Why haven't we made Godfrey a June 1st cut yet?

I think you answered your own question in the OP. 

 

Because it doesn't matter right now. Can't use the money until after June 1st.

 

No need to rush the decision. See how FA and draft shakes out.

 

Heck, he may just take a pay cut and stay.  We don't know.

Only 2 players can be designated as a post June 1st cut. This takes the current 2014 Bonus money and adds it towards the CAP the salary is dropped. The remainder of the prorated guaranteed money is accelerated to 2015 League Year 

 

My hunch says that Smith will be designated a June 1st cut if he doesn't take a pay cut

You answered your own question.  June 1st cuts don't help your cap until June 2.

 

If teams are definitely going to cut someone then it behooves them to cut him early so the player can start looking and the team doesn't have to worry about injuries if the player had to participate in minicamps and off season training since they would still be part of a team.  If they don't do it right away it is likely because they are going to see what happens in free agency or the draft before deciding to cut the player. Until they know what they want to do with Mitchell they likely won't cut Godfrey.  But they could be trying to restructure his contract.    

 

Here is a site with a discussion about salary cap scenarios.  It was done in 2013 but applies.

IMO, this hasn't happened yet because we don't know what we're doing at safety.  Both Mikell and Mitchell are pending FAs.  I know we want to bring back Mitchell, but we'll see what happens.  If we don't bring him back, what are we doing?  Forcing Godrey to take a pay cut and hanging onto him is one option.  It's not an option I like, but it's an option.

You realize that a player can be cut and designated as a 6/1 cut before 6/1, right? 

But there is no advantage to your cap to do that.  As I noted teams can designate 2 players who they plan to cut anyway as a June 1st cut before June 1st to solve the injury issue if they got hurt in minicamps, for example.  Plus the player can start looking for another team.  But the cap doesn't change until June 2nd even if you designate him a June 1st cut earlier than that date.

Right.  It's really a favor to the player to do this move.  It's one of those situations where if you know it's going to happen, you can give the guy a better chance to find another job.  If you know it's going to happen, it's kind of a dick move not to do it for your guy.  However, in our case, I don't think we know for sure it's going to happen.  I think there's a really good chance of it, but I don't think G'man is 100% on it yet.

    • Every year it looks like someone does a sales pitch to Tepper and that's what he goes with. It's also why it has been a horror show on the outcome side.  The hard thing about Bryce is he is likable so people not only like him but feel like they need to defend the good guy. If he was a jerk like Wilson was on the Jets then they could just have signed a QB off the heap to try and Baker into the playoff this year while being justified but not with Bryce. I can't believe people let McG scam them. I guess some people have money to burn and like to be sold regardless of reality. 
    • Fun game last night.  Defense on both sides really was good. 
    • alright im going to post seriously here for a second what you are seeing with bryce young is the confluence of some well understood cognitive phenomenon: mistaking what you want to happen for what is happening and working backwards from there (call this working backwards from a conclusion/cognitive dissonance, im sure im mixing up the terms a little here), and getting scammed and defending the scammer (call this the gregor macgregor affect i don't know there's probably a term somewhere, google is unusable.) People who care a lot about the Panthers want them to have a good player at the most important position in the game, and the Panthers gave up a ton to be in position to take one, and they took one, so that must be the good player. There is obviously an overload of available information any lay person can find that they can use to convince themselves that what they wanted was happening. to the lay person, it was aggressively obvious right away that it wasn't going to work out. it was clear halfway through the first quarter of the atlanta game he did not belong in the nfl. a bird's eye view of the season shows at best the second worst season ever. But people who really wanted something to be true cannot accept this, and instead pick apart details or blame things or wishcast into the future or move goalposts to defend it because they cannot accept that what they wanted and what they believed they had is actually....not there. People do this all the time. I've got a patient right now in late stage frontotemporal dementia and her POA just will not listen to me or hear what I'm saying because he was told I'm an amazing provider with inpatient neuro experience and when I look at him and say "you need to understand expectations" or "she has no quality of life" he just refuses to understand what I'm saying. The second is this weird trait we have where if we get scammed, some people will defend the scammer. if you get bored read up on gregor macgregor and the mosquito coast, but basically he was charging people to join an expedition to settle this absolutely poo stretch of land in south america. all these people either died or had to be rescued, but when they returned to their home towns they refused to believe they'd been scammed, blamed other things, or even blamed themselves. This guy was CLEARLY a scam artist but they could not accept they, smart rational people etc had been scammed. This is some weird vestigial evolutionary trait that helped a group of monkeys work together to take the watering hole and no of course there's no modern day political equivalent why you imply such a thing. Panthers' fans were scammed with Bryce Young. Tepper (david or nicole im not sure which) were scammed with him. Obviously it's more complex than one scottish dude drunkenly walking into a bar in Buenos Aires but it's a similar setup. And yes the stakes are lower than moving to the other side of south america but a scam is a scam is a scam. It is very difficult for people to admit that they, ostensibly smart, rational, logical people would believe and buy in to something so obviously rotten so the blame has to go somewhere else. Every problem with Bryce has an cause external to him, and all problems will be solved by /random thing that has happened the specifics don't really matter. Currently it's a guy who no other team interviewed for the HC position. if you read this and your first instinct is that i'm attacking you, you need to take a deep breath and reevaluate some things. this is an opportunity for personal growth and you should take it. surely some people will counter with "well it's just football it's not that serious and why does it hurt to be excited for something?" This is what's called a "though terminating cliche" and is just a cutesy little phrase meant to stop the conversation and help the person using it avoid defending their terrible ideas. and to the person saying "lol wow you typed all this up u mad," <puts poo posting hat back> don't judge what i do by your own limitations. I'm much higher functioning than you and this was neither time or energy consuming for me. This is a casual thought. I am learning not to hold people to the same standards I hold myself, so I don't blame you for reacting defensively out of a sense of wonder and inferiority.
