The Panthers now #7 most cap space in the NFL

[Jared Patterson]

Cut Burris and trade Bridgewater and our cap would be in a fantastic situation.

No matter what moves we make this offseason, we should be in a healthy spot this year, and GREAT shape next year. We currently sit a little above 35 million after we gained money from the Matt Paradis restructure.

 

Does this mean we subtract the dead cap money from the cap space giving only about 8.5 M cap space?

No, we have 35 million available after dead cap.

That’s AFTER the dead cap. We’re good to go.

Damn, Marty--if we didn't have such a huge dead cap #....

And 5 of the teams above us need a QB

Yea it’s kind of skewed to just look at available space but it’s still not great considering - when looked at overall we are in top 3 worst with Rams and Eagles.

Not to say the future isn’t bright because it is but you can’t look at this being 5-11 and be happy probably won’t next year either unless were a winning team...then this franchise will look pretty decent. At least 8-8.

Hurney was fired by his secret elderly lover once...for a reason. It took A LOT for that to happen. You rehire him this is what you get, the same reason.

At least it’s finally come to an end.

Why is it I have a completely different feeling about freeing up cap space now than I did when Hurney still had the checkbook?

Good points but it’s a good starting point. At least this isn’t like after Hurneys first stint where we were in a deep hole when Gettleman started, and had to hear about shopping at the dollar store compared to Tiffany’s for multiple years.

the more I think about it the more I think we're going to go all in on FA this year. It makes so much sense even if we go the draft route. we have a fug ton of cap starting next year

Wait til other team do cuts, but if this gives you hope ignore my statement.

Valid point worth considering before we get too stoked.

Panthers aren't out of the woods just yet.

I read somewhere that the Falcons. Only have 39 players under contract for this next year. In that they have 134 million tied up in just 6 players! How are the going to fill a 51 man roster? Been wondering on that...

And Fitterer hasn’t even really made one move yet.
