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?

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
