No. Erving has a little room but they sure don’t want to extend him. And it would only 
be 3M at most. Every other bet is making league minimum base salary already because of the “cap ninja” moves in the off-season.

I dug a little deeper and the team can split it up with next year. It will still be gone before off-season, but it’s not impossible. In fact it brings Shaq and Robbie into play. They are making league minimum for any team that trades for them. The Panthers only have around 10M right now. So CMC would be really tough.

Over The Cap says the dead cap would be $7.5M for three years, we'd save $12M in each of 23' and 24'. Not sure where the 19.5M cap hit is coming from, the trading team would take on the salary, we're just stuck with bonus money from the signing and restructure. Question is what draft capital would be worth Paying CMC almost $8M a year for 3 years to play for another team?

The trading team would pay his remaining base salary. The Panthers have to account for the 18.5M(not 19.5M) off dead cap before next off-season. So they would have to use 9.25M of their close to 10M total right now.

I hear you and agree, but I have watched football a long time and I am pretty sure the new coach (and gm?) are going to come in here and not have the dumbass rhule line of thinking of "this roster can win now".  They are 100% going to see this as a rebuild and more then likely have to strip this puppy for parts and build it again.  You know something that should have been done 3 years ago

..we already fugged up the rebuild...now we godda do it again?   losers are always rebuilding...

I just don’t see any new regimen stripping this team down. There is no point. It would take years to get equivalent talent and risk performing out of the gate. You have a young team with talent at almost every position. 
 

the new regimen would trim the fat but keep the meat. 

Yes that was I was trying to imply.  They will have to shed some contracts and probably rework others.   We still have to pay brown, burns and chinn if we want to keep our core.   
 

we also need to figure our linebacker situation since shaq is done after 2023.   We are painfully thin there.

100% linebacker and quarterback are key.  The roster isn’t really in bad condition. Just need the key pieces to be filled.

it’s going to be a process people. Rhule effectively dug this team into a pit that will take a couple years to get out of. during that time you hopefully get your franchise QB and have some learning year or two, a blueprint like other teams.

keep in mind this is beast case scenario.

sometimes the losing culture and FO ineptness gets engrained so much, it comes to a point of no return. like the Browns, Lions or Dolphins until recently…Bills too.

In this case you’re looking at a decade plus of just putrid football. This is why it’s so important to get things right. Our owner doesn’t see it and just doesn’t get it. He has destroyed this franchise and it’s really sad.

i honestly have no faith anymore. I don’t expect the Pa there to be a good team until nearing 2030 tbh.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
