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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
