I quit following the situation as closely when it was made known that we're not cutting Torrey Smith and we re-signed Colin Jones.

But, according to OverTheCap we only have just over $15 M in cap space right now.

We'll need $9-10 M or so in space to sign rookies. So, as it currently stands, we only have about $5 M for free agency.

Are we literally not going to sign ANYONE outside of our own guys?

Are we rolling the dice with the Daryl Williams situation and hoping he comes back for cheaper than he was originally asking before we cut ties with Kalil? Are we seriously going to keep Matt Kalil?

I know more moves can be made to make some space. But, all indicators are that we'll once again do basically nothing to improve the team from last year other than draft people.

What in the actual fug? Where is our owner, that was espousing all this "being competitive" stuff? If you don't work to get better before the draft, you're hedging your bets on what you can get out of the draft.

I've never gotten into the whole MH vs. DG debates that occur here, but right now Hurney is looking pretty bad from a GM standpoint.

I'm assuming a lot of it is still Rivera, which is a problem that should have been corrected before now, too.

Am I overreacting? I swear, over the years, this team has taken years off my life, lol.

Just now, frash.exe said:

stopped caring about free agency years ago

 

it’s like watching paint dry from here

 

But but our owner, man.

We need to clean house.

It has to be a great environment if you're an average veteran looking to ride out the waning years of your career in mediocrity. But, if I was a young guy or a stud like Cam or CMC, that wanted to win, I would look elsewhere the first chance I had.

I guess Kalil is healthy and Smith is feeling young again....LOL. I'm ready for the house cleaning and if it takes one more sad year, it's a price I'm ready to pay. I dont mind not signing giant contracts on overpriced FAs but the plan so far is infuriating and I'm ready Booo them out of town.

Initially, I believed Tepper about building a winner...  now, i think his initial/sole focus is revamping the business and logistics side before he addresses anything else...  as if we're not operating in a business that is determined by wins and losses.  I don't like it.

The sad part about not having no cap room is we have a ton of holes to fill on defense. We losing our own FA's and not signing anybody to replace them yet.

For the people who say we don't spend that is false. We spend we just pick the wrong guys Kalil/Poe to spend on. Then we give loyalty contracts to Olsen/TD even though they are pass their prime. Those contracts add up and it puts you in the situation we are in now.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Panthering · Posted

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
