over the cap had us at 17.7 prior to peppers and poe. So if that's right, then we're broke. I wonder if restructures and post cuts have been done internally and they haven't made public yet. that 9 mil may be backloaded AF. knowing hurney.

Pretty sure we'll make a couple post June 1 cuts to free up room to bring in vet minimums to cover our injuries . . . but honestly, we have to be just about done with FA at this point.  I don't see how we fit Ebron or Willson without screwing ourselves.

Best educated guess is roughly 7 to 7.5 Million  If you care to see how I arrived at that figure, keep reading below:

 

https://www.nflpa.com/public-salary-cap-report

Has 62 players accounted for and they say we have 16.275. 

https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/carolina-panthers

Has us at 62 players as well. They do not show Peppers or Poe's deals listed.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/

Has us at 64 players listed but no terms on Peppers or Poe yet. 

Being that NFLPA is the most legitimate source I'd use there numbers, then deduct the 5 million for Peppers. That would leave us at 11.275, minus whatever Poe's first year cap hit ends up being. 

Breeland got 24 Million over 3 years and has a 1st year cap hit of 3.9M. 

Poe got 27 Million over 3 years, first year cap hit has not been reported, however you can assume it's at least 1M more than Breelands (1 million more per year than Breeland). That would mean roughly a 5 Million hit in 2018.

11.275M, minus 5M = 6.275M

Now here's where the top 51 rule comes in. Once those contracts are added in, it will push down contract's valued around 500k to 550k cap hits and they will no longer count against the cap.  Thats 1 Million we can add back in.

which is about what we need to sign the rookies

so, why are we interviewing TE's?

Someone will get cut to make up for the cash I would presume

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
