With regards to him taking a discount, I will believe when I see it. Really can’t see Reddick taking any sort of major discount to stay. This will be his one and probably only chance to cash in to last him for the rest of his life. He should take the highest guaranteed number he is offered.

Correct, the idea of players taking discounts is pretty much a fantasy fans like to dream about. In reality players are/should be looking out for there own financial best interest and I don’t blame anyone for doing so.

I still think we overpaid Robby. We have so much good talent on the roster and needed that money to pay some of the upcoming free agents. 15 million per year for Robby is top 10 receiver money and I just don't think he's a top 10 NFL receiver. Happy he's here and nothing bad to say about him, I just think 10 million per year was more in line with where he should be.

I’m not sure how we’re gonna figure out his payday. Brian has two more years (fifth year option) on his rookie deal and we’re probably looking at a gigantic deal for him. Then if Sam works out we gotta sign him to a sizable payday. Then we got DJ.  Lots of sizable contracts coming up. I know we got the space but we need to be smart.

Assuming Darnold proves to be extension worthy, I’m not sure he’ll break the bank. While he will get paid, it’s unlikely he’ll warrant a huff deal by the time we are extending him and even if he’s coming off of a monster season, I would imagine he would prefer to stick around in Carolina after we revived his career, especially after experiencing the NYJ and how important it is to find the right fit.

DJ will be paid elite money. Burns will be paid elite money. Reddick will be paid close to elite but similar to my hopes for Darnold, he may take a little less to stick here with Rhule and Snow who he obviously loved playing for. 
 

We are one of the most cap abundant teams. I think we will manage to work this all out.

They are willing to take some discounts but what a player thinks is a discount and what fans think is a discount is a gulf as wide as an ocean. To a fan, a discount on a $15M/year contract offer is $10M/year to stay where he is. To a player, it’s like $14.75M/year

I understand your point, but it's all about resource allocation per position.  Many teams have 2 high-priced receivers... that shouldn't cripple a well-managed cap.  

We can dispute the amount paid to Robby, but locking him up for another 2 years was a good GM move.  Solidifies that position and allows you to develop 2 drafted guys (Terrace Marshall & Shi Smith) on rookie deals.  Doing this will allow us to sustainably build a good WR corp.

The biggest thing missing with Hurney was the bad drafting that forced the team to sign many FA's for higher money (even if they weren't that good) to fill roster spots.  Better-ran teams fill those spots with draft picks, which allows them to pay their core elite talent guys and occasionally splurge on a big-ticket FA.

With Hurney, too many times we overspent to fill positions that should have been filled through better drafting, and then we compounded the issue b/c the FA's we signed to fill those roles sucked and then we cut them and had to eat dead cap.

That's not to say we never had any success under Hurney, but I do think it was a major factor in why the Panthers have never been able to sustain success via back-to-back winning seasons.

Definitely is looking like the league's best free agent signing of the offseason.  In his last 17 games Reddick has 15.5 that's tops in the NFL. And being able to pair this beast with Brian Burns is just unfair and has transformed this pass rush into the best in the league.  Locking him up long term has to be number 1 priority for the front office.

I wonder if that's the play Hartsfield got injured on? He comes up grabbing his wrist.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Can you imagine how last night played out with the way our defense was playing after that first drive?  An average QB who you can count on to make the right decisions more often than not - We’re up 21-7 at half and run the clock out.  That game isn’t even close.  Bryce is so bad he makes what should be a likely outcome the negative and complete inverse. If they had a plus/minus stat in football like in basketball, Bryce on average would be a -18 or somewhere about.  And that’s your fuging starting qb.  If he’s a net negative every game, your whole team suffers and are just as bad as a consequence.  So guys who would be a +10 with an average QB are now -10s every game.  He is a fuging parasite.  And not only is he destroying the careers and success of those around him, but he’s literally sucking the life out of the fanbase.

      1. He signed up for it so just run the damn ball.  2. He is a backup. Just not here hopefully. 3. Not drafting a QB should equal a complete flush of the staff. It matters where a lot less than who. Clean technique and coachable. They don't need a 3 year project IMO. 4. That fear is tied to other guys. If you fear Young than your time in the NFL is going to be short and brutal. 5. Duh. He is a Young quality HC. He will end up being a meh OC after this that depends on a HC to make him call a game the way he should.

      The exact opposite game plan

      By CRA · Posted

      Canales’ argument was basically….well if you can’t try and build off of Young’s pass game vs Atlanta then when can you with him IMO.  I mean the answer is you can’t and Bryce stinks.  The charade should be over.    there is nothing to build and develop with Bryce.  He stinks and after so many times of stinking he will have a random game where he doesn’t.  The gameplan every week should be the QB stinks and how many times can I give Rico the ball
