Voth's sources: Panthers have no intentions of signing second wave free agents

13 mil. Not even enough to sign our r [kies and extend luke and cam.

 

Extending Cam would likely create space depending on how the contract is structured. They could realistically go from about 13 million - about 20 million with that move alone.

cam as as cheap as he'll be.

 

If you use Flacco's contract as a structure that's not true at all....

The respective cap numbers would increase a bit as Flacco's deal two two years ago would obviously be a low ball offer now, but the structure remains the same. Low year one number to allow you to continue to improve the team, with essentially dummy years on the backend where you'll do an extension. Could conceivably cut his 14.6 cap number in about half. The bigger issue is getting to the negotiating table, which Cam's camp seems to have zero interest in.

i wouldn't be foolish enough to go by said contract.

I know cam is not costing us anywhere near 20 million a year. Reality says it'll be more than that.

 

Se the edit.... numbers go up due to inflation but no reason that it can't be structured like that. Eat the money when you have significant cap room in later years.

What other true needs do we have? By resigning our players, we've filled all the departing needs and we've filled ot/pr.

Our team was 7-8-1.

Once again, our fanbase's failure to comprehend that the status quo is not acceptable is rearing its ugly head. Just re-signing role players from a team with that record is not how you get better, it's how you maintain. The reason we struggled early and eventually lost in the playoffs was due to glaring holes that have yet to be addressed appropriately. Ginn is not a #2 WR. Oher shouldn't be the only move we make at tackle.

But, seeing what cheapasses we planned on being after Voth's first report, luckily, I decided to check the huddle every 12 hours or so instead of wasting every waking minute checking if we signed anyone, because we won't.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
