#Panthers Top 10 Paid Players. CAR has the 11th least cap space w/ $26.8M, of which $119.5M (63%) tied up in their Top 10. Most of their top 10 players have significant amounts of dead money ($8.5M+) attached to their cap numbers, but restructuring top 3 can create more space:

CAR fans might want to get rid of CB Munnerlyn, but would need to find a replacement for him at $2M to realize any savings. If CAR addresses CB in the draft, Munnerlyn could be a post-Jun 1 cap casualty and add $3.5M in cap space in 2019.

I still think the best thing Carolina could do with Munnerlyn is move him back to safety to replace the aging Adams. Captain is a willing and aggressive tackler and could work much better in open space and assisting in coverage rather than taking on slot receivers (and we don't see many dedicated slot receivers anymore, but we do see WR1s lining up in the slot creating terrible mismatches with Munnerlyn).

The answer is on the team and it's Dante Jackson. We need a proven starting veteran corner. Most likely we go into next season with the starting secondary looking exactly the same.

This is a very popular trend around the league knowing it creates a mismatch with any #1 or 2 WR against a safety, nickle (at best) or a LB. Colleges are doing it as well.

What that chart shows me is that Carolina fails to pay players based on their expected future performance. That is what the team should be paying for, as opposed to paying players for past performance. When you pay for past performance, as Carolina has seemingly done, you end up with far too many players being overpaid for their level of production...and a pissy salary cap situation. Same old, same old, I guess.

Why the heck would they make Captain a post June 1st cut, that’s a waste of money.

Just cut him outright and save the money with the intent to address the nickel position in free agency or the draft.

We still have Cockrell coming back but Im not sure if he can cover inside. Plus other options can be evaluated at the position ie Corn, Doss and Gaulden. We really need a FS if we can get Reid to come back and play SS. Either way, I think we have seen the last of Captain in our uniform hopefully.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
