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.

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.

      Hunt and Corbett to IR

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hunt is a killer loss. Hopefully we put Mays at C and BC at RG. Or I wouldn't be opposed if we slid icky to RG and put BC at LT. Highly doubt we do that though

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Everyone knew Manziel was going to flame out, especially once the combine process started and all the stories from TAMU started to get to teams. Dude straight up did not know how to play football, how to read a defense, how to not do drugs. There were rumors that his family was involved in armenian organized crime that were pretty credible.  He was just that physically gifted in college; he had a huge arm, he could scramble away from anyone, and no matter where he was on the field he could toss up a jump ball to mike evans. Him beating Alabama was what caused Saban to finally get away from statue QBs and implement some RPO elements.  The way he played in college was never going to work in the pros. Even if he wasn't a polysubstance abuser and was cerebral and willing to put in the work, the best case scenario was always him sitting for multiple years and learning how to play football. He was off almost all boards, notably not Dallas tho.  This a true story. A homeless person approached Jimmy Haslam on the street and told him to draft Johnny Football. So the Browns did. That was just about the worst place he could have landed, he started right away, and the first time he tried to get to the edge against an NFL linebacker he realized he wasn't as fast as Luke Kuechly and he was injured and never really played again.  I was at this game.  Anyway, great college player, absolutely deserved the Heisman, was never going to work in the NFL, hard to call him a bust just because the Browns reached for him and threw him to the wolves.
