whoa..Newton says we have a much lower cap than Huddlers thought

[Captain Morgan]

With the release of running back DeAngelo Williams hitting the books the Panthers are approximately $11.4 million under the cap, according to ESPN’s Roster Management. 

About $5 million of that must be set aside to sign draft picks, with another $2 million to be kept in reserve for emergency signings in training camp or during the season. 

So that leaves just over $4 million to spend in free agency -- or to be used towards signing current players such as quarterback Cam Newton to an extension.

Still don't know why we don't enter a cheat code to get more money. Its worked for me for years

[jdpanther5]

Well he's wrong about one thing, the Williams cut won't "hit the books" until June. You also have to consider that each signing bumps someone out of the top 51. So Oher's $2.5m cap number is really only a $2m hit.

You mean DG knew what he was doing?  Inconceivable.

Now that makes more sense why we are not targeting the second wave

And the screams from the whiner nation fell silent...for about 10 seconds.

Than we thought? Anybody that knows more about how it works than madden knows we aren't out of cap hell. Gettleman said THREE YEARS. THREE. NOT TWO. And its really not that bad especially after more possible extensions. We don't have many holes to fill and what we do get will be the cheap diamonds in the rough. We are and will be fine.

[Jangler]

pshaw.... we can just backload contracts. DG is cheap and doesn't care if Cam stays in Carolina.

[CarolinaNCSU]

False. The cap is a myth. Sign everyone or revolt.

I don't see how this is a surprise. They signed 12 free agents in the past month.

The cap is a myth. Like dry land in Water World.
