2015: These players if cut in the 2015 league year will currently net us huge sums of cap space and take their future cap numbers off the books. These are those contracts.

 

Charles Johnson saves the Panthers $8,580,000 in cap space in 2015 if released, he will also save them $12,420,000 in 2016.

 

Thomas Davis saves the Panthers $4,500,000 in 2015 if released. He has the 2016, '17, and '18 years voided on his contract.

 

Greg Olsen saves the Panthers $4,300,000 in 2015 if released. He has the 2016 and 2017 years voided on his contract.

 

DeAngelo Williams saves the Panthers $733,333 in 2015 if released. His following two season's are voided. He would likely be released after 2015 regardless.

 

We would save $18,113,333 in 2015 by cutting all these players. Which then could be used to sign them to even more team friendly deals. I doubt Olsen gets cut however. His production matches his pay.

 

2016: Only two players would currently be in danger of being cut for financial reasons in 2016.

 

Ryan Kalil saves the Panthers $4,392,000 in 2016 if released. His following two seasons are already voided.

 

Jonathan Stewart saves the Panthers $2,250,000 in 2016 if released, he would likely be a June 1st cut. He will also save the Panthers $8,250,000 in 2017 if cut, obviously if he is designated as a June 1st cut, that number would shrink.


I used cross references from http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/ and Salary Cap Calculator - Over the Cap.

 

With Gentleman's conservative GM style, how do you guys feel these players will fair in regards to their future with the team? There is hope for renegotiations with some players like Greg Olsen and Ryan Kalil. There is a giant question mark hovering over Charles Johnson. We also all can't wait to be done with J. Stew and DeAngelo's contracts.

Lets get through this offseason first

 

Oh cool, lets get back to D-Jax and Gettlemania threads.

 

EDIT: This also deals with weather this is the last season for a lot of these players in a Carolina Panther uniform. I made this thread after realizing this might be the last season we see T. Davis here.

I think if Hardy gets signed long term CJ might be gone. Olsen always produces. Williams produces still.

Stewart I wouldn't miss. It's like he's already gone just taking up money.

I would really miss Kalil. I've seen him make some great plays. One that sticks out, Newton threw an interception he tosses the DL out of the way and bear hugs the CB to the ground.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
