Per source, the NFL and the NFLPA have agreed to a salary cap ceiling of $208.2 million for the 2022 season. If it gets there, that would be a 14 percent increase over the 2021 cap of $182.5 million. (more)

Panthers right now would have about 58 million, somewhere around 8th best in the league.

Salary cap, not cap space. Big difference.

[Captain Morgan]

wow, looking at our contracted players next year, we've finally cut the fat off.  Only one bad contract left, and that's Shaq.  We can cut up post June 1 and save 12 million if we want to.

This has been a long time coming.  A loooooong time.

Well the Panthers need to target the top OL players on the market.  They have a  swing tackle in Christianson and will need  a legitimate front to protect Sam Howell or Spencer Rattler.  The franchise has an issue- next year Matt Rhule is going to say "Look at this Tyrod Taylor, I will unlock his potential. I am not drafting a QB, I am taking a corner 3 years in a  row.  Yeah, who is with me corners every  year". This outlook has to change and  the team needs to draft a QB.  For  some reason Rhule loves journeymen QBs but it isn't 1976- you cant win with a journeyman every year.   Next year, after the  solid, yet unspectacular, and underrated Teddy Bridgewater, and then  the Bust Sam Darnold, you cant have Rhule signing Tyrod Taylor or Ryan Fitzpatrick or  Jacoby Brissett.

Bridgewater sucks. Go away and be a Broncos fan. Please you people are pathetic.

Fitterer is about to build a monster. If Horn and Darnold hit then this the Panthers are  going to be a problem...

[Leotiger]

Cap space is not going to be an issue for the next few years for this team. Time to see Tepper throw that wallet around!!!!

We could trot out the wild cat offense and I still wouldn't want "Teddy back".

Come week 3, you'll long since have been banned and posting at the Denver Broncos board.

This changes nothing.  Players are gonna end up asking for more, and still take up the same amount of percentage of the cap.  Just expect a bunch of players “resetting” the market.

There were a lot of guys that avoided long term contracts this past offseson because the expectation is that the salary cap will skyrocket with the new TV deal.

Players hit FA for a reason either bad fits or want too much money. Spend money in FA for depth to keep the bottom of our roster strong and keep building through the draft and use our money to resign our studs.

Thats not correct. That figure does not include Reddick, Boston, or Paradis dead cap. There maybe a couple more that I over looked, but each of them takes away about 5(paradis I think is 10) million each in dead cap form the 58 number. The number is closer to 40 .
