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.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
