Kemo Re-stuctured

The Panthers have gone to NT Maake Kemoeatu for some late-inning salary cap relief, clearing up another $1.5 million worth of room by restructuring his contract.

Much like the deal with DT Damione Lewis we reported in this morning's paper, it converts some money into a signing bonus which can be prorated over future years of the deal. They've added four years onto the back of his contract (taking him through 2014), but realistically, both deals will be revisted next year or shortly therafter because of the bonus structures.

Stay tuned for more, as a relatively whirlwind day commences.

so that's 20 million that we had, 8 million from Gamble, 1.5 from kemo, 2 from Lewis, 1 million from Johnson, 4.7 from the cuts. 37.2

+1 million for anderson, +1.5 for King, 17 million to peppers, 10 million to Gross. 29.5

Ok got cap numbers from feb 12th we had 16 million in cap space, so going from there we started with around 20 million. Put's us about 7 million under right now, with lucas staying.

That's pretty amazing actually. Who would have thought that they could franchise Peppers and sign Gross, and still have any money left, much less $7 million?

Rob Rodgers is a freakin genius.

Awesome. 7 mill in room and we still will move lucas somehow, then possibly peppers. We will restructure Delhomme maybe...

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Basbear · Posted

      People forgot that the think tank thought enough of smith-wade, to cut the vet starter troy hill mid-season. Just happened smith just injuried soon after.  Personally I see no issues/PRESS THE PANIC BUTTON!!!1!1!! to take this group into TC. Of course Id love to have 5 all-pros at CB too, but this is the real world. Cuts and even trades happen once teams are going though the TC process. Just pray for health, like all other groups....

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'll toss my 2 pennies(rip) into this. I was not a fan of the Dan hire, I'd say 80against/20meh. The right hand stuff and being a part of what I viewed as the sorriest panther team in history...... The deal is some of the first moves he did saved NOTHING in cap space. He waived Bozeman, Vonn Bell, and Hurst.....That to me doesn't feel like Firererererere was listening to Dan to a high degree. Dan didn't have a 1st rounder which was 1st overall due to the supreme suckage. He didn't have 2nd rounder this past year which was a early pick right where the talent of the 2025 was. Plus the cap was not in the best shape.... The QB deal was in deep water as well. If you factor this extreme mess and analyze the current OL, DL, WR, and RB groups..... I have. Use your normal realistic cues. Even without playing the first game of this season, you must see improvement, right?? He simply could not fix all the problems, but the problems he choose to tackle... He did so like it was the 2003 Superbowl all over again. Factor in depth and age, those groups check the difficult boxes. Most of the players are young, locked in contracts, and there *should* be depth behind the starters. He's not going to bat 1.000, his mistakes have been pointed out numerous times. IMO, he does need some props for what I feel he's done right. Trade wise he's been killing the value side- extra future 2nd, starter level CB that's 28 year old for 240 picked LB that's bounced around the league, and moved up without giving the classic herniay future picks to land two edges whom are only behind QBs on the most valued chart. He also got a early 2nd and 2 5ths for a 8 sack-a-year edge that got nearly 30 mill per.  Sure its got to play out and positive results are needed. Still if you know NFL and been watching since the herniay&gettlegut eras, you got to feel the process is on the up and up. Im not talking in typical off-season hopuim fluff either.... It's not over by any means either(please give him until the 2026 season end), maybe this is a real foundation in the making, us Panthers don't even know what that is...... This could be the first real long lasting winner than us fans have never had in 30 years and we are witnessing it....

      I feel like we have some depth; we just need that proven nickel. Mike Jackson is a decent #2, but ideally we'd have a proven veteran in the slot. Smith-Wade might be able to fill that role, but he's far from a sure thing.
