It's gonna be a complicated year.

Lesser than expected salary cap makes it difficult to keep your own while also making it difficult for other teams to sign your guys away.

Might be like watching one of those shows where they see who can save the most with coupons.

I have a feeling it’ll resemble much of MLB’s FA period this year. Some splashes and trades (ahem, Padres) but most of the market sits tight as it resets itself in a way. 
 

I’m prolly wrong AF though and it’ll be a frenzy like years prior once the legal tampering period opens up.

Agreed. Think about it. We feel like we have no cap space and yet we are in better shape than over half the league. Only a few teams have a bunch of room, but there will be a lot of good players looking for a contract with a relatively small amount of dollars available. I’ve even seen discussion of atypical contracts like league minimum salary plus a few mil bonus with multiple void years for pro bowl type talent. 
 

Yes we have some big holes, but our cap situation is solid 2022 and beyond. If we can continue to draft well we will be set up well.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
