Antoine Cason a Panther- One Year Deal per League Source


Recommended Posts

It will be interesting to see where Cason fits with us. Last year, he and Javier Arenas battled for the #4 and #5 CB spots for Arizona. The Cards didn't even make an offer to retain Cason (they originally signed him for a one year contract worth $1.5 million). As for Arenas, the Falcons just signed him to compete with Robert McClain for their #3 and #4 CB spots behind Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford. Note Riveria only said this about Cason and Underwood: “These are players who have an opportunity to play a role with our football team.”

WOW

 

Gettleman did WORK

 

 

Now that's a contract folks!! You see that?? Its called value!!

 

:thumbsu:

 

 

It means he wasn't getting a bigger offer anywhere else. The majority of players are selfish and only want the biggest pay day.

 

Still, with that said, I think its a good signing. If dude performs this year, id like for GMan to lock him up.

Antoine Cason's 1-year deal w/ the Panthers is for the veteran minimum $730,000, with a $65k signing bonus.

Best part is he also qualifies for the veteran minimum salary benefit, which means his total cap hit will only be $635k while he actually gets paid $795k.

And since only the top 51 salaries count at this point, he knocks one of the rookie minimum guys out of the top 51.

635k - 490k (rookie minimum) = 145k net cap hit, and I imagine Webb's will be similar. Stealing.

He'll yeah dude. I think its smart of gettleman to avoid the FA splurge of the first week, and sign these cheap, hungry, role players to the cheapest deals possible.

 

I'm pretty sure this guy is going to perform.. I hope we have the cash to retain him next season.

ESPN:

"You need search engine to find these guys. SEARCH: NFL free agent wide receivers and cornerbacks that will play for pennies on the million dollars. Funky hairdos, inexperience and

unimpressive statistics not a factor. Google has become my best friend as the Carolina Panthers continue their Dollar General trip through free agency. Sometimes you wonder if general manager Dave Gettleman needs a search engine to get the lowdown on some of his prospects. It reminds me of the line from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance" kid as they try to avoid a mystery posse. "Who are those guys?" Butch, otherwise known as

Paul Newman, repeatedly asked. Today's shopping list of "those guys" includes Tampa Bay free agent wide receiver Tiquan Underwood, Arizona cornerback Antoine Cason and Texans wide receiver Lestar Jean. All three, which you would have to say fall into the bargain-basement category"

    • You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.  
    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
