Prior to the signing of backup center Gino Gradkowski to a three-year deal on Thursday and the official signing of third-string quarterback Joe Webb to a two-year deal, the Panthers had about $22 million in cap space. According to the NFLPA's latest numbers, the Panthers are $19.7 million under the cap.

With this kind of cap space expect Gettleman to be active in free agency this coming week. Just don't expect names like Weddle or Foster.

Just don't expect names like Weddle or Foster. Gettleman will sign a bunch of low 2nd/3rd tier guys that will add depth to our roster.

Although I would like to see him spend for a guy like Casey Hayward or Patrick Robinson

Casey Hayward intrigues me a lot. I think his asking price will be too high for Gentleman. Robinson would come cheaper. Boykin is another name is watch as a slot corner.

I think we will see a lot of value signings soon. Something is coming down the pipeline at DT. I wouldn't be surprised to see a TE brought in to compete with Dickson

Exactly. We need to understand that every day that goes by, the price drops for these free agents. Now that most of the top 100 FA are gone, we can go to work.

New NFLPA salary report now has all 68 salaries, but our cap space actually went up (likely an error correction) to $20,976,231. Less estimated rookie pool of $4,236,951 brings space to $16,739,280. Worth noting that any undrafted free agents (and there are normally several) would likely not count toward the top 51 salaries, save for small signing bonuses, and thus would have a very small impact on our cap space.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
