uhh dude you know that Charlotte almost has twice the population than Atlanta, right?  Also, Charlotte is almost 3x the size of Atlanta geography wise....  

Charlotte 308 sq miles
Atlanta 134 sq miles

Really odd you chose to argue this one. There is no data that can support your claim here....

Sorry but this is a bad take. Look at the MSA population. Have you even been to Atlanta? No way anyone whose been there could say “Charlotte is bigger”

I think we’ve made moves to put us in position to take BPA at 39 and I would be cool with a pick at any position maybe except S and RB. 

At this point we’ve seen reports from people with “sources” who say we want Stroud, Young, and now AR. It’s all bullshit until draft day. If we believe Fitterer he and Reich don’t even know who the other wants yet but all these media types know for sure and they all “know” different things

We now have $27.5 Million in cap space according to OTC:

Not gonna pretend to know exactly how it all works but our FO seems to be making magic happen 

According to Over The Cap, this figure includes the Thielen signing and Shaq’s restructure which looks to have saved over $10M

Might be time for a throwback “On Notice” thread for the whole NFCS

It doesn’t say he’s coming to sign a deal?

What player did they miss out on that our rich owner got? I’ve yet to hear of a legit case where one team got a star player over another because of a bigger up front bonus when the player would have rather been at the cash poor team. Heck, these players are trying to just get to the point of guaranteeing the entire deal anyway.

Dude, try google: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2825044-nfl-rumors-raiders-arent-cash-rich-despite-cap-space-ahead-of-vegas-move

His wealth doesn’t really matter here at all. There is still a cap in place so you can’t use Tepper’s wealth to create new cap. Every NFL owner makes enough to all do this.

Honestly, it’s not a new concept. How many restructurings did Hurley do before? The reason it worked for the Saints is that they were restructuring their stars like Brees. We were restructuring Short and ended up keeping him one year longer wasting $14M more. We restructured Olsen on his last leg and again paid him a lot of extra money when he was done.

Anyway, any team in the NFL can do the same process but it’s still about the players and talent you have. Look at the Browns, they were able to clear cap in 2022 and only have a $9M cap hit in 2022 for Watson. That worked out great for them but they’ll be restructuring the poo out of that deal for quite some time and unless he starts playing at a Mahomes level, cash over cap won’t mean poo. Chiefs can do it with Mahomes and they’ll look like geniuses but in the end it’s still working because of Mahomes. NO’s cap magic worked because they had Brees, not Teddy, Sam or Baker.

It’s true that every owner is rich, but not true that every owner is cash rich. Mark Davis off the top of my head is believed to have almost his entire net worth wrapped up in the Raiders and is not cash rich, which has resulted in some disadvantages for the Raiders.

Can you please explain what cash over cap means?  I have seen this used a few times around here and I don't really understand what it means.  Thanks. 

 here’s a good explanation from the Pat McAfee show

What did we used to be?

A team we enjoyed watching, even if the result’s weren’t always great. A team that had a personality, and players who played with passion. 
 

Even though we lost last week it was the most fun I’ve had watching a Panthers game in years, maybe with the exception of Cam’s game against AZ last year. I know I’m not alone in that either. I felt like we had a chance even when we were behind, and that our players hadn’t given up. That’s been missing for so long. We actually looked like a team that deserved to be on an NFL field. 
 

I don’t know if Wilks is the right long term answer at HC, but I know for sure that I respect the hell out of what he’s done for the team since taking over. 

Has he made any public comments since being fired? Wonder if he takes an responsibility at all

Just tuned in.....and wtf is happening?!?

Lmao same. Went to lunch with my mom and basically forgot about the game today. She checked the score and I thought she was reading it wrong 

We have $115 mil in cap space in 2024 and almost $300 mil in 2025. I think we will be fine. 

I thought that call was bs til the Panthers released their mic’d up from the game. In it they showed the only angle of the play that I’ve seen that shows Burns hit Brissett in the head

Joe Brady to New Orleans calling it now

I don’t think it’s to loud. I can see how some might feel that way.  If anything it sounds like cr*p …. I’m in the upper level and we can barely understand what’s being said and the music sounds muffled.  It’s not clear at all. 

Agreed the sound in the uppers is really bad. I sat in club seats for the Eagles game and thought the audio was okay. We were in 514 for the game yesterday and the audio was so bad, we couldn’t understand anything they were saying. I can’t remember a worse stadium audio experience.

Any idea why Brady isn't getting any run right now?  Daley had two holding calls and a false start yesterday, really killed the momentum on a few drives.

I think Rhule mentioned yesterday that Brady did come in for a little bit

I disagree Cam has plenty left in the tank give him our Wrs which are the best he would ever have since being here and Cam's running and our offense is box office again.

Oh are we pretending Robby Anderson is good again? I can’t keep up. 

Someone inform me. Is there anything we can do with his contract since we picked up the 5th year option? We’re on the hook for all of that, right? So our only options are keep him on the roster or eat a ton of dead cap?

Special teams has been bad for a while now. Blackburn needs to go next year.

This year would be fine too, we can’t get much worse. 

If you post photos of half naked women on the huddle and expect them to "keep it classy" you're gonna have a bad time. You new here?

There have been plenty of people on this very message board suggesting Cotchery should not have a roster spot. Jeremy is not wrong about that. Maybe it's a vocal minority, but they're out there. 

I hope he and Fozzy both contribute at a solid level this year, and I think they're both capable of doing that. Fozzy has been a real weapon in the screen game, as even Ryan Kalil has said in recent days. I'm excited about both these guys. There's good stuff coming out of the RB room this year. 

This poo right hereeee
