We need Vick on our football team. He will bring a mobile QB which we never had and someone who can throw the long ball. I know that the Panthers organization wants the Clean image but screw it lets win some football games. He might cost some money but if we can afford to pay Pep $1mil a game then we can afford Vick. He is use to the NFC south and would be on a mission with a new chance and a new team. I don't want to hear about Matt Moore being our future after 1 good game. #7 in 2010.

I work in the medical field at a facility that services people thru out the Charlotte area and thru out NC. Every day, EVERY SINGLE DAY, I talk to patients and donors about the NFL and the Panthers. Every day, EVERY SINGLE DAY, I hear someone saying "the Panthers should sign Vick". Yet I come on this board and people act like its a crazy suggestion. Its a no brainer that we should be looking at acquiring him, but politics and a marketable image reign supreme in Pantherland. You can call us losers, just....

The eagles will not keep him next year. So we can either trade or give up some picks. No drugs just sick of seeing crap QB play week after week. If you guys want Moore as your starter then have fun being a Panthers fan next year and for years to come. We need some excitement in that stadium.

    • That is just Panthers history pain speaking.
    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
