Newton starts a series on how Panthers spend money

[Captain Morgan]

position by position.  started today with special teams.

not much in there, but I'll take anything in July.

From the acticle..

The Panthers have spent wisely here. Graham Gano is tied up through the 2017 season. His 2015 cap number ranks ninth in the NFL among kickers, which is about where he should be based on productivity the past three years. With the extra-point distance moved from the 2- to the 15-yard line, Gano becomes even more valuable because of his accuracy from the 32-to-33-yard-line where that PAT will be kicked. Carolina will have to deal with punter Brad Nortman and deep snapper J.J. Jansen after this season as both contracts expire. Nortman’s 2015 cap number ranks No. 24 among punters, which is a bargain considering in 2013 he set team records for gross and net average, and last year he still remained in the upper half of the league in gross and net average.

For about half a second, I was wondering why Cam Newton would be writing about the Panthers spending habits. 

 

Interesting series though.  One thing that has definitely improved under the new admin is cap and spending management.  Hopefully, that leads to consistently successful performance over the next several years.

Heh, me too. I thought this was Cam talking about poo the players have brought lately.

I wonder if Hurney sits back and thanks the stars his horrible cap management is finally fixed.  He can now go about life normally without the random "Thanks Asshole!" as he walks to his '98 hatchback.

gotta say, I'm looking at our roster and our draft needs for next year, and it's amazing how different it appears from just 2 years ago.  If our draft picks perform, we're looking at just needing a long term LT, 2 DT's for rotating, and a CB and safety.  If we can use last season's strategy of moving up in the draft to get quality instead of quantity, we could be in an incredible position come draft time.  Such a better roster in only a couple of years.  Give that Getty a raise.

 

 

the Mayo pick is still a head scratcher though.
