Team	Cap Space
Panthers	$23,652,565
Broncos	$21,938,294
Washington	$16,329,474
Steelers	$15,719,362
Jets	$15,419,225
Browns	$14,389,671
Chargers	$14,028,115
Bengals	$13,770,510
Lions	$12,980,986
Eagles	$12,504,118
Seahawks	$11,150,161
Packers	$9,869,754

 

Not too shabby.  We have plenty of wiggle room to go out and sign multiple players, and/or make a trade for a somewhat expensive player with room left over.  This is a first for me being a fan of the Panthers.  Usually we're in cap Hell.  Good job Fitt-Dawg.

We need to save it for contract extensions

[t96]

I'd use it to frontload contracts for guys like DJ and Donte.

Glad this team is being run by professionals who seem to have a plan beyond basically flunking the draft after the 1st round and handing out contracts we regret before the ink is dry...

If we stay pretty much put with what we have now, and roll it into next year, we will have something like 60-70 million in space as it stands now.  We're in freaking FANTASTIC shape, cap wise.

Seems like the trend is actually void years and not front loading.

Again, why? We aren’t competing for a title this year and there’s nobody worth spending money on now. Pick up folks we like on waivers and worry about spending cap in 2022/2023 when hopefully, the young guys are solid enough to make a run. Extend the guys we need to extend and that’s it for now.

Enjoy it and roll the poo over to next year.

Gratuitous reminder that we accomplished that cap space despite $45mil in dead cap. Third most in the league this year.

Also, we will have $8mil in dead cap next year from Paradis (void years) and $4mil from Reddick (void year).

Everybody is competing for a title.  If not, then whats the point?  Who says we cannot make a run this year?  Don't get me wrong, I don't really think we're gonna win the SB this year, but everybody in the organization has to go into each season with the mindset of doing everything they can to be successful in this season.

Jesus.  We'd be 70 million under the cap if not for all this bullshit.
