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.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
