Panthers surprise Cuts and Restructures?

I know there are surprise cuts every year, and this may not be a surprise to anyone but would there be a cap advantage to cutting Otah?

Also who has the highest cap hit heading into this year? They would be most likely to restructure..Thomas Davis obviously is going to have to make something happen, but i could see a guy like Gross helping the team out.

Otah is cheap and talented......and this is a contract year for him. Injury or not, he is an ideal player to have on your team for at least the 2012 season.

Davis, Wharton, Baker, Clausen are the obvious and easiest areas to work with. 3 of the 4 should be cut. Davis brought back for peanuts.

Also, Smitty could be extended to help with the cap. Stew's extension will probably be done at some point during the season. We have made it apparent. We will try at all costs not to let our own walk. Worst case, stew would get the franchise tag.

Any of the top money makers could get their contracts restructured.

Baker needs to be a definite cut.

Also, the Olindo signing is really hurting my head at the moment.

I can certainly see Wharton being a surprise cut, that's a good call..Although he gets paid for being able to slide over to LT if needed, and he is a very good Guard. They may feel like they could get better value starting Schwartz and spending the extra money on D.

well, he was the one of the 4 I don't think gets cut. Davis, Clausen, Baker should get the axe. They do need to rework Wharton though and if they can't then I could see them making a move there

Also just think about how much money we have tied up in the RB position. I love both Stewart and Deangelo, but Stewart is absolutely the better every down RB. Deangelo is a great RB though in his own right, and is a homerun threat every time he touches the ball, but he constantly gets stopped at the line. I dont know if there is a way to pay both these guys and keep the defense competitive.

Giving Williams that contract was a mistake.....the problems it created will become more obvious these next 2 seasons.

This is what makes players like Bell so valuable.

Anytime you can drag average or better performance out of someone making the minimum is so important with a capped league.

These players give the leverage and savings to pay the consistent, super talented players.

To have a great team, you need the Bells, so you can afford to keep the Smitty's.

However, finding and developing the Bells is the hard part.

    • Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.    
    • It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
