I can't believe people are questioning receiving a draft pick for a guy that probably wouldn't have seen the field much if at all this season anyway.

 

this times a million.  our problem has been being tied emotionally to players.  i'm more interested in winning games.

This isn't an example of us getting away from it. You do that in offseasons and avoid paying them contracts they won't live up to....

I honestly think we could've gotten a little more out of this, even with the injuries.

Seriously doubt it.

Objectively speaking, Gettleman's NYG ties probably got us a better deal than others might have offered.

Love Beason, but you gotta realize the rest of the league doesn't view him through sentimental Panther fan eyes.

But we run the risk of getting nothing in return.  I agree though, we should have traded him before the season.  But for all we know, no one wanted him then.

How?  I thought when trading players, the team receiving the player assumes the money.

 

 

I don't know, I don't know much about dead money.  I was just surprised it was that high, if that is correct.

 

Dead money is money already paid to the player that has yet to count against the cap.

 

This happens when a player has a signing bonus. To help teams the cba allows them to spread the amount of the signing bonus evenly for up to 5 years against the cap instead of having it go against the cap all in 1 year. The player already has pocketed the signing bonus the day they sign the contract.(hence the dead money term).

Contract details:

 

Beason agreed to a $4.25 million pay cut this year while also chopping off the last three years, but the deal allows him to reclaim $1.75 million if he's active for all 16 games. He'll earn up to $6.1 million this season.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
