The hit he took during the fourth quarter of a November 9 Thursday night loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field landed him in the NFL's concussion protocol the next day. He has no memory of anything up to four hours after the game and has had some short-term memory loss since, all a part of what an independent neurologist diagnosed as post-traumatic amnesia.

I am not saying his salary, thats irrelevant its the cap hit and dead money that got pushed, its now 35 and 22 that is what matters to the team and roster construction.  He is guaranteed to be here in 2025 whereas before yesterday he could have been cut with minimal cap hit

I mean I think it's a moot point because I don't think the Panthers were ever planning to cut him. He's a solid RT, has never missed a game, and they clearly like him given they've restructured his contract every single year since signing him to the extension. I think more likely than not they sign him to a something like a 3-year extension after the season so he's on a 4-year deal and replace his 2025 cap figure with something more manageable. 

But let's say they do want to cut him after the season. While yes, the cap savings aren't as much as they could've been, they can still save $13m on the cap (vs. $18m pre-restructure I believe). So really, it was a no brainer move to get into cap compliance.

The contract they gave him had to be restructured or extended.  They pushed so much of the cap hit towards the end that it forces the hand of the front office in the last couple years.

I dont think they were going to cut him, but keeping status quo gave them an option, now not so much.  I just think it was telling that they waited until the day before the season started to do this out of necessity

The Hurst and Sanders deals seemed terrible from the get go and lo and behold, they were. Hoping the deals made this offseason pan out much better.

I would shy away from big contracts for skill position FAs. There are usually too many variables involved. Oline and Dline is where I'd put FA dollars. Those positions are usually pretty cut and dry. Beat the man in front of you, and do it consistently. If you can do that, then we can work with you.

Teams don't seem to get in trouble for overpaying players as long as these players are good players.  Instead, teams get in big trouble when they overpay for poor talent or overpay a guy that quits trying after his big payday.  

The cap is a joke these days and especially for teams with a QB on a rookie contract.

Please explain how the cap is a joke in light of the past 24-48 hours?

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
