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


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    • One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup. 
    • We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)
    • My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
