The Panthers MUST spend money in the next 2 years

The Panthers are 2nd in the league in NOT spending money (second only to the Raiders) over the last 2 years. Others have mentioned that we must spend 90% of the cap but the deadline is looming....2016.

Of course we have some big contracts looming so that helps. But the implication of the following article is that we need to spend and spend enough in the next 2 off seasons to get is up to almost 90% of the cap. So perhaps we may be compelled to shop at Macy's as opposed to Target or Tiffany's.

Can't remember the thread title, but this was discussed last week after David Newton had an article about it. 

 

A lot of old contracts/dead money meant we couldn't spend money. As the OP says, that'll change next year with Cam, then Luke, TD, Olsen possibly as well, and a potentially loaded 2016 FA class.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
