Panthers Cap Trouble, Link Of Contracts

I say we restructure Charles Johnson's contract into one that gives him $1 million per sack in a season, plain and simple. Last season? $9 mil. 2010? $11 and a half mil. The year before that? $4mil. Then you could cap it at $15 mil a season so if he pulls a Jared Allen (I wish) we're not out like $20 mil on the year.

Probably not realistic but $76/6 years and being the highest paid player on our team is fuging ridiculous. That's Peppers money and he is no Pep.

This is not smart.

If he makes money, purely on the # of sacks he record's then you change his incentive on playing. He is going to stop playing the run, and go full speed at the QB every play.

Now if you want to say tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage then you may make a case.

However, he would never ever ever ever agree to this type of restructuring.

Bird in the hand.

Looks like Jansen's contract has been changed - just a type.

Also you can view base salaries by year here: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/

And 2012 salary cap hits here: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap-hit/

Seems pretty legit.

Top DE money is now in the $14 to $16 million range. CJ may be a little overpaid, but not by much.

Is it? That seems crazy. I just find it odd how everyone on here is so up in arms about Deangelo's contract when it seems to me that CJ is the most overpaid player on the team. Or maybe I'm just biased cuz he's the highest paid player on the team.

CJs cap figure this season is right in line with his production.

Jared Allen has a cap figure of $14m

Demarcus Ware is $10m

Julius Peppers is a steal at $11m

Elvis Dumervil is $14.5m

Dwight Freeny has a $19m cap figure!

Tamba Hali $14.2m

Clif Avril (who?) $10m

So there are plenty of guys floating around with similar cap figures and similar production.

edit: Just to add to that we probably gave him a little extra to keep him off the Falcons. You guys would all be raging if CJ was sacking Cam.

The NFL releases the salary cap information for teams and players once the contracts have been approved. If you have the media access from the NFL you can get the information directly from the league, that's how the sites like ESPN and Rotoworld get their information.

If you have access to the membership exclusive log in (certified agents/players) for the NFLPA site you can also get the information from the NFL from there by asking for it.

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
