All salary cap, free agent info, etc can be found here: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/2017/

CURRENT ESTIMATED CAP SPACE: 62.7 Millon minus 7.7 Million rookie pool = 55 Million after draft class is signed.

Pending Unrestricted Free Agents, age:

  1. Kawann Short (27)
  2. Charles Johnsn(30)
  3. Tedd Ginn Jr.(31)
  4. Mario Addison(29)
  5. A.J Klein(25)
  6. Colin Jones(29)
  7. Lenoard Johnson(26)
  8. Mike Remmers(27)
  9. Michael Griffin(31)
  10. Chris Scott(29)
  11. Kyle Love(30)
  12. Teddy Willams(28)
  13. Ben Jacobs(28)
  14. Ryan Wendell(30)
Restricted Free Agents

  1. Norwell
  2. Philly Brown
  3. Horton
  4. Whittaker
  5. Bersin
  6. Young
We have 16 players counting 2 million or more against the cap. In order

  1. Cam-       $20.1
  2. Luke-       $12.7
  3. Olsen       $10.3
  4. Kalil          $8.3
  5. Stewart    $8.25
  6. Davis       $8.25
  7. Lotulelei  $6.75
  8. Oher       $5.5
  9. Gano      $3.8
  10. Coleman $3.65
  11. Solalai    $3.5
  12. Lee        $3.5
  13. Dickson $2.7
  14. Benjamin $2.4
  15. Thompson $2.4
  16. Anderson  $2.2
Depending how much cap space we deem we need, some of these players could be asked to restructure or be cut outright to save more room/roster spaces.  Heres how much we could save by cutting each. Any dead cap hit could be spread over 2 years. 

Player,cap savings,dead cap

  1. Stewart, 4.75 million, leaving 3.5 in dead cap,
  2. Gano, 3.1 Million, leaving 750k in dead cap.
  3. Soliai, 2.5 Million,leaving 1 million in dead cap.
  4. Lee, 3.4 Million, leaving 0 in dead cap
  5. Dickson, 2 Million, leaving 600k in dead cap.
Numbers worth knowing 

2016 DT Franchise Tag, 13.6 Million. Don't have 2017's number yet but this should be close.

Charles Johnson's 2016 Cap hit, 2.6 Million. This should serve as a good reference point if he decides to come back.

Ted Ginn's last deal. 2 years 4.2 Million. Another good reference point if he is brought back.

36.7 Million. This would be our cap space if we resigned Johnson and Ginn to their previous deals, signed the rookie class and Franchised Short.  (This is before any cap savings moves are made via extensions, restructures or players being cut. 

2017 Draft Picks

We will have 8 total picks this year. We will retain our 1st-6th picks(barring trades), plus pick up a compensatory for Norman. We will get one of the Brown's 7th round choices and previously traded our own 7th this year to the Seahawks for Norwood.

2018 is the year we owe the Browns our 4th for Andy Lee.

 

 

 



We pay Gano's useless a** 3.8 mil?!? I'm sorry but that dude isn't worth half of that after his performance this year.

Awesome breakdown!!

Stew, Gano and CJ are gone IMO.

I think Gano should stay, honestly, but he missed some real dayum important ones this year. I just dont know if we can find a guy better.

KK will be the talk of the offseason... and, like Norman, the talk of next season too.

Thank god we are talking about it now and not after his probowl year.

We have our "pillars" locked already. It is time for a FA splash.

Im in the trade KB and sign Alshon camp.

KB just seems, for lack of better words, lazy and stupid.

The stats, tho, give him trade value.

We got their 7th this year and they got our 4th next year in the deal. I don't know if their 7th is the actual 1st pick in 7th or a different one.

Next year. We also got back a 7th rounder in this year's draft (replacing the one we traded for Kevin Norwood).

 

Great.. I was thinking it was this year and was going to suck having such a high pick in the round and giving it up.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
