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.

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
