2022 - Cap, and Under Contract

[SetfreexX]

A lot of fans tend to get up in arms about the salary cap, dead money, etc. I think most can assess that casual fans do little home work, and have a very media provided understanding of things of this nature. I thought with the rebuild / retooling talk it'd be an interesting prospect to look to what happens after 2021....gentlemen and ladies I present to you the Panthers 2022 players under contract.

In the image below you will see we have 7 players under contract (DJ Moore, I believe would be eligible for the fifth year option so he would make 8 at that point, as he was a 2018 draft pick). I bring this up to say keep an eye out on the contract lengths / extensions we hand out for the 2020 season as well as 2021 because in a few years, this will all look very, very different. And even if you look at 2021, we're currnetly showing no dead cap, I think it's a reason you've seen the moves made now that we have (think Turner's 3M savings, and eating the dead cap now vs having him under contract for 2021, and with Okung his 13M will free up more space for 2021 in the event his services are not retained.)

Whew, that's a thin line of black and blue there. However, if you are doing a rebuild, then it shows it can start right now as there will be room down the road.

There are a lot of folks for the 2020 team that are really going to be playing to be added to that list. Lots of opportunity, lots of room at the top if people want it bad enough.

I'm up in arms about this

Why don't we have anyone signed through the year 2500
