Wharton is replacement level fill in for a future draft pick. He is not and will never be a long term solution. 

He played over 100 more snaps than Milton, had a similar pressure rating 70 pass rush on PFF the highest rated player in the SB.

 

I think your wrong but time will tell.

Plus, only $30.25 mil is actually guaranteed. Three years and 45 mil, with 9 mil more dependent upon meeting incentives. If it's an overpay, it's a fairly good bet, and a decent way to structure a contract to bring out the best in a player, especially one with a high motor. 

I mean, I know why some are being decidedly negative, but at some point one must realize that it's not really a doom and gloom situation, and that Wharton's contract is kinda worth the risk. It's relatively low to possibly mid risk, but with a high reward. If this high motor guy balls out, the contract will look good.

Not necessarily ignoring it. It's mainly due to lack of picks in the range where it matters. They need speed on the edge and they will have 1 pick in the top 50. There's not much you can do with that.

Very true, we’ve wasted so many picks and traded more away that we really are stuck a bit. They thought the Rams 2nd would replace our 2nd (last part of Young trade) and they ended up 18 picks apart. In looking at a mock, there were 8 DL and 4 DBs taken between our traded pick and the Rams pick we have.

We still need to crush 8, like pro bowl level player and hit on 57. If not, we’re just going to keep throwing money at FAs and hope.

"The Carolina Panthers came close to landing Milton Williams, and then circled back to fill a pressing need on their defensive interior. It’s an enormous payday for [Tershawn] Wharton, who had a career year with 6.5 sacks in 2024. While Wharton deserved a significant bump, this is enormous money for a player who has enjoyed one above-average campaign and only once has exceeded 50% of the defensive snaps in a season. At 26 years old, there’s ample room to grow, but the Panthers are betting on Wharton not only getting better but becoming a Pro Bowl-caliber player to justify the contract."

You know what great defenses have in common? DEFENSIVE line rotation 

 

So you are benching a player with 15million salary??

That's all-pro money he is right around Vita Vea and Ed Oliver!!

You can continue to defend this, but this is clear massive overpay. 

You didn't my first question, try to answer this one- Did you know tershawn wharton before Panthers signed him?

You are also aware of measurables- Compare to either arob or dbrown, he's about 4 inches shorter and around 50 LBs lighter.

This was a panic signing after Milton left them at the altar. 

 

The only saving grace is Brandt Tilis must have stood up on the table and believed he will be a future all-pro. 

Keep on eye on this.

Panthers will have the most expensive backup DL in the NFL.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
