That is what I have been reading (this is before they figure out what to do with C.J). Money is in your hands....how would you spend or not spend it?

Sign Coples for the cheap, sign Mario Williams for 5-7 Mill for two years, release CJ, sign Toldozer for 2-3 more years, and maybe a tackle to push Oher on the left side, like Williams will push Remmers.  Save the rest for the draft, and if injuries occur during the off season/regular season.

Word has it Coples left without a contract....which is not promising.

Can they get offered one yet, I thought they had to wait until March 7?

I believe he and other players released by a team can be signed now because he's no longer under contract to any team.  We did the same last year with Ginn & Oher, I think.

Thanks for the info. Then come on down Mario

They have to allocate 5-6 million for the rookie class I believe.  So you're looking at 7-8 million to spend. This is before any thing done with CJ.  If CJ takes less money this number could fluctuate higher. 

 

What I'd like to see is depth in the D line and secondary. And one free agent wide out with great hands. We need a sure handed wide out. I'll like to see Short locked up now.

Question:  What cap implications are there to locking up a contract with Short this offseason?  I've still not really done research to understand how NFL contracts work. 

Given that Short still has one more year under contract, if he were to sign an extension for a pretty major contract (10 mil+ per year) now, is it possible to defer that cap hit until 2017, or does that money need to be available in our cap for this season?

You could defer the salary until later seasons, but the bonus is spread out evenly over the length of the contract. So if he gets a significant signing bonus, it would affect this year's cap.

Also, Gettleman usually keeps about $5 million for emergency signings in training camp.

Only need about $2M in cap room to sign the rookie class due to how the top 51 rule works. Being at the end of the 1st makes that very manageable.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
