Just checked over the cap.  That 17 mil includes the smith 5 mil.  

Just think we could have 22 if we didn't sign him, and more with some other cuts. But hey I'm not the Panthers GM, which I think anybody could do better than we have for the first almost 25 years

Now we have 12 Million... after Smith signing.

That was already factored in given that he was already signed.

He has a non guaranteed 5 million salary. He can be cut later if desired to save the same 5 million.

The GM knows, unlike you, that he can be cut at any time to obtain that 5 million.  It's about flexibility.

Why am I surprised that despite a giant topic about this situation that nobody looked at the situation?

If I was the GM, we'd have the exact same number of back to back winning seasons and Lombardis.

Is Torrey Smith's contract guaranteed?  I know we just exercised a club option but sportrac indicates that their would be no dead money if cut.  I'm sure we have no intention of cutting him but I wondered if he was guaranteed now.

It's not.

Torrey can be cut anytime. That’s whats being missed. He’s just insurance and a good presence.

the second we can upgrade with that $5 million he’s expendable.

its not a dumb move to keep him for now. 

If Short is going to show back up this year then restructuring him and Cam would actually create about $30 million in cap space total. Cutting Shaq and then resigning for a cheaper deal would save another $5 million easy(can we still do that or is it too late?)

The point many of us are making is that if he could be cut, which implies he's not worth his cap hit, then he should be cut.

It's better for the player, and it's better for the team.  But whatever.

The reason so many are freaking out about this move/non move, is we know who we have at GM and HC for this team.  Ron is known with sticking with vets far too long, and Hurney is known for making absurdly bad cap moves throughout his time here.

The point, many of us know there is a very high chance that Torrey is on the opening day roster at the 5M price tag...and man, that smells terrible.

    • Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
    • Nah its Rod Brindamour 0-11 in the Eastern Conference Finals under him.....   Three trips in seven years Zero WINS in the third round. 
    • I think I legitimately may be a cursed sports fan. I am sorry yall
