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

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By rayzor · Posted

      agreed. reich and fox were kind of similar in that i think their comfort zone with QBs were established vets.  any rookie QB would have been outside that. i do think that he might have been more comfortable with stroud than young, but i also still think that we would have been stuck in a bad place. there was more than went wrong than with the QB. nothing worked and QB issues were one of many symptoms of the problem that we found ourselves in with reich. the whole thing was too much for him. not only did he get a QB outside of his comfort zone, he got unfamiliar assistants that came from unfamiliar schemes. he had no prior relationship with most coaches he had added to his staff.  again, that staff was tepper's idea...get the dream staff with a billion years of experience and those who don't have a poo ton of experience were coaches that were considered up and comers for HC jobs.  reich is a mild-mannered passive likeable kind of guy. he wasn't the big dominant personality that would be needed to handle that staff.

      Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

      By frankw · Posted

      I can't blame anyone in sports media for not believing we've made a big enough jump talent wise to compete. I mean let's be realistic. In the eyes of many of us here we were improved on paper under Scott Fitterer each offseason the last few years. Just because we're once again buying in doesn't mean the rest of the sports world will also. Then you go back to preseason last year and the downplaying of how horrific we looked not just offensively but as a whole. If we look competent in preseason  I will begin to feel some level of confidence about the direction of the team and so will those in the sports world. Until then nothing we've done matters.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Yeah we don't have a beast mode, and Bryce doesn't threaten with the play action/scramble deep shots. That's the majority of the reason that formula worked in Seattle during that stretch. I hope Brooks is a good back, but he's definitely not a beast mode type.
