The Panthers currently have the most cap space in the entire NFL

Rodgers, Russell, Watson, Stafford.

We've had our eyes on each one of these.  Shake your head if you want, but that's my feeling.

Will we get one?  Who knows, but we almost got one of them...heavy interest in another, and two more likely coming on the market next offseason.

Stafford said he would turn down trade here so I would say if he doesn’t want to be here, why would any of the others?

Why are you asking questions we can't answer?  Also did Stafford have a trade clause in his contract?

I'm just saying that we are keeping our options open, no idea what will happen, but so far, we have been in the chase for two top tier QB's...I don't think that we are done yet.

Did u not see the report that came out Stafford turned down Panthers. Sorry didn’t mean for other to be a question, I meant the other qbs won’t come here to play.

Stafford didn't want to come here because we didn't look like a contender, and LA did. That's not an inaccurate assessment.

As for next offseason, if we have a terrible year, we'll be no more appealing to an aging veteran franchise QB than we were this offseason, and if we have a great year, we still won't be appealing because it'll probably be because Sam did pretty good, and we won't be seen as having an opening at the QB spot.

We need to save it for contract extensions

Some cap wiz needs to confirm but there is only so much we can rollover based on a crap ton of things. I *think* we have to 80% and in a certain 4 year time period and also the rest of the nfl needs to use a certain amount.

And maybe some other stuff, I’m not sure of the specifics (it gets really messy) but I agree we need to save as much as possible to sign Moore and Burns who will not be cheap.

That was also before this season.  If we go out and kick some ass this year, or at least show a lot of improvement on offense, why wouldn't one of them want to come here?

I've seen some numbers posted here I don't believe are correct.

Cutting more leaves with 625k dead cap this year and next.  Total of 1.25 mill in dead cap.

Total cap savings for the 2 years are 3.5 million.  Easy decision to make for WR4, who Shi make push down to WR5.

So add 2.5 mill in cap space to next years total.

And add 6 mill in dead cap next year when we cut Shaq.  And add 12 mill in cap savings at the same time. 

Those 2 moves alone give us 14.5 mill more cap space for 2022.

 

future's so bright...

I got to think we sign a stud guard/center and release Elflein as well.

If we do "go out and kick some ass this year", that would pretty much mean Darnold had a great year. Why would they want to come here? Why would we want them?

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
