The link says it is about Jonathan Stewart news but it also mentions several players that got escalators based on excellent play.

Stewart had a base salary of 1.74 million which grew to 2.74 million as a result of an escalator in his contract for hitting several performance marks.

Thomas Davis tripled his base salary from $700,000 to 2.2 million. Imagine if he played all year.

Brayton increased his base salary from 1.8 to 2.1 million.

If I read this correctly it sounds like those escalators put our salary cap for 2009 over the top. So Diggs getting extended actually reduced his 2009 cap hit so we could stay under the cap with those increases. I think Pepper's 1.5 million was already included in bonuses likely to be earned and part of the cap. I wondered why they extended Diggs at this point for cap releif when there isn't going to be a cap in 2010.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.

      The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
