$1M less than projected in Panthers cap space

The NFLPA just released the final adjusted cap figures and the Panthers came in at just under $158M which is $1M less than the projected $159M than the cap websites had. The column showing adjustments from 2015 is where this is shown and the Panthers had a negative adjustment of $1,008,059 from 2015.

The reason for this is something called "not likely to be earned" incentives(NLTBE) that players on the team hit in their contracts last year for either winning, stats or making the pro bowl. Any incentive that did not occur in the prior year is considered to be NLTBE for the purposes of the salary cap and is not counted on the salary cap.. If the players then hit the incentive it is then taken off the following years cap. After a relatively poor year in 2014 and not many pro bowlers, it is expected that we would have a number of NLTBE incentives that hit after going 15-1, making the Super Bowl and having a record number of pro bowlers.

"Likely to be earned" incentives(LTBE) function in the opposite manner. They are counted on the current year's cap and if they don't hit, they are then credited to the following years cap.

For example, if Cam had an incentive for making the pro bowl in 2015 then it would be considered NLTBE because he didn't make the pro bowl in 2014 and would not be counted on the 2015 cap. If he has one in 2016 then it is considered to be LTBE because he made the pro bowl in 2015 and would be counted on the 2016 cap.

      QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

      I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL.

      Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.

      He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
