I expect next year to look like 2002 when we bring in an actual NFL coach.  The 01 team had some young pieces but desperately needed a coach to put them in position to win. This team reminds me some of the 01 group.

This team has talent, but that team had championship-level guys 

Smitty > Moore

Peppers > Burns

Buckner > Brown

‘01 Steroid Line > ‘21 Walmart Creatine Line

Morgan > Shaq

We have a young talented team.  Nothing need to be gutted.  We need QB, OL and TE.  We are set.  We will also have a ton of cap space.  You guys are so dramatic.

$29 million is not a ton if you want to sign any of our own FAs. 

I dont recall but I think panthers are like 15 to 18 in cap space

It’s quite hilarious actually if you think about it…. OP is suggestions fire selling a team with a top 2 defense and playmakers on the offense.

 

instead of evaluating gaps and filling them, fug it let’s just create more gaps and figure it out all over again……

Because people are stupid, this teams needs a real coach, and an OL.

I don’t know.  We are one of the youngest teams in the NFL.  Hard to have a fire sale with our roster. 

now we might let a lot of FAs walk.  No Gilmore.  No Reddick.  No Cam.  DJ maybe gone.    

not sure who would want CMC’s contract.  

 

 

I honestly think you bring in a new coach and a they can draft their rookie and go from there. The team is young and imo talented. Look at your guys that could turn into some draft equity (Derrick Brown, Burns) and maybe flip them for picks instead of expensive extensions. Prob don’t spend a bunch of money resigning a guy like Jackson. See if you can get appropriate value for CMC (which at this point is the cap room and probably a 2nd round pick). Then start to build…with a coach who knows how to coach an NFL roster.

It’s going to be more with increase cap and cap carry over from prior year.  We can also redo few contracts.  We can easily spend $50M in free agency.

Moton: convert salary to signing bonus $10M

Resign Shaq: $10M

Resign DJ Moore: $8M

Void Paradis contract $8M (zero dead money)

We will have about $40M in cap plus possible additional $35M with few moves.  So yea, we got a ton of cap space.

That 30M is including increase and carryover. 
 

Keep kicking the can down the road in rebuilding years and you’re never gonna see even mediocre. 
 

DJ Moore has a guaranteed 11M 5th year option. 
 

 Paradis’ voided money is basically dead money. It’s in the total already, but you still have to find  a C still and you’re not getting anything from Paradis for the 8.2M cap hit. 
 

And all the team needs is starters at QB, LT, LG, C, FS, LB, DT and 1 pick to help. How much are these starters going to cost if you can fill all those positions with “around” 40M. Plus pay draft class and any kind of depth.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
