Andy Dalton is a Panther

Recommended Posts

The Panthers will be Andy Dalton's fifth team in as many years. He started at some point for the previous four, playing 14 games for the New Orleans Saints last season.

Dalton posted a 95.2 quarterback rating and 7.6 yards per attempt, his highest marks since 2015, with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions when replacing Jameis Winston in Week 4.

So a cap hit of ~$3.5mil for 2023. Still leaves plenty of room. I wonder what makes it a total of $8mil guaranteed. 

I think you have to include part of the bonus money since its only being spread over 2 years.  I really didn't look that closely at it.

The $4.835mil signing bonus is Dalton’s at signing of the contract so that’s guaranteed. It is divided between the two years for cap purposes only. 
 

The 2023 base salary of $1.165mil is likely fully guaranteed. 
 

Those two total $6mil and many are reporting $8mil is guaranteed. I’m just wondering where the $2mil extra is coming from. Likely half of the 2024 base is guaranteed. 
 

So if we cut him or he retires after 2023, we eat ~$4.4mil in 2024 dead cap.

There are 2 void years that allowed bonus be be spread over 4 years.

I think they have to also account for incentives he will likely earn built into the contract.  Those little details that get ignored when numbers are tossed around.

I don’t think any of Dalton’s will be considered “likely to be earned” once we pick a QB with #1. Maybe though.

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
