Oh wee mayne. That would be peak Panthering. LOL

I mean i will actually be pissed if thats the case 

Freeing that much space seems to indicate a trade being imminent though.

Morgan on Feb 27  - Sigh

 

"I think we're going to be a little smarter when it comes to the restructuring," Morgan said. "We're going do things the right way, not kind of kick the can down the road. We want to evenly distribute and pay year-to-year as opposed to kicking the can down the road.

He’s saying they’re not going to stack large amounts of money into void years. Not that they’ll never extend a player.

I honestly  dont worry about the cap one bit now. We haven't had issues with that in a while. 

Because we haven't drafted anyone worth re-signing in awhile.

That’s textbook every team in the NFL. Why else would any team reduce the current year’s cap other than to sign or trade for a player?

One of my non-Panthers serious football fan friends succinctly summed it up...

You have to pay for a player of that caliber

We haven't had New Orleans level cap issues but we also are projected(prior to this deal) to have just $17.7 mil in cap space next season. That's pretty bad when you consider what we are getting in return.

Nice framing of the extension by you. I wonder why your friend didn’t respond positively.

We traded him in 2022, he was under contract(in his case for 2 more years), like Moton, when we gave him his massive deal, you think either player was going to sit out?
