Best I got is AJ brown directs some some of "QB hate" from hurts to the rusty rifle...

I mean did philly also take his salary too?? He had like 2.25 in guarantees and if so that lowers his cap increases his cap relief from 100,000 to 4,000,000+. That was a big issue from a release standpoint, 4 mill in cap space... I believe he also has around 2 mill in dead cap, but still better than 100,000 total..

I would assume we eat most of his contract and take on the cap hit.

Good luck to Andy, thanks for making this place home for a while. There were quite a few moments there and one incredible game. And however Bryce turns out, it was good to have a vet here to help bring him along.

We need to see how that plays out before handing out the props. 2027 7th for 4 million in 2026 cap space seems like a great deal for Panthers if that's the case. 

4-8(incentives) million is the going bottom rate for backup QBs, I think Dalton was right there in the 4 range. 

Well bonus, BY no longer wearing Huggies now....(just holding Pickett's ting hand now..)

Probably nothing. We basically bought their 7th round pick in 2027.

We bought a pick?  It was money already spent.  We acquire a pick for a QB that was probably looking at retirement.

He clearly has no desire to play anymore, at least Pickett might still have a chip on his shoulder and a yearning for more money..

Wanted two 1sts but I'll take a 7th.

Are you serious? There's no way we were getting more than a 1st and a 2nd. Be realistic.

I'll take that 7th and run.

I’m not talking literally bought it. But when it’s all said and done that’s pretty much what we did.

Such a terrible move. Could have at least gotten 3 1st rounders for him.

Someone’s getting fired over this.

Can't believe we got anything for him

The front office continues to make intelligent decisions:

If they would have cut Andy, Panthers would have saved $150K in cap space

If they traded Andy, for anything even for a pick swap, Panthers save $2.1 in cap space

we just received a '27 7th rounder and saved $2 million for a player we didn't need anymore

Good luck to Andy have fun with Eagles fans if you have to replace hurts

This is my question and approach as well.

It seems great to get anything for Andy. If we ate his salary for Philly, it's more "meh" for me. I'm sure it lands somewhere in the middle but if we got a 7th AND Philly pays him, big dub for Dan and Brandt.
