Jerry Richardson may be why Dave Gettleman is cheap

An owner gains nothing or loses nothing while under the cap. The NBA is a bit more punitive on being over the cap.

I just don't like losing key players with NOTHING in return.  Wouldn't you rather get 50 bucks for that old hutch on Craigslist instead of putting it on the side of the road?

There were some really good FAs that could have been had for cheap.. one example is russell okung who signed with denver for a 1 year 5 million contract.. I just feel like gettleman has whiffed on some real opportunities to help the team win now.

And we paid 7 mil a year for Oher. Smdh

If we suck this year it may be worth it if it shows Gettleman that his strategy to replace pro bowl  expensive players on their second contracts with rookies and little known players isn't working. He got such a big head having success the past two years it might deflate his just a little. Sure I want to win out and go to the Super Bowl and blow that big head even bigger. But if That doesn't happen there could be a silver lining somewhere.

Who was available?

Josh Norman, Whitner, any RT not named Remmers, any backup RB not named Artis-Payne, any cornerback but the ones we've put out there besides Bradberry, several options at DE thay were better than what we have and were affordable.  I'm not drudging up an entire list of people we discussed all offseason, but they were there.  They just wanted to be paid a little more than peanuts.

Good article, Cookie.

I will say this, though. I don't like a few things JR has done, but I don't put this mess on him. Most of the blame goes to Mr Hogmolly himself. IMO, he got big headed with previous successes. I knew he was feeling himself a bit too much when he announced big time agents don't scare him. That is something he should've kep to himself.

maybe i just don't understand how the salary cap works, but if you're under the cap, where does that extra money go? 

Some of it will carry over, but most of it is just money sitting on a desk. As long as the Panthers have spent more than 89% of the cumulative salary caps from 2013 to 2016, they can use this money next off season to sign players.  Keep in mind that if they exceed  spending after using all this carry over for the following season, they will have to cut several players in 2018. There is a reason a team like the Broncos chooses not to carry over their full amount each season.

Teams should budget their money to invest 75 to 80% of the cap in 10 to 12 players they consider as key. You do not even want to see who the top 12 players are for the Panthers when it comes to investment. Half of them should not even be in the top 12 player investments.

Gettleman shot himself in the foot with the way he handled Steve Smith. He now has a reputation among many players and agents in the NFL. He will never land any significant 1st tier free agents over the age of 26.

Okung, Freeney, Chris Long, Weddle, Boldin, Andre Johnson, and Fairley.

The tender on Remmers, the extension for Oher, the signing of Soliai and the extension for Coleman were all bad. The money could have been spent elsewhere for a stronger future.

Or when he came out before the super bowl bragging about not replacing KB after he got hurt

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
