The guaranteed Cam $$ pissed me off at first blush until I understood when and how it was structured.  Now that I have read, watched, read again, watched again the whole thing, Davey-boy did well.  Very well.  And everybody is happy in both camps.

What comes next?

CJ restructure?  TD extension?  Signing Norman long term?  Surprise Kuechly-year-early extension?

Lot of $$ floating around in 2016 and 2017.  Dave is no dummy and has played the cap like a fiddle.

What is the Hebrew Hammer's next move?  My vote is Norman then Luke.

What say you Roaring Riot wannabes?

Has to be TD, I love Norman but wanna see if he can play like last season or better.

CJ would free up money and keep a core player, but I think you take the hit now and see how the young guys play. Getting frank back could be huge. Also if all goes well we can have high level play for cheap the next few years by letting CJ walk.

I would handle Luke's contract, as far as timing like he did with Cam. We had options with it. 

I am fuging pumped about resigning Cam.

I think Kawann Short will get extended next bc Luke has that 5th year option we exercised that Star also has. Kawann was a 2nd rounder with no option. 

Kawann could be extended before Norman(possible walk if unreasonable due to premium diva-position), then Kuchley.  Gettles will want to lock in the D line. 

TD on a 2 yr extension? It is possible but his replacement was drafted. 

-I see us drafting a bunch of DEs to offset the possible loss of CJ. A restructuring is due but for 2-3 years probably.

Five year players: Mario Addison (signed through 2016), Richie Brockel (signed through 2015), Colin Jones (signed through 2016)

Four year players: Nate Chandler, Luke Kuechly (signed through 2016), Kyle Love, Josh Norman (signed through 2015), Brad Nortman (signed through 2015), Chris Scott, Amini Silatolu, Jordan Todman, Teddy Williams

FYI - Luke's 5th year option is 11.1 million, guaranteed.

Kawann Short is in his 3rd year. Thomas Davis is a FA in 2019. So there's no rush on either of these.

Frank Alexander signed a 4 year contract in 2012. He'll be a FA in 2016. Even though panthers.com lists him with 3 years experience, because of the suspensions maybe.

My guess of who's next ---> Brockel, Norman, Nortman, Alexander. Norman being the biggest.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.

      If everything played out and that last thing happened, I probably just quit.
