[Mr. Scot]

Circling back again to saying this is year one of the rebuild rather than year two.

[mcsmoak]

So what you’re saying is that it’s a contract year for a lot of guys this year?

[Smithers]

Lots of guys to resign (Moton, Burns, Moore, Reddick, Darnold, Anderson).  That money will go fast.  Another reason why we must find 3 future starters in this draft.

Anderson is expendable. The free agent list next year is insane too. 

[Bama Panther]

That is with only 30 players under contract though. That money will go fast when you consider the 23 other players (21 to count as top 51) needed to fill out the roster. 

[BPF]

So next years free agency should be interesting 

[OneBadCat]

We're signing Aaron Rodgers next year.

Cap will explode it will take player salary’s a couple years to catch up... Let’s lock up everybody while we can before the big money days coming  

[jayboogieman]

We can use that money to do this 

[Panthero]

Im skeptical of this. It goes against all that i know as a Panthers fan.

don't forget, say 6 rookies this year, and 6 more next year will make the roster, giving us 12 more contracts that don't count much.  So 42 players after the draft next year, and only 9 more needed to get to 51.
