Three of the top 6 paid players this season are on the defensive line. Yet here we are longing for defensive ends and interior players.

We need two stud rookies on the defensive line this season. Hope Hurn dog can knock it out of the park with a gem in the later rounds.

That table is a good example of how few "big money" players are really on each team.  I think casual fans overestimate the number of those.

With the limited number of big contracts teams can give out they have to make sure to be right on those.  Look at our top 10 cap hits, how many are living up to those contracts? Poe? Smith? Olsen hurt, Kalil? Shaq-will he get the snap counts to justify?

Mario was worth it. I'm not sure how much longer that continues to be true.

29.5 sacks over the last three season and 9 sacks last year as our only legit pass rushing threat. He's still worth that cap hit. Unfortunately, he's the only starting DL we have who is.

Good fuging lord...

short, kalil x2, Poe, Shaq, olsen, Smith, gano and butler all making free fuging money

what god awful players and GM managing

cherry on top is if Cam can’t get back (but I think he will) he’ll be eating money too

But if he doesn’t this is evidence it should all be blown up.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
