Captain Munnerlyn gets salary bump

At a time when the Panthers are in cost-cutting mode, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn hit on an escalator that takes his base salary from $565,000 to $1.31 million.

Munnerlyn said the escalator was triggered based on playing time over his first three seasons. Munnerlyn started the first 14 games in 2011 before being placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Munnerlyn, a seventh-round draft pick in 2009, now has a cap number of $1.32 million.

He earned the money, mainly on special teams but I really hope they find a replacement for Cap or at the very least not use Captain as much. Captain is great in very situational circumstances, great rotation-wise. Not only that, but Butler can do what Captain can, as they are very similar, no need to keep both.

However as a starter and even a consistent back-up he is not good enough. Captain should be fighting for rotation/third spot. I think we are one CB away from a decent secondary, but there are a lot of players in the secondary who probably would not be starting for another team and it is always hard to judge when the Dline is non existent/back up LBs.

Question?

Will Captain Munnerlyn still be due to get this money since he hit on an escalator,even if we cut him?

Yes. It was earned last year not for 2012. This is a bonus for guys who outplay their rookie contract meeting set parameters and get a bonus for their play. I think Stewart did a few years ago. The front office already knew about this and had this factored in. It was part of his rookie contract.

      In general, It's just unfortunate that he got hurt. But...I'd argue that all's well that ends well; the Panthers are in a better place in regards to the RB room, and, not only has CMC had the opportunity to almost win his team a championship in overtime of the Super Bowl, he's playing for a franchise known for solidity if not historical excellence.

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
