Most dead cap the last 3 years

Panthers love playing players for nothing

Looks like a strong correlation between amount of dead cap and level of success as an organization  who would have thought a crippling amount of dead cap could impact your ability to field a competent football team?!

[Mr. Scot]

Dead cap is primarily a measure of past bad decisions.

Here's hoping we minimize the need for that in the future.

I'm confused....is dead cap not specific to players who are cut/traded?  Why would Matt Paradis and Haason Reddick have dead cap considering they simply played out the entirety of their contracts and left organically in FA (i.e. simply were not re-signed)?

"Restructuring"
"Void years"
Its why the Saints will eventually have 60-70% of their cap in dead money once they decide the party is over

We are 13th in dead cap this year.   And we have more cap space than any other team, although I imagine that will change soon.  But its clear that the front office has gotten better in that regard.  If we can find a qb, and get the right staff on the field, we could end up in pretty good shape over the next few seasons.

Yes, it will.

Very appropriate giff.

They love paying players to do nothing on the team as well such as the entire o-line minus Moton.
