If he keeps this up then you pay him and figure the rest out later. While it’s only 5 games in, he’s on pace for a 50-40-90 season.

Bridges and Martin are the only FA’s we have (RFA’s) and with a projected $26M in cap space next season we should be able to find a way to keep both if we really wanted.

I suspect this years team will look pretty similar to next years.

Miles is playing like a future All Star...love to see his development.  He's also fun to watch.  Pairs up so well with LaMelo.

If we have to move a piece to afford him, I'm all for it.  We sure are paying Gordon a lot for what he's produced.

Miles Bridges might end up being the best player in Charlotte since the rebirth of basketball here in this city. This kid talked about wanting to improve his game like Pascal Siakam last season. He has finally arrived after putting hard work in the offseason. Miles is averaging 26ppg and 8rpg in his first 5 games this season. Insane!

I feel like Hayward is very expendable at this point. Coach says he is the "calming" force at the end of games, but honestly, he doesn't take over. He is just another player out there. We should only have 2 years left on his contract after next this year, hope we can move him next year for a legit big man or clutch scorer.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
