I only see 5 that I would take over Smith.  Explain to me how he is over paid again??

He's overpaid, but that doesn't mean those others aren't either. He should take a pay cut, but only if there is a better receiver on the roster. Right now there isn't. If he's our best wr he should be paid like it. It's not his fault they've done a piss poor job at the position. If we sign Nicks there is more leverage to get him to reduce that number.

If he were only going to be getting paid that much next season, he wouldn't be overpaid. It's what happens when his '15 and '16 gets that gets gaudy numbers. Basically, if he is on the roster after June 1st, I think his numbers go automatically on the books, whether we cut him or not, for 9 million in '15 and something even stupider like 12 miil for '16.

I don't think anyone has a problem with him getting paid 5 mil next season...it's what happens after that because of the dead money and cap hit that will kill us in trying to re-sign cam, Luke or anybody else for that matter.

Basically, we're pretty much screwed if we either a) don't get Smitty off the books before June 1st or b) he won't restructure.

I love Steve Smith to death.  His Jersey  is the only one outta the 4 I own that I've worn to every game, but the facts are this-

 

He is still a solid receiver.  No where near as great as he was a few years ago though.  Story book ending would be for him to go out on his own terms but the facts are that we have to have a changing of the guard and there are many receivers on that list that are in their primes.    The only ones I'd have no interest in are Hartline, Washington, Jennings ( past prime)    Johnson ( at this stage / good reciever but in the same boat as Smith but hurt alot.Amendola and others to many to name and to hard to read the list but-

 

Most of  all the other receivers are still legit #1's imo

If he stays it's 7 this coming season, 9 in 2015 and 12 in 2016 without redoing it. 4 million is base but there is another 3 that kicks in on July 1.

Those are all base salary deals.....so...none of those number included bonuses.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
