How much can be saved if Godfrey is cut this off-season?

If I'm reading this correctly, cutting him prior to the new league year would result in 3.3 million in cap savings and 7 million in dead money while cutting him during the 2014 league year would result in 2.1 million in cap savings and 5 million in dead money.

 

Under his current contract, in 2015 the cap savings (4.1 mil) would exceed the dead money (3 mil).

I really only have a major issue with three of the big contracts Hurney handed out - DeAngelo, J. Stew, and Godfrey.  Kalil is probably the best center in the league.  No issue there.  At the time of the contract, Beason was an elite MLB.  No issue there.  CJ is a very good DE.  We may have overpaid a bit, but if we didn't we would've lost him and had to face him twice a year when he went back home to ATL.  No issue there.

 

With DeAngelo and J. Stew, he should've chose.  Once he signed DeAngelo to the big deal, DeAngelo should've been the work horse and we should've either tried to trade J. Stew or simply let him walk.  You can't have two big money RBs.  Godfrey?  I have no idea what he was thinking there, though I must admit that both Fox and Rivera know D and both seemed high on him.  The guy must walk on water during practice because I've never seen anything special on Sundays.

The guy tore his achilles I don't see how you don't cut him. I mean do we pray he can play to start next season, move him back to SS and make sure to resign Mitchell? I doubt that happens. We need a SS in the off season unless we feel Mikell has more in the tank and will resign again for cheap. Maybe Lester continues to develop.

Really hoping for this.

Gaining 3.3 million in cap savings vs. 7 million in dead money against the cap is why we wouldn't cut him, at least under the current contract. 

 

I'm betting Gettleman has already planned to negotiate a new deal with Godfrey that will accelerate his guaranteed money and make it cheaper to cut him sooner.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
