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?

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      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.
