I don't know why y'all don't want to cut Paradis. Even if he plays decent he's old and won't be a part of the future. Why not move on now and let a young guy work.

Desperate for any competent oline.. if we somehow can get a cheaper alternative to paradis im all for it .. cap space this year is going to be a premium. It is worth considering but only if we have the next room in place

The Panthers are gaining $4.27 million in cap space after rolling over what was left from 2020. So, if you base it on the salary cap minimum of $180 million, the Panthers will have roughly $24 million in cap space.
 
 
 
now Cut Weatherly  (5.9m), Burris (3.8m) and Palardy (1.9m) and suddenly we have  $11.6 million more, for a total of 35.6 million.  Moton's tag will take us back down to around 20 mill.

Cutting Palardy and Weatherly, Combined with this week's release of veteran defensive tackle Kawann Short, the Panthers have carved around $16.4 million worth of space off the cap. This total does NOT include the savings from Boston who will likely be a post June 1st cut saving  and additional $3,550,000 this year and $4,990,000 next year with dead cap of $2,666,666 this season as well as next season.

Total for all the cuts: $19,950,000 saved.

We can save $4.9M releasing Paradis straight up. $8.5M if it's post-June 1st. That he wasn't announced today with the rest of the names tells me that we're at least going to hang onto him until we see what happens in FA and possibly the draft. We may be looking for a surprise cap casualty to become available. If we have a rookie QB we expect to play early, then we can't also rely on a rookie center IMO.

We are sitting at $35,231,683 cap currently. Idk if releasing Paradis is going to happen. We already have to fill three starting roles on the line this offseason, and that’s with the assumption we tag Moton. That may be asking a lot compared to the savings you would get from cutting him. He already has a year in our offense, and that is an incredibly important role.

Yeah, I honestly don't think it's part of the plan. At least not currently. Now if a decent option becomes available for less than that plan can always change.

I think your last sentence is a big part of this, we have to hedge our bets without a clear plan at QB for now. pParadis was mostly serviceable last season - not to say he is worth what we are paying, but, we dont have a replacement for him on the roster.  Why not keep him and if we come up with a better plan B then we will make him a post June 1 and get more money off the books.

This whole "not paying for bad players" thing...is that something new in the NFL? 🤔

I know it goes against our usual practices.

Right? Unfortunately, one of the only consistent things about this franchise is that we are consistently loaded with dead money, poo contracts, and our collective backs are up against the wall with regards to the salary cap.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
