Should see more of these coming in over the next week's. A whole lot of that cap money will be going to players already on the roster.

I just hope we don't overspend on a bunch of replacement level players.

A $1m salary doesn't seem like much but if you do it 5 times for players that you could have replaced for 500k that is an extra $2.5 that you could allocate towards keeping one of your high dollar players.

I'm not saying Jacobs is a replacement level player, and I don't even how much he is getting paid, but I'll be curious how this offseason goes.

This is one reason I'm not a fan of all the trading up we do.  Those lower picks we give up could turn into really cheap backups on 4yr deals.

He's not making $1M. Does it even say how much yet? He was released for most of last season and brought back for a few games after Kuechly went on IR. It'll be for the minimum not $1M.

I don't how much he is making and stated such in my post.  

I was speaking more in general about how some teams go about filling back up spots and Igo's comment that a lot of the cap will be used to resign current players.

I doubt the deal will be for the league minimum where you get the discount on the cap because they only do that for 1yr deals.

How many players did we have on the roster last year that made >$1m that could have been replaced by someone making around 600k.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
