I get that we are not a fan of Ian getting a new contract, but in what way is it "big?" He is the 24th highest paid tight end in the league, and only 1.5% of our total cap. 

I guess because most think of Thomas as a second string guy at best that shouldn't be paid like a starter.

Big enough as in you’re not going to pay him that deal And another big TE contract 

I disagree. His cap hit is 3million this year. There are backups in this league who make the same as Ian on a per year basis. I dont think that impacts whether we can afford another tight end at all. Other teams are doing it.

He isnt paid like a starter. He is paid like backup that can start. Nowhere near what starters actually make in this league. For example: The TCV of a starting TE in the NFL right now is 60-75million... Ian is getting 20million.

You said he was the 24th highest paid TE in the league. That is starter money.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
