Panthers reworking Shaq's Deal


 Share

Recommended Posts

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports LB Shaq Thompson will remain with the Panthers on a restructured two-year deal.

Thompson was rumored to be a potential cap casualty due to a $24.5 million cap hit in 2023. Although the details of the deal have yet to be announced, it is clear the organization reworked his contract to keep a veteran presence in the second level for a lower number against the cap. All parties should be satisfied as an aging linebacker gets an additional year on his contract while the Panthers retain a defensive captain.

It's unreal.  I go to the games.  Shaq flies around as much as anyone out there, and he has gotten better in coverage throughout his career.  Him & Burns & Luvu are insanely fast when you see them live.  He still has plenty of juice, unless he falls off a cliff this season.

He is a very good player, but b/c he's not Luke or TD people try to slander him.  Our defense next year is much better with him than without him.

Behind the scenes, Scott Fitterer, Dan Morgan, Frank Reich, Ejiro Evero, & Dom Capers all wanted this to happen.  If that group is not qualified to make that decision and make the right one, I'm hard pressed to believe anyone else on this board is either.

    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
