I dont know if this has been talked about yet since i don't know how to search it but do you guys think Carolina will restructure Delhomme's contract to open up some cap space for Peppers in case he doesn't get traded?? And if they do, do you think Delhomme will take a paycut to stay in Carolina??

I can't see Jake being asked to take a paycut, that would be an admitting lack of performance/confidence. it's more likely they sign him to a long term backloaded deal knowing he probably won't play it out.

Remember you have to take into fact the 30% rule on contracts now because of the uncapped year. So his contract extension couldn't be too back loaded. They can't really restructure either since he's in the last year of his deal. He would have to be extended.

I dont think they will restructure his contract at all, they'll let him do his thing this yr. and if he shows no improvement or they dont have a decent backup he'll be gone the next season.

I'm not sure they have much choice he has a 5.3 million cap number, it's pretty much extend or cut and he's not getting cut.

Let me rephrase, relatively backloaded.

They will probably extend Jake by three years.

For all of those who want Jake cut and replaced, who are you going to replace him with?

A rookie? Who has never taken a snap in the NFL. You do realize that most rookies struggle for several years starting out. ryan was an exception to the rule. And Flacco did not play that well...he just had a defense that was pure nastiness.

Someone like Brady Quinn, or Anderson, etc... The "hot " name of a back-up. Someone who has never proven anythign as well.

Jake is not a spring chicken and the Panthers do need to start grooming someone to be his replacement. However, he should and will start for the next few seasons.

Stop trying to interject logic into the discussion. You know that one bad playoff game totally overshadows everything else. Same as Manning in New York.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
