The Panthers have how much cap space?

Is there an "official" cap source? It would be nice if he posted a source.

Anyway, here are two sources that seem to disagree. The figure does depend on timing.

Albert Breer posted cap space from an official NFL internal memo last week that had us at $5.9M. So if you add the $1.8M from Torrey’s release then factor in two minimum contracts to get to 53(since offseason is the top 51) plus the practice squad that should put us around $6M and change. I’m thinking someone added in an extra 1 in front of our number by mistake because $6.5M makes sense.

9 million.  They are always a few days late after signings and guys getting cut but that is were to find the official numbers the NFL uses.

Says that is a top 51 report so wouldn’t include 2 minimum contacts and likely the practice squad which would total a little over $2M.

Practice squad players do not count against the cap number.  They never have.  The top 51 stays at the top of the page, even during the season.  They should change it but they don't during the regular season. 

The link and the numbers listed are the official numbers used by the NFL.  You can add and subtract things all you want but the NFL doesn't.

Practice squad players absolutely count against the cap

    • Anybody got a clue what this is supposed to mean? 🤔
    • I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.
    • I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
