I kinda agree with you. I think that the bargain bin this season may produce a higher quality result--more for your money, if you will. But, do we really want to backload deals when we can just wait to see the presumably talent-rich market next offseason as a situational result of this offseason? I mean we'll be a lot freer and cash-rich in 2022; why cloud that up? And we're still going to need the money to sign our rookies this year.

Because a lot of other teams not in a position to compete for free agents this year will be able to compete next year

Ill go out on a limb and say if a certain player wants to sign a big deal, they will.

 

The thing about Moton is this, they know what it would take and could at any point sign him to lower his cap number more. So its a power move, we dont have space is miss leading.

The entire league is cash strapped, so I don’t buy into the assumption that we won’t be targeting big names.  A lot of 1 year deals or back loaded multi year deals will be handed out this year, and free agents will have no choice but to accept that.  There simply isn’t enough money to go around like previous years.  We have tons of cap space available next year and are among only a handful of teams with decent space available this year.  We will be more active than some think.  

Hope so...more really good FA out there this year than usual

I read the article too and I mostly agree with it. Same as last year, try to fill as many holes as you can without too much risk financially and remove the pressure of drafting for need. The only exception to that I could see is perhaps going a little higher for a FS or CB. No need to spend a lot on 1 position when you have so many needs.

How is it that the Saints are still 40 million over the cap and still signing Marcus Williams and we have all this money and are cap strapped and have to bargain shop??? I don't get it.

Some teams aren't teams at all, just dancers, placeholders, other thans.

Look at the extremes the NFL went to to "stop" Cam Newton. It was obvious. The NFL hierarchy didn't like swag, dabs, and certainly didn't want the Panthers to win anything.

Look at spygate. NFL had the evidence of the Patriots taping the Panthers and the two big guys who came for the evidence reportedly smashed the tapes after receiving them.

My short answer is FAVOR. Favor ain't fair.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By strato · Posted

      considering [Dave] Canales enters Year 3 working for an impulsive owner. There’s not much room to slide backwards from an 8-9 season and 13-21 overall record. It doesn’t help that his primary job has been the development of quarterback Bryce Young, and the progress there has been inconsistent. Canales was supposed to turn the former top pick into a franchise quarterback. If that doesn’t happen by next January, the Panthers could be looking for both a new coach and quarterback." —————- The format of that doesn’t display on my iPad I had to paste it as plain text to see it so I am leaving it here to refer to… I am gonna disagree with a lot of that.  First reference is Tepper. That interview posted here a few days back gave me the impression that he is really happy with his FO. And Canales. Seat isn’t even warm as of right now. IMO.  The assertion that Canales is supposed to turn Young into a franchise QB is something I have never bought. First, how could anyone look at 2023Bryce and see a can’t miss Franchise player?  He was for sure a could miss.  I am not sure it was fix Bryce or you are both gone. Maybe that will happen The longer it drags on, I think maybe the more likely a total house cleaning could be an outcome. I mean it is only year 3 of Canales coming up. But as a couple of people like to point out, he has shown other concerning flaws that might damage his stock.  As far as the hot seat, mid season with 2-3 wins I would imagine yeah it would be pretty warm. I think a small regression to say 7 or maybe even 6 wins would be tolerated but the seat is warm for 2027. Depends on the circumstances.
