Here's how the numbers shake out for the Panthers:

2016 salary cap ($155.27 million) + Carolina's 2015 carryover ($3.73 million) - Carolina's top 51 2016 contracts ($129.45 million, according to Spotrac) = $29.55 million in cap space

Cornerback Josh Norman's expected franchise tag of about $13.8 million will eat nearly half that, leaving the Panthers around $15.75 million to work with when the new league year begins on Mar. 9.

We've just gotta get a long-term deal with josh to make keeping this core of guys on the field for the next 5-years. 

Gotta get deals with at least 1 of our DTs locked-up and some of our OL are gonna get contracts too. 

Just looks like the same-old, same-old (building through the draft and signing upgradeable positions with vets looking for that elusive SB ring.)

BPA and Bup-Bup-Bup

Josh is not going to be tagged.  Ltd will get done. 

In the next 3 days? Because Tuesday is the deadline to use the tag and they are reportedly pretty far apart. It's possible but I wouldn't bet on it. If there's no deal y Tuesday then he's definitely getting tagged. Can't risk losing him for nothing in FA.

They can tag him and still work on a new deal all the way up to July 15. So hopefully they get something done

Feels like it's worth mentioning, but everyone remember that Gettleman is probably taking 5-7 million in cap space into the season. Whether it be for late/injury related signings or rollover, it's not likely we use all of our space. 

Plus money to sign rookies,  plus an extension for KK.

    • Truth. Like when UNC hired Butch Davis and then we get hit for recruiting violations. Like yeah, no poo. Dude coached Miami when they we paying like the 33rd NFL team. What did you expect?
    • He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
