Roughly 24 mill in cap space, who stays..who goes


Jmac

Recommended Posts

Team needs an overhaul, getting old and slow at many positions, jags all over the place. Approximately 24 million in cap space. Your our next GM (bye Hurney), what is the game plan to fix this roster and not break the bank.

I think this team was built over the past several years to beat Seattle and New England. 

During our success the Saint and Falcons built rosters to beat us. We need to start rebuilding our team to beat the Saints and Falcons.

The CJ move is a no brainer. The others could be negotiated.

Team certainly doesn't need an overhaul. 

Need to retain Norwell. Keeping Star would be nice. 

Other needs can be met via draft or reasonable free agents.

Getting Samuel and Byrd back.

Hall and Elder were basically red shirted.

Team definitely has needs, but not this black hole.

Offensive line will be solid outside of Matt Kalil if we keep Norwell.

sign norwell,

sign star if affordable

cut M Kalil. 

get playmaking NFL wide receivers that don't just fall down. (not though FA because those are almost always bust). 

get much faster at safety position (through FA if possible)

cut CJ, 

cut mike adams, 

ban Silatolu from even trying out for the team.

BTW what is the love affair with Silatolu?  One of the best thing Gettleman ever did and he brought him back.

Does he have pictures no one should see?

Spotrac has us just shy of 18 million in space and does not include the 18 rookie class as best I can tell. This does however include the 8.5 million saved by trading Benjamin.

Using that link will help you see the cuts that make sense financially. Take the current cap hit and deduct the dead money from it( dead money is listed in parentheses. You can spread the dead money over 2 years if you’d like).

“Team is getting old and slow at many positions”

But but but Gettleman left us in a great position...

Like this front office you guys can never see what’s in front of you until it’s too late.

WR is priority number 1 this offseason and any move made to free up space should be done so with an eye on a specific FA. Hurney also needs to find a legit day 1 plug and play stud in the draft (Calvin Ridley) to help save money. We can’t afford to find a bunch of below average players in the draft, we have enough of those.

Yeah let’s cut Matt Kalil and carry an absurd amount of dead money...

Brilliant

    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
    • He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
