What is a “3 year split?”

A split salary protects the team against injury. So if a player gets hurt under a split contract they get paid less. You’ll *never* see a good player have one but usually late round/UDFA who have injury concerns have them written into the contract.

Hicks is a vet piece that’s elite against the run. If we’re sitting on 25 million, we should be open to spending to improve weaknesses. Like run defense.

Is he going to get us to the super bowl this year?  If not why would we sign more of a luxury player to a 1 year deal when we can just roll the cap over to next season instead.

Baffles me how we’re in that situation..

It's all this void year garbage we keep adding.  We had the chance to take our lumps with those @(*&$ contracts the last two years and kept kicking the can down the road.  Now it's catching up.

I think Ionidas is the only player with void money next year (around 4 m).

Meanwhile we'll probably roll over 15m. 

We can cut Anderson next year and clear 12m.

Burns will be extended so his 16m. hit will probably end up being 4-5m.

DJ's base salary of 20m can be converted to bonus and save around 15m.

Cutting Elflein next year saves just under 5m.

We don't know how high the cap will go up next year.

And that's all without touching Shaq, CMC, or Moton.

We'll be ok.

I mean it doesn’t sound like he would be succesful looking at those numbers, sounds like a run defender then again I remember us signing a few udfa DEs over the years that made the team and got playing time and were specifically run stopping DEs like Wes Horton and Bryan Cox. Both put up similar numbers in college.

can you write an autobiography?  I want to learn more about you..

 

 

I'm thinking he is a big time CEO type that has much responsibility so he spends his down time recharging and trolling us for some chill fun. I appreciate all his strangely odd responses. My favorites are when someone posts something really jacked up that happens and he responds with a "I'm completely fine with this". I know he isn't but he is seeing who he can get a rose out of and it's great. His humor often seems very serious in nature so it makes it that muchore goofy and entertaining. He is an all around very important part of the huddle. This site needs him.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
