Our Updated Cap

According to Spotrac after releasing Boston , Weatherly , Paraldy Spotrac has us sitting at 9th with 35,231,683 with 22,672,807 in DC for the season I do expect Burris to be released as well and maybe Shaq and Paradis contracts to be re structured to give us a little more money. Who would like Carolina to go after in Free agency?

I’m curious to see what they do with Paradis. Personally, I don’t think you can cut him and expect to replace 4/5 OL positions in one offseason. 

I don’t think Paradis was as bad as many think as he suffered from having to play next to Chris Reed at times. That left side of the line was a real problem when Okung wasn’t playing which was most of the time. 

Assuming pick 8 ends up getting shipped off, it would be franchise changing to land a LT in round 2

Much as I hate to say it, with as many holes as this roster still has, I don't think the goal is to contend next year either. You can probably replace as many linemen as you want; the lack of continuity isn't going to torpedo next year's championship run.

Why are we cutting Burris? Is his contract that bad? We just cut a safety and he seemed pretty decent when he was on the field

I don't think he will be release, but if he did it would be an additonal 4+million back in our pokcet and the safety market will be cheap and flooded this off season.

This is the draft to do it too. Leatherwood, Eichenberg(not super high on em), Radunz could probably be had round two. Then even deeper, I’m really interested in Walker little in a later round. Dudes got caliber. I’d just hope he works out because we can’t get screwed by OT named Little, twice.

I don't see us cutting ties with Paradis for the reason many have said.  Having to start 3 new OL is tough enough without replacing the center with somebody completely new, as well.

I'm not sure why we would restructure him, either.  He is 32, on the last year of his contract, and it is almost inconceivable that we would extend him or resign him beyond this year.  Whatever we would save this year, when our expectations are not all that high, only gets turned into dead cap next year or later, when we might be in contention.

    • I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.
    • Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.  
    • I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
