Personnel / Cap Update (Projected Starters / Depth Still Here)


SetfreexX

Recommended Posts

Well we've seen the option for Wright not picked up and Poe's team option being declined has been reported, so that queues the question, just who do we still have on the roster -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/ 

(Declining Poe's option would see our available cap space around 44M with just 4.3M dedicated to the rookie class -- so 40M to spend, there is also another 3M available for releasing Mike Davis this is likely to happen, so that would elevate us to 43M, even with the dead money being held against us, that is a respectable amount to work with)

Offense 

QB-

Cam Newton (Age 30) / Will Grier (Age 25)

HB-

CMC / Mike Davis (saves 3M) / Jordan Scarlett

FB-

Armah

WR-

Moore / Samuel / Zylstra

TE-

Thomas / Manhertz

T-

Little / Daley / Moton

G-

Turner

C-

Paradis / Larsen

--------------------------------------------------------

Defense

IDL-

Hamilton

DE-

Short / Obada

Edge-

Burns / Miller / Haynes

ILB-

Thompson / Carter Jr. / Smith / Kunaszyk

CB-

I cannot wait for free agency to start, and not because of a ''splashy signing'' I'm truly interested to see what spots we fill, which should subsequently give us an early idea of what we're looking at via the draft. 

With the combine out of the way, team private visits. and Pro days will be next alongside free agency. 

Gents things are starting to get a little interesting, and with that how do you feel knowing we have 40+M to work with in free agency?

If we bring in a DT or ILB via FA at a moderate price I think that will signal the pick at #7, I know a lot of eyes are now on Simmons, question is does he survive the top 5?

I think FA will go like this:

Our "splash" signing will be on the DL. We'll sign a few DEs and at least one DT. We'll also draft a couple DL.

At CB, we'll sign at least two FAs. Maybe Norman will come back for cheap?

We'll sign at least one mid-tier Tackle, and two higher/mid-tier Guards. We'll also draft a couple OL.

Robby Anderson might be an option, but I would lean more towards NOT right now.

A couple of specific guys I have my own eyes on are Tavon Austin (returner/slot/RB gimmicks/WVU blind loyalty) and Tajae Sharpe.

Vance McDonald and Luke Willson wouldn't be bad vet TEs to bring in.

I wouldn't mind bringing Mayo back in at LB.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
