So, forgive me because I made a thread a couple weeks ago asking how we only have 9 million in cap space, well I am embarrassed to admit that I was wrong. Going back to "over the cap" website, the 9 million figure came from the dead money column and by mistake I read that as though it was our cap space.

I went and looked today and going into next season we will have 20 plus million in cap space and that's after our two franchise players are locked up. 

Will next year be the year we can finally be the kids that get the Xbox one/PS4 for Christmas when it comes to Free Agency as opposed to the bundled PS3 with a copy of Madden that is three years old?! Let's hope we can finally be players in FA now with both the money and the piece of mind knowing our two franchise players are locked up for the future.

Gettleman won't overpay (market value of players always to be debated) for anyone, but the odds of a higher-profile signing definitely go way up.  Depending on how the team performs this year (e.g. the WRs really stepping up, CBs regressing, etc), I think we could definitely see a bigger name acquired at a position of need.

Exactly. I don't expect Gman to go full Suh and sign a guy to 100 mill plus but a Torrey Smith type signing is reasonable

Would be lovely if Alshon didn't want to stay in Chicago and Getts wanted to throw a little money at someone. But a more likely candidate would be a Brian Quick or someone similar. Could also be a few decent OTs out there should Oher not work out. 

 

I don't expect to go sign AJ Green...but I do think we see our first "significant" signing.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
