Travelle Wharton


Dex

Recommended Posts

Travelle was excellent this year. No injuries. Great play and you never hear to much about the guy. However.... He is getting paid too much damn money. Now I know JR said their will be no major F/A acquisitions in the off season and I'm not saying he will need restructuring this season but something seems a little off here.

He made $7,400,000 this year and is currently the 9th highest paid player on the roster behind names like Johnson, Williams and Beason... The end year is 2013 and it was a 6 year 35 million dollar contract. Now we have a few big signing coming up after this year like Jonathon Stewart and Steve Smith. Even if we lose/restructure Otah is anyone else a little concerned? He is 30 years old and has plenty of years left but the offensive line is really starting to concern me. We have no permanent RG and questions at both tackles. Meh. Sorry late night rant.

Wonder what we can get for him via trade? He may also be open to a restructured contract.
In my opinion he is our 2nd best player on the line behind Kalil and tied with Otah (when he wants to play and skip the Bojangles...)... So I do wonder what we could get in a trade but if he's gone....

Healthy solid line = :cam:

Stank ass line = :jc:

If not he very well could be done imo. He rated out as a way below average G and he gets payed like a LT. I love the dude but he might not be here come TC.

Bernadeu seems to play well on the left side of the line also Garry Williams is also pretty solid. Which may mean Wharton is the odd guy out, idk how much he accounts for the cap though.

What if he won't restructure? I never hear much about him so I'm relatively clueless as to his personality and demeanor...

He's a team first guy, one of the ones who paid for this past off season's work out. I think he'd gladly do it. Not many guys expect their contracts to go to full term, it hardly ever happens. That's also a reason total contract value is very misleading.

Anyway you look at it he's getting paid a lot of money. This isn't Madden Franchise mode.

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
