    Why did the Panthers pick up Darnold's 5th year option?

    in WildWest Football Board

    I don't think they had to.


    it's not like the niners picked up any kind of option on the SCHNOZ. Looks like it's better to have your teammates like you. huh.


    Is it for salary cap reasons? Not sure how any of that stuff works.


    I read somewhere it means Darnold gets 18 million guaranteed. Not bad. huh. sc

    They have him for 2 years now. This season and next. I’d work back from there. Jets exercised 4th year last year.

    Panthers exercised 5th year (for 2022 season) this week.

    Still doesn't make sense to me.


    He originally signed a 4 year rookie contract with a fifth year option.


    That's 2018 2019 2020 this year 2021 and the option year of 2022. right?


    So he would be a free agent in 2023 no matter what instead of 2022. Right?


    So the Panthers paid him 18.8 million just to lock in one year 2022 and he is supposedly competing for the job with TB? Really. Wow. Nice guys. Really nice guys. lmao. sc

    If they didn’t he wouldve been a FA in 2022. This year was exercised last year. Believe cap hit is $8-9M Not $18M. That part I don’t know how to do. prob has to do with original signing bonus?? idk

    what if they decided to not pick up the fifth year option?


    Did that mean Sam was a free agent?


    again, I am not sure how this works.



    also does this mean that the Panthers take an 18 million hit on their salary cap?



    shit seems way too complicated. sc

    They did have to pick it up in next 30 days or so. This shows they are all in on Sam!!! $18.8M to be exact. That ain’t chump change .Nice. Fight On


    PS Rhule wanted to go to Jets and Sam a few years back. But wanted to bring more staff and Jets said no. so he went to Carolina and for Jets, Gase said yes. Seems like Rhule

    likes the Ginger.
