Interesting idea, but I just don’t see how we could afford it.  Any cap wizards here who thinks this would even be remotely possible?

 

also, thoughts on Dak if he doesn’t get bright back by Dallas? They’ve been rumored to be considering moving on or taggin n’ trading Dak.

I feel like fitterereer is in 15 QB deals, to drive down the market on the 2 he/they truthfully want. Dak could be signed, be some loooong years like = 8 years 280 million type of deal. Panthers have about 80 million (space) come 2022, so any deals signed this year must be low first year types. Its possible, but you could not tag or sign Moton as part of this signing. 

They could make it happen, just .00004% chance dallas doesnt tag, 20 other team dont match/pass panthers, and dak wants to be a panther.

Probably wouldn’t cost as much as giving up as up everything for Watson. Yeah I posted it in another thread, I would love to get him. He would have been in running for MVP if he had not gotten hurt. His numbers were crazy good he was putting ridiculous numbers, their defense as always was costing them games. Also instead of Zeke feeding himself he was feeding the other team with all his fumbles. I would put getting him over Watson IMO.

I don’t know how we afford it either but signing a FA like Dak would be preferable IMHO to spending multiple firsts and other picks to get Watson or Wilson at #2.

If we go for an expensive QB, we need more cheap draft capital not less. I also am not as much of a fan of giving up the farm for anyone besides Lawrence.

If Dallas were to tag him, we could technically offer two firsts and match the contract right?

I was looking more at Trent Williams. Throw in a deal for Moton and Miller suddenly our offensive line is a strength and we have no cap space left....

Trent Williams is also who I really want. Just like at what adding Jack Conklin did for that Browns OL. 1 piece can make a world of difference and Williams could mentor the lineman we get in the 1st 3 rounds to be his successor. Win - Win

Only way I'd be ok with the team trading draft capital is for a proven, top tier QB. 

Watson > Dak > hope Wilson/Fields/Lance are there at 8. If none of those options work take the best LT available and try again next year. 

I'd still take a flier on a mid round QB in this draft and hope Fitterer finds the next Russell Wilson.

It would be easy to get to about $50M in cap space, we could easily franchise Moton and sign Dak. We just need to be vigilant to dump the dead weight. It still pisses me off that we wasted so much cap on going for it in 2020. We could have given Moton $20M a year and Dak $40M a year and not batted an eye based on the over $80M we wasted. That would have been an extra $16M a year for the next 5 years to throw around and overpay. Instead we barely rolled over any cap space.

We disagree about the easy part. Ive done the sportac& over the cap thing a few times, about the highest I get is 40-38 million. Thats with KK, weath, Parlay, Paradis all getting cut. Simple we'll math use 40. Rookie pool needs are 10(rough), tag for moton is 13, and you need to carry 8-10 into the season. That leaves 7 million for around 10 spots, some are starting spots.

Check it out and see what you can come up with, just be real about numbers, contracts etc. Its not 100% correct either, but gives you a good idea.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
