Will we be able to afford our defense in 2017?

I'm not worried. We actually don't  have very many big money contracts on defense right now, and knowing Gettleman, he won't allow our defense to get old 

this is spot on.

gettleman will continue to infuse good young talent on D from the draft and let vets go when the time is right.  This is the way good teams stay that way for the long haul.

If anything, we should be able to upgrade. Charles Johnson's salary is crippling the defense.

Yep.  By 2017, Hurney-era contracts like Jonathan Stewart and Ryan Kalil will be off the books.  As it stands the Panthers have $81m set in cap space in 2017, with the cap likely to jump up.

      Dan's been part of 5 drafts, 3 as an assistant to the "last guy" and 2 leading the way. The first 3 with Fitts were pretty ugly overall. Last year's draft, his 1st, isn't looking hot. This year looking like a winner.  He's been part of some bad FA decisions, some good ones, and right now we have the most expensive OL in the league with our franchise LT on the last year of his rookie deal. That's going to get even more expensive.  I'm not ready to crown him as a GM god quite yet because one good year isn't making up for all the bad that's been done the previous 4.

      It is what it will be. I’m over bitching about Young myself. It changes nothing about the situation to constantly complain about him so I personally am not going to do it. I’m looking for another target because this one is played out and it changes nothing.
