TD has a hurt Foot Dont know how serious.?

Your understanding of the situation in failing you. I suggest you go back an d read the article about his contract. Davis does not have an 8 million cap hit this year. The signing bonus is prorated in regards to cap hits over the life of the contract despite the money actually being payed up front. By restructuring his contract they actually lowered his cap hit for this year by almost a million. So no this didn't prevent them from signing anyone it actually helped them to have more money to spend in FA.

Floppin you are right. I messed that up. But the cost for TD for this year is still 8 mil regardless when it is paid out.

Right but the point is that one way or another he was going to be on the books this year and by doing this new contract they actually lowered his cap hit. They also potentially locked up a really talented LB for the rest of his career for super cheap all while adding a caveat protecting themselves from the rest of the contract if he is unable to perform in his first year. So Davis' contract does not hurt the Panthers in any way whatsoever.

Thread title should be changed to "TD's foot is fine. Nothing to see here."

For those of you that don't understand how the salary cap works, I suggest going to thread where I posted an article:

We will just have to wait and see how he performs. My objective, non-homer opinion says that he has a roughly 25% chance of returning to the player that he was, a 25% chance of being healthy but no longer an impact player, and a 50% chance of washing out of the league either due to injury or lost physical skills. With those odds, I wouldn't bet 8 mil on him.

There is a 100% chance you are ass-talking again and a 12% you will realize it and maybe a 4% chance you will get it. As much as you would hate to have to believe it, Hurney is smarter than you and your lil butt-buddy cra. You guys are the epitome of armchair GM's.

anything after the "but" is irrelevant.. glad you see where I'm coming from on most of your opinions..

How is this not clear? Floppin cannot be any clearer.

Some people still do not understand the difference in cash spent in a year and the Cap hit for that year.

It is not rocket science.

precisely the reason why irrational panther fans need set straight.. as sad as it is, they represent Panther fans everywhere...

I am really starting to become embarrassed of the huddle lately. To have TD take a subtle shot at us because of this is just showing how low this place has gotten recently.

Seriously, I have been around this board since it first started (within a month or two) and it has never been this bad. I've never seen things so out of hand and so many people talking out of their ass. This is really sad.

They're saying it was his cleats causing the issue. Looks like we can step back from the ledge for now.
