#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.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
