Don't forget you have to set aside some for draftees.

Possible there will also be other moves on our part to clear more cap.

Yup. That's 7-9 mil. Still, being in the top 1/3rd of the league space wise should help compared to most years if we start to do this right.

It will be more like 2 or 3 million.  Remember only the top 51 players count towards the cap in the offseason.  So when you add one guy for 4 million another guy that cost 700 or 800,000 comes off the cap.  Means that that guy that has a 4 million cap charge really only cost you 3.2 million against the cap.

We could get some good players at cheaper prices due to the lower cap. Hope we concentrate on OL, S and a slot WR. 

I agree with oline but I'd add tight end as well I think we can get a slot receiver in draft later rounds and a safety too

Add Lions corner Desmond Trufant to the list. He's been informed by the team that he's going to be released. Trufant is 30, if you're wondering.

Others up to this point...

Dolphins LB Kyle Van Noy
Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph
Saints TE Jared Cook
Giants WR Golden Tate
Bears CB Buster Skrine
Saints TE Josh Hill
Jets DT Henry Anderson
Giants LB David Mayo

It's certainly the season for it, but the general expectation is that we're probably going to see more of these than usual, especially if the prediction that was given to Russini is true.

Zeitler?

I like Zeitler a lot, but I am not sure we can afford him, even with the year being the way it is.  He's above average to me . . . he's not quite at that Pro Bowl, All Pro level, but he's awful close.  One of the least penalized IOL you'll ever want to see.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
