All you have to pay him is 7.95 million in 2013 and 8.9 in 2014. Since none of it is guaranteed you aren't obligated to pay him any of that and you will likely get him for a 3rd or 4th rounder. Pretty cheap really. If we were not in cap hell we wouldn't be letting him go,

Are you talking about us? Or another team. We can't afford him anymore and i dont see another team paying that much for the production he would have

For someone else, assuming they didn't renegotiate his contract as a condition of a trade. Our cap hit is 10.9 million because we are still obligated to pay the last of the guaranteed money. So for us it is too much but for a team with a lot more cap space who doesn't want to shell out a bunch of guaranteed money it could make good sense.

So from what i'm hearing from others we could essentially cut him, and then sign him for a cheaper deal assuming no one else snags him. What is his cap hit to just cut him? From what i understand some of that guaranteed money is a cap hit but you can spread it around? This stuff is really confusing, i've just now begun to understand it. I initially thought we could just cut him and not take that big cap hit.

Gamble is not over rated but he is coming off and injury and he is old by NFL standards. Not going to get much in a trade.

Depends on how you define overrated. He lived up to what we paid him to be one year.

If we cut him we would have the 3 million in dead cap space. I don't think we could resign him this year since he is not a free agent and we cut him. We could renegotiate or restructure though instead of cutting him. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

He got hurt. It happens. So he is over rated because we paid he before that? Maybe we can consult Nostrodamus before we sign the next guy to an extension.

2011 is the only year he played a season like he was paid to do...still just one year of what was a nice extension.

Otah was dominant when he wasn't hurt...Gamble got hurt, got benched for being a dummy, and was inconsistent early in his deal.

So now we are talking about Otah? OK.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
