Guess Who: "this Guy" Is The Highest Paid Player In The League, And You Have Probably Never Heard Of Him

[Jesse]

Jesus fuging christ, too much for a guy who had only 9 sacks and didn't play the last game because he had "back problems". Which was a fuging lie because he went to party for New Years. He better get fuging 12 sacks this year.

You always seem pissed at everything Panthers related.

I look at this as a good thing...salary-wise...the worst is over. We still have him and D-Lo locked up for what 6 and 5 years respectfully? So when Cam needs a new contract, we'll have plenty...

His salary doesn't match his production.

I don't hate the money or the man who takes it.

[Munch4455]

Its structured to give the Panthers cap in the upcoming seasons. We had to pay what we did to keep him, this is the best way to do it. This way we dont have a huge hit every year, just one, then it lessens the blow for the rest.

You guys do realize that was almost all signing bonus, right?

Still a shitload of money, why front-load a guy who hasn't been consistent? That's the kind of money you pay Jared Allen, Osi Umeniorya or any other CONSISTENT pass-rusher.

signing bonuses still count against our cap

Actually we didn't have to pay him that to keep him. Carolina had to help Johnson pick his jaw off the ground bc no one was in the ballpark of what they offered him

[R0CKnR0LLA]

signing bonus isnt the same as frontloaded

[Tarheels23]

CJ brings it on every down.

Other than him wearing that damn Falcons hat, I have nothing bad to say about him.

Comparing other pass-rushers

Jared Allen six year- 73 million with a 15 million dollar singing bonus(31 million guaranteed)

Jason Babin five year- 28 million with a 5 million dollar signing bonus

Tamba Hali five year- 58 million with a 15 million dollar singing bonus(35 million guaranteed)

Ha D-Lo is still in his prime; you talk like his best is behind him. You don't think D-Lo will restructure his contract maybe as soon as after the 2012 season?

I trust Marty's "Salary-cap genius"
