Fanspeak Manage the Cap Simulation

[panthers15]

Yesterday I was able to pull all this off with our current cap space.

First, I cut Russell Shepard and Fozzy Whitaker, adding about 3.5 million to our cap space.

Then I signed the following:

QB 2: T.J. Yates: Tried for Bridgewater, but he never agreed to the money I offered. A homecoming for Yates, who has won a lot of games as a backup in Houston.

WR 2: Donte Moncrief: We don't have to cap room for one of the top tier guys so I went with young and promising.

WR 4/5: Jeff Janis (GB): Special Teams contributor, and also semi proven role playing WR. You might remember his 100+ yard playoff performance against Arizona a few years ago. This guy basically replaces Klay IMO, because he can catch the ball when it matters. (See NO playoff game)

TE 2: Tyler Eifert: I kept trying for a 1 year, "prove it" deal, but couldn't get him to commit. Ended up signing him for 3 years, with about 4 million guaranteed.

OG: DJ Fluker: Former first round bust, but still young, decent depth.

DE: Julius Peppers: My first simulated contract, as I expect will be Hurneys too

CB: Sean Smith: Older player, but still an upgrade at our current #2 spot. This guy has more experience than every other CB on our team, combined. Also 6'3"

CB/S: Antone Exum: Former college standout at VT as a safety. Had some knee injuries cause him to bounce around a little bit. Young, athletic depth that can fill multiple positions. 

S: Mike Mitchell: Another stop gap safety, but one that can play immediately if we draft another, so he can have time to develop.

I was honestly shocked I could sign so many players at roughly 22 million cap space. Still leaves us holes to fill, but we have Starters at every position, so we aren't in a position to rely on rookies.

what do y'all think?
