Because he was about to count as 18M for the 2022 season after costing 10/7/8 the three prior years, IF he had been released it would have created 6M in cap. 

*Rounded numbers above for simplicity*

Details here on his cap hit prior to this announcement -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/shaq-thompson-16749/

It'll be interesting to see the results of this.

The results?  A ton of dead cap after he's released in a year or two, you know...like how we are eating $8.3 million of Paradis' dead cap this season as he's technically still on the roster but won't ever play a down or even suit up.

There’s plenty of good FA OL on the market this year.  Now is the time to grab them.  

Why? This team is not anywhere close to competing.  Throwing money at overpriced FA's is not helping them get out of this mess they've created.  

PS, if those OL were worth signing they would never have hit FA.

Here's our estimated cap space in the upcoming years: 

Obviously signings / extensions / etc. will happen over the course of this year and moving forward, but moving calculated money down the road on cornerstone players isn't going to hurt. What you can't do like the Saints is do that while ALSO paying premium for a QB. 

IF we get lucky and draft a good QB the team / cap is in great shape.

This team doesn't have any cornerstone players. They've floundered around for 3 years trying to replace what few they did have.

My guy, those are voidable years, we did the same for Reddick -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/matt-paradis-14618/

So bringing up Paradis in this light doesn't really serve your comment very well.

That is not a restructure -- it's ''fake money'' years to spread out a signing bonus. It's why they are referred to as ''voidable''.

A voidable year is an ‘extra’ year on the length of the contract that the team and the player intend to void. In other words, it is a “dummy” year on the contract that the player will never play or get paid for, and it exists for the sole purpose of lowering the annual cap hit, especially in the first year of the contract.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
