Using past contracts to make a point in the present. Gotta love that spin.

 

Again, when you can come at me with actual numbers.

lol, what are you even talking about

Prior contracts are always relevant.  They just factored into Bosa’s new deal.  It’s how they got to that number.   For Bosa….his brother Bosa, Mack and Garrett contracts all played into what his deal ended up being.  His had to top theirs and did. 

I came at your with actual numbers.  Guaranteed money of Von, Chubb, Reddick, etc and the VAST difference of that and Bosa.   That’s why there is no deal.  That’s not a 3 million difference.  It’s 60+.   And that’s why there is no deal yet.

Nope, I ain't playing this game with you. When you show actual numbers, then we can revisit this.

TJ Watt's $28M was signed in September 2021 when the NFL salary cap was $182.5M. That $28M/yr avg was 15% of the cap.

If Brian Burns gets signed to a $28M/yr avg in 2023 when the salary cap is $224.8M that would account for 12.5% of the cap.

Paying Burns $28M/yr is not as impactful to the team as it was to the Steelers when TJ Watt signed his deal. Comparing the two is being willfully dismissive of the important detail that the cap today is over $40M more today.

 

Real numbers. Who'd a thunk it?

Guaranteed money 

Reddick 30M, Von Miller 51M, Chubb 53M (all recent deals)

Bosa  122M

Bosa has a vastly different contract.  It’s on a different planet in terms of money . Because he isn’t just a pass rusher.

Thanks, I know those other deals are a few years old. but that is still one heck of a jump. Now we still don't know what Brian wants. It really is difficult to know how to take this. I want Burns, and I think he should be paid. But man, I'm conflicted as all get out.

 

Imagine if the Panthers gave him 122mil. This board would implode.

I'm not going to bother with digging into it with all these contracts, but there is also a difference between guaranteed money and "guaranteed" money with how teams structure contracts these days to manipulate the cap.

A lot of time there aren't actual guarantees, but the contracts are written in a way that there are essentially non-guaranteed guaranteed money.

They'll do something where Year 3 of the contract isn't guaranteed at signing, but it becomes guaranteed if you're on the roster on Day 1 of the league year after the first year of the contract.

Those are the type of things where even if the player has an injury or epic bust of a season, they aren't going to cut the player before year 2 starts solely because of the dead money hit they'd have to take.  That's a way for players to get "guarantees" that aren't actually considered in the guaranteed money up front when the deal is signed.

Same thing with how contracts can be structured to where some of the early years of the contracts are full salary payments, knowing they won't/can't be cut due to dead money hits, and in each offseason the team takes that upcoming year's salary, re-structures it as a roster bonus and then vet min salary for the season to keep pushing the cap down the road.

Miller is on the back end of his career, so that guarantee seems right, but it wouldn't shock me if the Chubb deal had some of the above things in the structure of the contract to where he knows he's actually "guaranteed" more money than that in the end.

I truly believe that no matter how this works out, a good majority of the Huddle is going to freak.

There is  just a reality.   Justin Jefferson and DJ Moore are in different tiers.   That doesn’t Moore isn’t a 1 or great. 

Brian Burns is in a different tier than Bosa.  Just like Chubb is.  Or Reddick is.  And the contracts do and should reflect it.  Which is that guaranteed money and that gigantic gap isn’t just creative contract wording.

No one will freak if Fitt does a good contract. They would celebrate it.  But Fitt worked himself into a bad negotiating corner.   Because we have a bad front office.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
