All that matters is the return on the investment. Shouldn't be any excuse to field less than a top 15 offense this year.

It’s all gonna fall at the feet of one particular diminutive signal caller.

#Panthers Jaelan Phillips: four years, $120 million, $80M gtd, $60M fully gtd, $20M inj gtd.
$35M signing bonus
APY: $30M
Salaries $1.215M, $22.51M, $28.75M, $28.75M

Brand Tillis......he's either a genius or someone we will loathe in 3 years when all these salaries come to roost and he's a GM somewhere else. 

I choose to believe he's a genius for now.

That 20m injury is guaranteed for all intents and purposes as it hits next off-season for 2028 salary. If he's on the roster for 2027, he gets the extra 20m of salary guarantees for the 2028 season. 

Considering his dead cap for 2027 is 50m, he'll be on the roster to get the full guarantee switch. 

 

Otherwise the guaranteed money is in 2026 and 2027 salary plus signing bonus. 

Can be cut with cap savings after 3 years to what essentially could be a 3 year 81m dollar deal. (He's got a cap hit of 38.75m in 2027 and 2028.)

Mike Kaye replying to above post:

”If he plays well next year, they will almost certainly restructure to open up cap and push down the cap number.

His contract becomes guaranteed for Year 3 early in Year 2 unless he essentially bombs.

I think 3 years, $90 million is the deal, which will almost certainly be reworked if successful. If it doesn’t, pretty notable gamble (let’s not kid glove this). 

As with any deal there is nuance.”

That's not totally correct, because 20m of his salary for 2028 becomes fully guaranteed on the 15th of March in 2027. Those cut numbers for year 3 don't include that as part of the dead money, which it would be. After the 15th of next March, his dead cap hit for 2028 will be 37.5m. 

 

I mean I guess they could theoretically cut him and have a dead cap hit of 37.5m and save 1m.... But I doubt it.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
