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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
