Based on today's agreed to contracts (keep in mind they are NOT signed yet) there cap hits for 2021 are 3.5m combined...n allowing 10m for draft picks still leaves around 17 million in 2021 space available.

and so so many holes that wont be fixed by one draft.

Attempting to figure out what the Panthers are doing is useless.

It is odd imo with so many other teams realizing the cap can be spent like a congressional budget aka worry about it tomorrow.

 

They are holding 17.5-18m free right now, I am curious if its to hold out the Texans or if they have other plans.

Clearly I'm in the minority, but I don't see what is so bad about this move.

Unexpected, sure, but it probably shouldn't have been.  He only played what, like 29% of the snaps last year?  He's just not a good fit on the team with Brown and Roy, who will probably be getting even more snaps next year given the year of experience under their belt.  If you play Kerr you're either taking Brown off the field (in most cases) or you are running with 2 guys who are both best suited to play the nose/1-tech.  

Rhule clearly loves versatility.  I'm sure he'd rather replace Kerr on the roster with someone who can more consistently push the pocket (not that Kerr didn't at times last year, but he's also about to be 31).

Ultimately this isn't that big of a deal.  A replaceable player who was released because his role o the team was redundant.

Cutting Kerr and not signing Obada...kind of makes you wonder. Both seemed to be good rotation guys at a pretty low cost. 

Sadly, I think that it is the rotational part of it. I think that the new regime wants rotational guys to be young ones -- rookies or second year players. Cheaper, more development, maybe find a star.

I loved having both Kerr and Obada in Panthers uniforms and I think both contributed majorly last season, I hate to see either or both go. But, let's be honest, our defense got trampled to death in the majority of our games last season. There was/is going to be a hog killin' on the defensive side this year, particularly among non-starters. Just hate to see it happen to two fan favorites like that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
