Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart's 2009 base salary will increase from $1.74 million to $2.74 million because he accomplished an achievement last season, which triggered an escalator in his contract.

Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers LB Thomas Davis' 2009 base salary will increase from $700,000 to $2.2 million because he accomplished an achievement last season, which triggered an escalator in his contract.

Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers DE Tyler Brayton's 2009 base salary will increase from $1.8 million to $2.1 million because he accomplished an achievement last season, which triggered an escalator in his contract.

I wonder what achievement Brayton accomplished?

maybe it was getting 4 sacks instead of 3?

If I had to guess, I would say it was starting all 16 games.

this would be a huge part of it.

incentives are a great thing in contracts. all should have them. cut out the guarantees and add giant bonuses for actually doing something.

Brayton earned $300,000 in escalators, the maximum his contract allowed, to increase his '09 base pay from $1.8 million to $2.1 million. He started all 16 games last season, totalling a career-high 4 1/2 sacks and 59 tackles, just two shy of the career high he set as a rookie with Oakland in 2003.

Given that people didn't even know who he was when he came here, I think he had a great year. If he took this offseason to work on his strength and agility he could be even better this year. He and Kemo anchored the left side against the run. With Johnson they combined for 10 1/2 sacks. A very good combination.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
