Probably will happen, not sure it does until the offseason.
Would love to get DJ Moore though. Young, reliable 1200 yd receiver under contract for this +3 is a solid get. [Reply]
DJ Moore is criminally underrated - honestly one of the best in the league, IMO. A top 15 guy at the very worst. He also has 3 extremely palatable years left on his deal. He'd be a HELL of an acquisition.
But if you're the Panthers, why would you eat about $20 million in dead cap over the next two seasons without getting a massive return? You'd have to get at least the 1st round pick that AJ Brown got back. And even then I'm not sure that's enough. [Reply]

He'd need to go scorched earth and demand a trade.
And I'd give up a first if I were a team, the Chiefs can't though. They're gonna need that to go get a LT likely. [Reply]

They only eat the bonuses already paid (i.e. signing bonus) so they'd be on the hook for $19.5 million.
His salary is minimal this year, which would be advantageous to KC.
The snag for Carolina really would only be that they have not accounted for 14.625 of that 19.5 on this year's cap and they only have 10.1 million in space with nobody they can restructure to take on the 4.5 million balance. About the only thing they could do is also trade or cut Mayfield.
I think that $14.5 or so hits next year, does it not? Only this season's bonus money hits this year - the remainder hits next year.
So they accelerate a bit to this year, but it's an amount already included in their pool. The remainder hits on next year's cap, IIRC. [Reply]

See if they'd move Kamara
Oh. O.City is back.
For a minute there I thought you were talking about giving up draft picks to acquire productive players in the prime of their careers with reasonable contracts.
Now you're back to normal, looking for redundant, expensive and declining guys with flashy names. [Reply]

The OBJ situation just lingers over them.
If that were settled, yeah, go get that guy. You could let JJSS walk (or stay I dont' care) and plug Moore into....well anywhere. He's good. [Reply]

I mean, he was just a 1k yard 10 td player last year. Did the cliff already hit? [Reply]
