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.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
