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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
