we won't have to re-sign him. he'll be under contract for 2010 regardless. the option is if we decide to continue our relationship with him beyond that.

3/11/2006: Signed a five-year, $23 million contract. The deal includes $8 million guaranteed. If Kemoeatu's 2010 option bonus is not exercised, his contract will expire after the 2010 season.

2009: $2 million (+ $1.9 million in guaranteed bonuses),

2010: $750,000 (+ $9.3 million option bonus due in March),

2011: $1.485 million (Voidable Years),

2012: $2.115 million,

2013: $2.745 million,

2014: $3.375 million,

2015: Free Agent

linkif we don't exercise the option then we are on the hook for $750k one way or the other. might as well keep him around and see if he recovers.

He has a $9.3 million option bonus due in early March which would extend his contract through 2014, but no one anticipated that ever being picked up. It was written into his deal last offseason to save some salary cap room. When that tab isn’t picked up (according to contract documents obtained by The Herald), he’ll be due a $1.7 million non-exercise bonus and a base salary of $2.6 million for next season, essentially what he’d have made before...

Well I think depending on how good a push he can get from that injury he has. That will tell us wheather he will stay are not. It all comes down to how much push up from he can get on the sleds in mini camp and all. I hope he has healed fine to where he can come back and play again this coming year. But it is a concern at this point to wheather are not that injury is going to heal properly to allow him to keep doing his job up front on sundays.

Are you asking if he is resigned (as in, next year) will they have to pay that bonus?

I think he gets cut before he's owed the roster bonus if he hasn't made some serious improvement with his recovery from the injury. If the do cut him, I doubt they would sign him back after that.

Any chance of a trade?

Most of the tagged guys ended up being DT's especially from 3-4 defenses.

Not many left out there in the FA pool.

I think if Kemo was not coming off injury then a low pick.But no team going to give us anything for him now.

i'd be surprised if we could re-sign him. there are a lot of teams that want/need a big NT. as bad as we think he might be, he's still going to be attractive to someone. he isn't some scrub. he's a big body that can clog up the middle. that makes life easier for a lot of other players. he'll be an attractive option for quite a few teams.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.

      This year, there's been enough positive talk from core players, free agents, and coaches to where I believe the culture building and momentum is more important than fighting for a worse record.
