JR and Hurney are cap "gods" there is no reason to worry about something that is still a little ways down the road.

They will figure something out.

I read what you wrote and think breezing2anothersb.

It's not worth worrying about. Either it will get done or it won't. Either way, Cam won't be going anywhere if he continues to shine.

I think Stew will stay. Assuming Otah doesn't pan out this year, we will be free from his cap hits. I could see Dwill restructuring his contract (I believe the majority of his contract was front loaded anyway). Gross would also probably restructure.

At this point we have plenty of star power on this team and letting them go into FA so we can replace them with other FAs is just silly. There are too many factors involved when relying on incoming FAs and it completely goes against Rivera's philosophies of forcing players to work for their spots (any high priced FA is going to practically be handed their spot). Also with our FA history, even the good pickups only last for 2-3 years.

Keep drafting to find star players, trade the ones we don't need, use FA to fill in the gaps.

In regards to Cam's contract, you gotta remember that some of our higher paid players just won't be competing at the same level they are now, or when they got their contract. Smith will be like 35, Gross will def be on the decline and his massive contract will probably be up, Beason will be at an age where asking him to take a little less probably won't be an issue, Gamble will be getting up there.

Even with all that, Cam's contract will cause some casualties. If all goes the way it should, he'll probably be the highest paid player in NFL history.

the problem with them is that that particular organization has shown a total disregard for the rules and has done whatever it can to circumvent them. the panthers FO is a lot more responsible, even with their supposed irrational and irresponsible signings last year. call it being naive, but i think they have a clue what they're doing.

Even if we just so happened to be in cap hell when Newton's contract was about to expire, I 100% guarantee you a good portion of our team would be willing to restructure to make sure he remained.

And to be honest, I don't get the vibe that Newton is going to ask for THAT much money. I mean, he is going to get his, definitely. But with all of the sponsors he has, I don't think he'll be looking for as much as Peyton or Brees have/are.

Facts:

  • Newton will get his long-term contract with the Panthers when the time comes
  • Neither Newton, nor Stewart, nor any other player is going to give a significant "home town discount". This is an overused phrase that does not reflect the reality of the business
  • MH has a plan. It may not be the plan everyone agrees with, but don't think he hasn't thought through all these scenarios
  • Otah's cap hit, whether we keep him or cut him, will have little impact on the team
  • DWill's and CJ's contracts were not front-loaded. Just because we paid a lot of cash up front, that does not make it front-loaded. The bonus is still spread out over the life of the contract. A front-loaded contract is characterized by high salaries in the early years, and lower salaries toward the end. Paying a big bonus up front affects cash flow for the owner, nothing more.

Didn't we offer Peppers the largest contract at that time and he just turned it down? (Or something close to it) It's not like we aren't willing to shell it out when it counts. Hopefully when it's time to renew Cam's contract we can make him the highest paid player in the league if things stay on track. Only worry would be Cam not wanting to be here and I don't see that happening.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
