Odd Day for the Panthers

[Rubi]

This team has been suffering from bad hurney / GMan contracts for what seems like 20 years my god. Always strapped for cash with a mainly talent absent roster 

[GoPanthers123]

Improving OL is overdue, I mean many years overdue.  It’s a start.

We have no oline.  Literally.  And limited cap space.

Not sure how "cheap contracts for versatile average oline" is odd.

Honestly, these are good signings for us.  It enables us to go into the draft and not feel pressured to reach for a player because we have a huge hole to fill.  The fewer holes you have entering the draft, the better.

Well we have 18m to spend.... I have no Idea bro. depends on what they are gonna do.

You need to factor in-season space. *Normally* you want at least 7 million to sign free agents, cause as panther fans we know theres going to be injured players. Minimum 5 million, yea you can have 0, but thats beyond dumb and no one does it. Most teams have 8-5 in season and roll the remains next year. It gos fast, especially if everyone needs ______ , you got to up a signing bonus/other to get the player. 

Best way to get space(imo) would be signing Moton, Moore, and/or Anderson to extension.

Correct and in season extensions happen pretty frequently if you go shopping in the offseason, keeping free space is rather new honestly because the previous collective bargaining agreement didn't allow cap rollover.

GMs use that for leverage too- agent " I see you got 10 million in space, up your offer!!! " GM- "Nah, need all that for in-season injury insurance"

I was honestly just trying to dispel the myth of "we have no money" front loaded deals are so rare that 10-15m is enough to go on a decent shopping spree.

Why do you even have an account if you don't want to discuss things?

What do you mean? I love it watching you guys group up in cliques when someone doesn't have an opinion that 1:1 jives with what the front office is doing.

To say the least, Two sub par offensive linemen and cutting Kerr..... So were does that leave us?

Well the two contracts have a combined cap hit this season of about 3.5M dollars.

 

Cutting Kerr reportedly saved 1.1M.

Based off ST and OTC we started the day with between 29 and 31m in cap space...

 

I'll use 30 as average...

 

30m

-3 5m for signings 

-10m for draft picks

+1.1 for cutting Kerr

 

This should leave roughly 18.5M dollars in available cap to spend....

 

 

So big Kahana or restarted rebuild?

I am by no means a cap wizard...but it’s sounds like a good amount to rollover with the 89% rule in mind. Course this is over a 4 year period which I believe started this year. Maybe that explains TB? Then of course I think the rest of the league has to spend a certain amount.

Maybe someone with more cap knowledge can confirm but this is basically how teams like the Browns were some ridiculous 80 million extra in cap space one year...

Always good to take advantage of the rollover in a  rebuilding time so the money is there when the players worth spending on are also there. Take all this as a grain though I’m not sure how it’s work tbh.
