Greg Olsen's Deal Restructured

Recommended Posts

By Pat Yasinskas:

The deal was done several weeks ago, but I haven’t seen it reported anywhere. The Panthers have made other moves since Olsen’s restructure and they currently are the only team in the NFL with less than $1 million in salary-cap space.

The Panthers dropped Olsen’s salary-cap figure from $4.125 million to $2.4 million by converting $2.3 million of his scheduled base salary into a signing bonus that will be pro-rated over the life of his contract. The Panthers also converted a $2.5 million option bonus into a signing bonus that also will be pro-rated over the rest of Olsen’s contract.

Yet another reason why I'm not worried about the cap. I'd expect plenty of this throughout the offseason.

Pushing money to the future doesn't get rid of bad decisions in the past. Call me whatever you want for not being happy with being at the bottom (if not the very bottom) of the league in cap situation.

Any news if Gross was actually restructured or not? We need to extend Smitty too. Interesting how Yas said it was done several weeks ago. The Panthers org is so tight lipped, I wouldn't doubt if we have a lot more cap room than what is being reported.

Who said anything about that? We're talking about the cap and nothing else.

It's better than a franchise that saves up a huge chunk of cap space then spends it all on 2 overrated players.

You can be a fan of the Redskins if you want. Don't be ashamed.

We restructured his deal and still have the least cap in the NFL?

This has been going on for ever in the NFL. Nothing new and nothing to worry about.

Sure, we can manipulate the cap we don't have right now. But if they wouldn't have overpaid in the first place, they wouldn't have to restructure.

Well that is also true to. But it happens even to the best of teams. Redskins are a great example of overing paying a player that ain't worth crap. Fat Albert would be his name. :)

And yet again, no one is denying that. We are talking about worrying about the cap number itself. How it got like that is a different discussion.

You guys just like arguing about Marty Hurney, and im not going to do it.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
