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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
