This is why all that salary cap wizardry is plain stupid.  You can move numbers around all you want, but when you are committing money to Ian Thomas, Sam Darnold, Robbie Anderson, Pat Elflein, etc it's useless.  This is garbage roster building.

Correct.

The choice of who gets paid and who doesn't matters way more than what the terms are.

I don't think the contract itself is that bad. It's an overpay, but not a huge one. And the terms are mostly up to Suleiman, anyway.

Rhule is still the guy that determines who stays and who goes 

Not gonna lie, I'm starting to think of this clip when it comes to Fitterer's responsibilities.

"Well I bring the paper from Matt Rhule's office to Samir's"

"Couldn't Matt Rhule just tell Samir himself who to sign?"

It may not be far off.

I've described Fitterer's role as basically director of college scouting. I suspect Morgan will function like a director of pro scouting.

But no, neither of them have final say on who stays, who goes, who gets paid and who doesn't.

That's all Rhule.

Thank you for posting this. The folks in here that keep saying well NO was able to do magic so the cap space doesn’t matter, don’t get this. NO was doing the finagling to get Brees, Kamara, Thomas, Armstead, Ramzcyk etc. to have a few more years together. They were throwing big money and extensions at their top talent. We are doing the same except we are throwing a ton of money at guys who contribute poo and we get rid of them quickly. $16M for 3 more games of short. $31M for one year of Teddy, $30M for two years of Robby. $23M for one year of Sam to start (trying hard to replace him this year), $13.5M for 6 games of Okung and so on all in the last 3 years.

Way, way too much dead cap from impetuous decisions, changing their mind and just poor talent evaluation.

It's like a high school kid is in charge of our roster building.

Honestly, for the house cleaning in a year or two, I’m thinking Pickett may be the best. He only costs us a LT. Going all out for Jimmy G or Cousins will cost us more picks and likely hang a $100M guaranteed money to kill this team even longer. At least Pickett is a cheap mistake because mark my words, we will make a mistake on our next QB.

No offense, but that's not exactly a "bold prediction".

That's kinda like predicting that at some point this season, Rhule will be outcoached.

More of that salary cap “nInja” from the team’s cap “specialist”…

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
