Bleh, I was hoping it'd be more like 3-4 million. Kinda sucks that we couldn't squeeze out more from the deal. The official number isn't out yet though, so that estimate can easily be off.

Not really, I was expecting between 2-3 million in savings, the only money they could touch was his base salary and that was only 5.6 million or so. He's not going to have his salary drop too far down on the season.

I hate the guy but he's probably close on how much we saved with Jake's Extension.

Pat Yasinskas: Haven't seen the exact breakdown of the Delhomme contract yet, but I'm hearing the Panthers freed up a little more than $2 million in cap space with the move. That puts them about $5 million under the cap. The probably need about $3 million just to be able to sign their draft picks, so don't get your hopes up for a sudden spending spree. That's not going to happen unless the Panthers unload Peppers and his $17 million cap hit.

As I recall, "joke journalist" Darin Gantt posted on his blog a while back that it wasn't about the cap.

Their was alot of people hollering 6 million yesterday. We are not done because no way we dont pick up some free agents and right now all we have is enough to sign the draft picks.

I know right? Suddenly even those people have disappeared that claimed it was going to save us $6 mil.

People who thought that were misinformed or foolish, maybe both. You can't save what the guy isn't making salary wise and he was only making 5.6 million or so, 2 million off that means he's making 3.6 million salary this season and has around a 8.8 million or so cap hit.

Stafford just got 41 million dollars guaranteed from the Lions and has never thrown a pass in the NFL.

Perspective FTW.

Hopefully he suceeds for them, which I doubt he will. They should have gone OT with the first pick and DL with the second pick and got the QB next year. Oh well.

Lions are dumbasses.

Couldn't agree with that statement anymore. 42 Million Guaranteed and a 80 million dollar contract overall without a NFL snap......... Is Millen still working there.... lol

does jake really deserve more $$$ per year than Tom Brady?

That will change very shortly, plus Jake's been making more then him for a year or so. Brady's contract is still small comparatively speaking. That will change next year.

Brady doesn't make a Super amount of money because he plays for a team whose coach is better than any of it's players at what they do.

That team has had star after star on it, and they don't really pay out, when you go to NE you go for the chance to get some rings, not the money.

It doesnt matter how you cut it. This is a terrible deal. There better not be any real "fan" on the board who is not upset with the multiple terrible games Jake has over the years. He is pretty much good for five or six a year.

Heres the bottom line at the age of 35 we could have paided him 11m this coming year and been able to walk away at the end of the year if he were to preform as he typically does. Now if he plays the same you need to add another 9m to that number just to get free of him. So we spent 20m just to free up 4-5m this year in cap space. This is a typical panther deal and the reason we are always teettering at the cap.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
