This chart shows how bad the Panthers' future is (WARNING: WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO ROPE)

That x-axis seems kinda dumb unless you think a 2nd and 3rd round pick are worth ~$80M in cap space.

According to this chart the Saints are considered to have more "resources" when in reality the difference between the Panthers and Saints is one team having a 2nd and 3rd round pick as well as ~$80M less cap space.

And we get a bunch of cap space after this year. Backload a couple of contracts, draft nothing but online this year, and the future starts looking better.

Great to see see someone on the Huddle have a positive take and outlook. This place is getting down right depressing to view.

A single trade down and a couple contract restructures/cuts and we move upward right. the data doesn’t support future state, it only supports current state.

Current state does enable same offseason future state flexibility tho. We can recover some ground but the point is how far below other teams in our same wins situation we are.  Even the scenario you describe doesn't move us very far probably because I suspect it's weighting our first rounder based on where it is, and that is the kind of move other teams could make too.

I don't think this is a figure that says "be pessimistic about 2022 no matter what," but it does suggest what we already know just from limited cap space and missing our 2nd and 3rd rounders because we traded for rehab projects.  Oh well.

I agree 2023 looks brighter than 2022 right now.  But we have to hope Rhule and Fitt are being handicapped on what future assets they can trade, or the future gets a lot dimmer.

And this is precisely why I don’t think Rhule was canned this year. We’re not going to attract any decent coach with that outlook. 

I’ll keep repeating this… 

Do you think allowing Rhule to stay another season will in any way make the team more attractive NEXT year?  Do you think Rhule is just going to idly sit on his hands and allow future resources he can use NOW to remain untouched?  Or do you think he’ll use whatever resources he can, present and future, to try to save his own fat neck?

This is the worst part about keeping him. I can take another losing season, but, with no reward in the draft, we're screwed.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
