cap experts, comment on this

[Captain Morgan]

According to ESPN's Roster Management, Carolina is $9,660,153 under the cap. That could grow by at least $5 million, depending on personnel decisions and where the 2015 cap number is set.

We know Getty wants to address need in FA, and draft BPA.   This year, our number one need  is LT.  And the LT free agent market sucks.  

 

Yes we need WR and lots of other things, and I have no problem taking the bpa.  It just worries me that it could very easily be a situation where we don't draft a lt (would love to draft a rt to battle with our current guys), but realistically, how good a starting

lt could we get in FA?

You are probably looking at a 30 year old who wants to play 2-3 more years.  That is probably the target guy

 

then you try to bring in guys from the draft and guys like Remmer to make sure you have a 10 year starter by the time this FA leaves

Roos.

[stirs]

If healthy enough, yes

I don't really know how accurate any of these online cap sites are.  Looking at Spotrac, you could figure we could have upwards of $18 mil. + to work with with only about 5.5 million in dead money.

 

For any current cap figures I'm automatically taking D-Will off of it so I believe that's around another 2 mil. in savings toward next season.  

 

Also with the LT market--you have to consider as bad as it could be, they're likely still an improvement over Bell.

From Dave Newton's latest - "Bell ranked 83^rd out of 84 tackles rated by Pro Football Focus."

 

It's hard to imagine we can't find an upgrade somehow.

dont worry, soon as I scarf down these 50 chicken mcnuggets, I will be activating myself to play LT

Are you eating those nuggets with your left hand or right?

Roos.

 

Don't hold your breath.

 

Roos is the only obvious LT in FA right now that's even worth acquiring.

 

Titans tackle Michael Roos has played 10 NFL seasons and 148 career games.

 

As he cleaned out his locker Monday at Saint Thomas Sports Park, it sure sounded like he's played his last game.

 

"That's a very strong consideration for (me not playing again)," Roos said. "It has been 10 years and it's been a lot of fun, but mentally it starts taking a drain on you sometime, so we'll see.

 

"I can't complain about 10 years … and I was healthy all the way up until the 10th year."

Roos, 32, said he plans to take the offseason to make a final decision. He's still a few months away from being able to test the knee in football activities. Roos acknowledged it's "over 50" percent he'll retire, but he said that could change.

IS Bullaga gettting an offer from the Packers? He's probably an upgrade and LT right now and could slide to right if we got a blue chip talent.

[KendrickPanther]

BTW those PFF ratings are kind of dumb. guys that played 30 snaps with a -3 could be ranked over him. We all know Bell isn't a star but he's not 83rd either. He could have ranked better simply by being benched. Or sitting out hurt. 

[Zuck Fod]

Wonder how high Fitz's price tag will be. Most likely out of our comfort zone.

I get what you are saying, but he's still gonna be ranked 31st out of 32 starting LTs.

If Fitz leaves arizona, I imagine he'll want to go to a place he thinks he could contend right away while he could. Probably somewhere like Green Bay, if they lose Cobb.
