A look at the cap hit from our players.

Thomas Davis has a cap hit of $11.9 million in 2012, release him and we're back under the cap.
they won't release him.

they will restructure that deal.

btw...8.25mil of that cap hit is due to an option bonus. if they pick up that option then his hit will be there. they put that in just in case he didn't do well or wasn't healthy, which he wasn't. they won't be picking up that option.

he'll either be released or restructured, but he won't be kept under that same contract.

I wont claim to be an expert on cap stuff and I will need factual links/info to believe any of you mouthbreathers.

Looks to me we could:

Release TDavis and resign cheaper.

Extend Wharton

Extend Steve Smith

Cut Baker

and be sitting really comfortable under the cap.

That has a lot to do with him being near the end of a contract.

Not that facts have a place around here lately.

"LOLZ WHURTON MAKS MOAR THEN JARHI EVANS >>>!>!> LOLOLOL"

lol.. Naw, I don't mind how much or how little our players get paid. It's not my money. Just thought it was interesting that Wharton is making more than Evans, this year anyway.

Im pretty confident they will need to release him and sign him back at a lower rate.
yeah, i edited my previous post to include this...

this was written by yas before TD got hurt again

The Panthers renegotiated Davis’ base salary this year down to $1 million, but they gave him a $7 million signing bonus right up front. That brings Davis’ cap figure down to $2.4 million for this year, after it originally was scheduled to be $3.8 million.

The real key will be how Davis performs this season. If he fares well, he’ll be well paid going forward. If he struggles, Davis probably won’t be with the Panthers next season. That’s because his deal includes an $8 million option bonus for 2012. If the Panthers pay that bonus, they’ll also be paying bigger salaries to Davis down the road.

His 2012 base salary is $2.25 million and it jumps to $4.25 million in 2013. The base figure jumps to $5.75 million in 2014 and $7.25 million in 2015.

Bottom line here is the Panthers have secured their rights to Davis for the short term. If he’s able to fully recover, he’ll be taken care of for the long term.

the contract was written just in case he was going to stay healthy but was given so that they would have an out if he didn't.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
