#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.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
