He's not stupid and has to know the teams situation. So to me this is code for I wanna be traded. If we don't get rid of him at this point I'm afraid theres another diva in the locker room. I always liked hardy but he is making himself a disruption towards any team unity by doing this. So asta la vista asshole

what would the dead money look like at that point?

We would save.

I think.

From here, JD did good work here....http://www.derp/2013/3/18/4118964/reasons-not-to-sweat-the-panthers-2015-salary-cap

Accounting for 15% of the cap hit alone, Big Money is earning... well... big money. At this point he's a 30-year-old defensive end, and making way too much. This is the breaking point in the deal, one where the team can cut CJ with a June 1 designation, and reducing his cap hit to $3 million -- saving $13 million alone.

Players have only a few years to make enough money to last them forever. Why are they considered assholes for trying to get that money when you see teams jettisoning veteran contracts like its nothing? If you command the money, you go get it player.

Sure you can.

Say you have 5 million in space.

With increasing space every year....

Sign him to ...lets say 5 years 40 million. 20 guaranteed.

Year one Salary 2 million 3million prorated bonus hit cap hit 5 mill

Year two Salary 5 million 5million 10 mil

Year two salary 5 million 7 million 13mill

Year 4 Salary 5 million 2.5 million 7.5mill

Year 5 salary 3.5 million 2.5 million 6mill

I didn't add that up, but you get the idea.

You can toy with the salary and protation of the bonus to get it to work however you want.

That's why lots of 10 year deals are really 6 year deals or whatever. The prorate the poo out of the bonus and just take a cap hit when they cut the guy, saving his salary in cap hit.

this dude was 1st round talent before he got hurt at Mississippi. His agent is the best in the biz for a reason. They know Greg isn't getting paid until 2014, they are just letting it be known that Greg deserves to be paid with the big boys by this time next year. Panthers defense can get by with mediocre corners as long as they have End's and Backers.

It's usually a one or the other for most teams not named Seahawks. Look at Baltimore, they have no pass rush at all, but good secondary.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      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.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      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.
