5

8 million dollar base salary.  8 million dollar signing bonus, spread out over 2 years of the contract, for a 12 million dollar cap hit prior to his new deal yesterday. 

Im not professing to being a contract or cap expert.  So I guess you're right.  I'm wrong. All I know is that they were saying yesterday at the time he signed it that his salary went from 8 mil this year to 12.5, as they added 4.5 to his salary this year.  Nowhere was it mentioned that his salary would be anywhere close to 16 mil this year.

Exactly. So how are you proposing adding 4.5M to this year, thus making the others add up to only 25M. And it stays at 12 or 12.5M? You just typed out the hole in your theory. 
 

 In your last two posts you have said the exact opposite in each. Nice.

OK.  Go back and reread my post.  Like I said, I guess you are right and I am wrong.  Does that make you happy?  I can admit when I am wrong.  And it doesn't really matter one way or another.

And that was edited in after my response was written. So what was I supposed to think? You posted opposite statements like I just didn’t say the same thing. Then don’t bring up false info if it don’t matter.

He was going to get that for this season anyway.  

And he still has 4M of guaranteed signing bonus from his first contract. Just as was posted in the posts right before yours. His cap hit was 12M for this year BEFORE anything signed yesterday.

I wasn’t worried about cap. I was responding to someone acting like we are paying him less per year because we tore up the existing contract. At the end of the day we added two years to his current deal for $29.5. The cap/contract amount per year wrangling aside, we are still paying him an average of $14.75M per year extra for 2022 and 2023.

The funny thing is that cap rolls over so adding money to 2021 instead of 2022 is a wash because you are reducing the rollover by the same amount that you now have in extra 2022 room.

You seem to care more about how the books are kept than what the value of the contract is.  He is being paid an average salary of 12.5 mil a season for 3 seasons.  I'm not sure why you are focusing on his last contract is no longer in play.   The past signing bonus has already been paid.  I couldn't care less how its accounted for on paper.

      RBA Contract Extension Pulled

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Multiple sports media outlets reporting the contract extension for RBA might be off the table. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2904953

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      Yea we easily win 6-7 games with Dalton but prefer the way it played out in getting the HC and GM fired

      By hepcat · Posted

      Hypothetical offseason question. If the Panthers sat Bryce in 2023 and played Dalton instead, where would the Panthers be going into 2024? One thing is certain, things would be VERY different.  1) Frank Reich doesn’t get fired. Dalton is a veteran and operated Frank’s offense far more effectively in the one game he started than Bryce did. The Panthers likely look a lot more competent early on and Frank doesn’t get fired mid-season. Caveat - It’s also been quietly mentioned in some media outlets that Frank and the staff preferred to draft CJ Stroud and might have tanked the season intentionally to get fired, all speculation. But the vanilla offensive scheme might have been a coincidence due to lack of talent and competence, or perhaps malicious compliance.  2) The Panthers wouldn’t have been the worst team in the NFL. The defense was fairly good in 2023 despite the fact the offense was the worst in the NFL with Young under center. With a veteran starting at QB, the offense would possess the ball for longer periods of time and could have lead to even better performances from the defense.  3) Scott Fitterer doesn’t get fired. A move I think was needed either way, but if the Panthers resembled anything in the way of competency in 2023, Fitterer doesn’t get the axe especially because they hadn’t seen what Bryce can do on the field yet.  4) David Tepper doesn’t throw a drink at a fan. I think we’re all tired of the owner of this franchise embarrassing the fans with his immature behavior but hey, I have to imagine that his rage wouldn’t have been at level 10 if they hadn’t had the disaster of a season they did in 2023. 5) Bryce has a good 2024? Biggest leap I can make in this speculation but I think if Bryce sat in 2024, and the team makes similar moves to build the offense around him, he would come into a much better situation after having a chance to learn on the bench behind a veteran instead of the situation he was thrust into.    We will never know how this would have played out but it is fun to speculate!
