Panthers don't have the draft capital, unless Lynch capitulates and takes a 4th rounder. I get the feeling that the FO would rather roll with Jimmy another year than cut him or trade him for anything less than their asking price.
I mean thats basically it. Take the 4th, get completely out of his cap hit today.
Rolling with Jimmy over Lance next year is just dumb. The market has spoke on Jimmy. The last we saw of him wasn't pretty.
Time for this FO to swallow their pride and do whats best for the team.
His market is dead. No one wants to take on his contract. Their likely going to have to just release him at this point.
What are his realistic options? Carolina? Houston?
I think they cut him & he competes for a starting job. But he might have to settle for being a backup elsewhere.
Well if the Niners cut him, hes likely going to make under 10 million. So my guess is the team that trades for him does so while renegotiating the contract. Which is why I'm saying Carolina, and then basically converting his deal into a 2/30. Seems reasonable?
But even if they cut him, I'm fine as long as they do it now. We can get out of his entire contract if someone pays him. So immediate 18 million in savings, then an additional 7 as long as his new team gives him that much. Saves us 25 million to go sign players at positions of need.
