Why all the restructuring?

So far we have restructured Moton and Thompson to free up money for this year, but we will have to pay those guys "huge stacks" over the next couple of years. My question is Why?

- Are we freeing up space to cover the costs of an elite or at least expensive QB? (Cousins? Wilson? Rodgers? Watson?)

- Does it mean we are going to go after a FA tackle like Armstead? and then draft a signal caller?

I'd think it'd be my second proposal because otherwise our Cap will be difficult to manage for the next coaches if/when this coming year results in another losing season.

What does everything think about the restructures and possible goals they would indicate. Debate Away!

Y’all have to understand we didn’t have much cap to begin with. We have to pay Darnolds whole salary this year. Don’t see this at all that we’re making a big move. We don’t have the unlimited cap space, like the saints have.

Julian council of locked on panthers says he has a source and we are going hard at armstead

So in a loaded tackle draft that we are sitting at pick 6 we throw a ton of cap at an aging FA tackle.  Makes sense.

Yup, we have like 50 players on the roster and had about $10M which would mostly be need for draft/security for injuries etc. They literally didn't have enough money to fill out the Training camp roster. Sure they may try to make some dumb blockbuster signing but this is mostly gonna be replacing the 19 FA's that left

Brother your guess is as good as anyone's.  Nothing the team does makes any sense.

Rhule is loading up for his hail mary attempt and spend big time in FA.  Granted, it probably won't work, but he's going down swinging and taking the organization down with him.

Ask yourself this, is there any available FA's or players in this draft that can put this team over the top?  Hell, is there any available QB's either by trade or in this draft that could even get them out the nfcs basement?  No, Watson will not do it either.  Yes it's that bad.

Nothing done this offseason will produce anymore wins than they've managed so far. If the nfcs sucks enough they might manage to pick up an extra win but that's debatable as it stands now.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
