Rotoworld said today that Kris Jenkins would be the perfect candidate to make the Panthers Ring of Honor in the future, but I do not think there is a chance he gets in. It got me thinking what players will ultimately join Sam Mills in the Hall of Honor. The list that I came up with was:

Wesley Wall

John Kasay

Mike Rucker

Mike Minter

Jake Delhomme

Muhsin Muhammad

Julius Peppers (If he makes the Hall of Fame)

Steve Smith

Other names who have a shot or can if they continue their careers here: Lamar Lathon, Michael Bates, Steve Beuerlein, Kevin Greene, Brad Hoover, Jordan Gross, and Jon Besaon

Kris Jenkins was a GREAT DT when not injured overall in his career......Kris ain't the kind of guy you honor like that though. He kinda burned his bridge when he left.....even though he spoke a lot of truth.

Not a chance Jenkins gets it...not a chance in hell. If Moose wouldn't have left I think he would be the number one candidate but I think that the fact he left over money might keep him from it atleast initially. I'd like to say that Smith would get it if he retires here but I don't know if his fist issue will hold him up. Too early to say for Peppers, but I feel the same thing with Moose would hold him up. Rucker, Minter and Walls are all in the same boat of being great Panthers but I don't know if they were great enough to make the ring of honor.

I think the Ring of honor should only be given sparingly, and when it is given it needs to be given to a truly incredible person who left a incredible mark on the franchise. Not just a good player on Sundays for a few years, but someone who exemplifies our franchise. Our team is young and we shouldn't have a ton of statutes out front yet anyways.

I always thought retiring numbers were for the best of the best. The ring of honor I always thought it was for players who were highly thought of within the organization. For example Rucker and Minter. I think Kasay, Minter, Rucker, Delhomme, and Smith are all definites for it. I think Muhammad has a good chance of getting in and there is a decent chance Walls gets in. I think if Peppers makes the Hall of Fame he will definitely get recognized by the team and put in the Hall of Honor.

Don't all the ring of honor members (minus PSL owners) have a statute outside the stadium? I figure that's bigger than retiring a number, which we haven't done officially yet.

Well there are only two people in the Ring of Honor and yes they both do have statues, but I doubt that as the franchise gets older they are going to put a statue of every player who gets in. If they do then yes I agree with you that it should be an exclusive list. To me Sam Mills is not an All-Pro Hall of Famer, but rather a very big part of the organization and that is why they inducted him and retired his number. That is why I think quite a few players have a chance.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
