I expected a post talking about how much we have now that it's set and all sorts of good shyte like that. Am dissapoint

At the end of the day I don't get this poo. I don't get how teams have negative caps and still sign people. I don't get dead money vs guaranteed vs other poo. At least it makes more sense then the compensatory pick formula.

I am just one big disappointment on two legs.

So how much do we have now after the signings

This is the current outlook of the teams salary cap information without the Addison, Horton, Jacobs, and Silatolu deals included. My guess is that those deals will take up to about $30 million in cap space currently. 

There still could be a few cuts to be made like Dickson and Gano but that would save only $5 mil on the cap.

Currently made the adjusted to the $167,000,000 Cap.

Panthers currently sitting at $36.588 in space.

Side Note: Browns got over $102 mill available... LMAO!  poor organization. Money to spend but can't seem to buy wins.

Anyone know how much of an increase this is over last season?

7.5% increase

That's not as much as I thought, especially with the signings we've already had. We really don't have much of poo to bring in anyone worth anything. Looks like bargain bin FA shopping again this year.

30 million will possibly turn into 35 million with cuts to Dickson and Gano. Could sign Johnson with that money and still have around 20 million to sign a few good free agents. Could be more if they......cut Stewart.

We have to cut Dickson and Gano. They bring nothing to the team. That extra $5M can go to a starter at another position of need.

Plus draft has depth at TE and some good kickers who we could select in the 6th round.

All that doesn't change how DG and the Panthers operate. Even with the cap space the the browns have, DG would never go on a spending spree adding.multiple high priced free agents. It's never the answer.

We have room to work with. We have room to retain the core guys that are up for new contracts, AND  one blue chip FA that DG feels is a perfect fit. 

Our team is a very competitive team, and tough to beat when we aren't beating ourselves. We got that way in part to DG.   He will continue to build this team stronger, and he won't have to use multiple high priced FAs to do it.
