Updated Cap for the 2021 Panthers

Recommended Posts

After cutting KK Short today we saved $8,603,250 in cap, and will eat $11,017,000 in dead cap this season. 
 

Total dead cap so far in 2021 is right at $20,172,807 thanks to a few players on the books including KK. Top 3 in dead cap for next season is below:

Kawaan Short: $11,017,000

Luke Kuechly: $7,132,514

Graham Gano: $1,537,500

Total Cap spending currently before any more Cuts or Restructures:

$141,552,411

The cap is rumored to be around 180 million which will leave us right at $38,447,589 in cap currently before any other moves are made.

Next season we will be in wonderful shape with Cap, and should have a Teddy 2 gloves off the books as well other than his dead cap hit.

Next low hanging fruit is Stephen Weatherly with a cap hit of $7,906,250.

if cut he will carry 2 million flat in dead cap so we will save $5,906,250.

This will bring our total cap space to:

$44,353,839

That’s certainly a lot better than most teams... feeling pretty optimistic.

Your numbers seemed too good to be true so I had to double check. Unfortunately the number you're quoting doesn't include our dead cap. Our cap hit is actually the number you quoted plus the dead cap number you mentioned. So you have to take out another $20 million. So we actually have about $18 million right now. Of course that number will be a fair bit higher after more obvious cuts take place like Weatherly. I figure when all is said and done we'll have about $30 million without trying and could be significantly more if we wanted to get creative or offload some contributors but that seems unnecessary.

Maybe I'm misreading the amount we have available, but if we have $24M in cap space and you have to earmark ~ $10M for rookies, we have $14M in cap space.

Tagging Moton would be around $14M. 

I wonder if eating KK's hit this year and trying to have a clean sheet in '22 by Suleiman is an indicator of our direction for a QB. A QB on a rookie contract vs. Watson/Wentz/vet is looking more and more like the chess move. 

2022 will be our year to start finishing off the roster. Rhule's third year, Teddy off the books and two rookie classes on the books.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
