We’d have wasted 2 2nd round picks and fourth and a 6th for 1 year of worst starting qb in the league play. Lol. Naw I’d rather just cut him and eat the 1 year 18 mill cap hit then trade any more picks.

Hey trust me I understand, this is just being realistic about other options other than eating the cap hit, if trading a 2nd means we keep our guys or add a o line I think we can recover from that quicker than just having him eat cap on a potential playoff team

They’re not gonna trade a 2nd to get rid of him. Just not gonna happen.

Who in their right mind would ever trade away draft picks to get rid of a $20M salary?!?!@?! EAT IT, draft his replacement and move on. We've been saddled with way worse contracts over the years. This is nothing.

I say we eat it, but if we did trade a draft pick away, I don't think it would require a 2023 2nd round pick.  I go back to Brock Osweiler and his contract had 3 years left at about $18M per year and the compensation wasn't that high.  In that trade, The Browns agreed to send a 2017 fourth-round pick to the Houston Texans in return for Osweiler, a 2017 sixth-rounder and the Texans’ 2018 second-round selection.

No it didn’t. It was 16M in guaranteed base salary. Just like Darnold.

I think a trade even with incentive is unlikely, everyone saw how bad of a QB Sam has been over the past 4 years. 

This will simply go down as a horrible decision, we will likely take the lump on next years cap and move on. We're estimated to have -- 36M in cap going into the 2022 off-season -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/2022/ and 135M in 2023 -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/2023/

If Sumir earns his money which I am sure he has, I think we could bee in line for some creative contract structures for the players we extend similar to how Robbie's initial 20M / 2yr deal was split (8M / 12M). 

Extending / restructuring Shaq's contract would go a long way, there's not many cuts that would make sense (Fox / Bouye) in relation to the cap savings.

Hopefully we can eat some salary and trade him for something. That's what we had to do with Teddy. If not, just eat it and cut him. The cap got is the same either way and he's useless on the roster.

I'd venture to say he's useless everywhere now.    He'd deadweight as an NFL player.

Yeah not seeing much in major saving per player than Shaq, that could be around $5m freed up. Moton/CMC/Robby are the big newish contracts so seems like a stretch to restructure already unless it's simple 1 year extensions to move money around. Either way we could probably get Cam/Reddick/Gilmore all back with big bonuses/small cap hits. The Saints do this stuff every year

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
