With no long term QB that we know of worth a damn under contract...this is a shame.

Get your QB...that's first, but if there isn't one, build like hell through the draft.  Solidify the defense, O Line, and get a couple weapons while keeping your cash on the side...some powder dry.

Then, once you have your QB, you have a well built team, a QB under contract long term, and a pile of cash to plug the holes to get ready to have a playoff team.

We do the opposite.

If you improve everything but the qb you'll be stuck at like the 7-8th pick everytime which lowers your chances of getting a franchise guy

There are so many unknowns for the 2023 "projection".  What will the new cap be?  How much will we carry over?  Who will get traded away (Robby, Shaq, CMC)?  Are we drafting a LT or QB?

Saints and Bucs are both projected in much worse shape than we are in 2023.  BTW aints aren't a contender and the Bucs are a contender if Brady plays in 2023. 

I'm not worrying about the 2023 cap in 2022.

 

btw, Weren't the Saint OVER the cap a month ago and now have the 2nd largest cap space?

Couldn't the Panthers just not use a large portion of that cap and roll it over to next year? That provides a ton of space before any cuts or restructures next offseason.

You're referring to the team whose head coach / top decision maker needs to save his job?

It’s in the link in his post, just change to 2023 and hit update and you see this hot mess. Somehow we are over the 2023 and we are so far from competing.

It's called a terrible FO with terrible decisions. It also says that Matt Rhule will be here next year as well. You don't allow a lame duck coach to mortgage the future like that. Tepper is fuging up at every point in football.

Carry over some, obvious restructures of Moton and DJ. Extensions for Burns and Shaq. 

Its not hard to free up a quick 40-50 million but there will certainly be more holes next year. 

Which is terrible when you are not even at. 500. No way we don't trade CMC, Shaq, and Maybe Anderson next year just for cap relief.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
