And if you sign a player to a one year deal it opens it up the following year anyway… never said we had to sign someone to a long term contract.

You have to have to sign players to PS. Call them up to active roster. Injured Reserve. That stuff isn’t free. Every team has to keep some available. What player was going to magically help on a 1 year/5M contract? Those are usually game changers….right?

 And there is the problem. You really don’t understand how this works. Tepper(or any owner) isn’t saving any money with that. It carries over every year. It gets spent eventually. They restructured every contract they could to create cap room for everyone THIS year. And now have bad team that has to do it again just to field a hopefully below average team next year. 
 

   If you don’t understand this simple concept, there really no reason to continue. 

The salary roll over has to be finalized on the day following the last regular season game… did Carolina say they were rolling over $10M last year? I couldn’t find that, maybe you can.

They don’t have to be game changers but they can certainly provide depth to a team that currently has none… James Bradberry has been what I’d call a game changer.

No they rolled over 4.67M. Every team has to be ABOVE the cap. So there is always rollover.

And they would still be 1-5 and and 5M less for next year. What’s the average guy on a 1/5M or less deal usually provide.

Before the season we had Horn, Jackson, and Henderson locked in as the starting CBs. It's a two way street, Bradberry would have to want to come here as well. Just because he took a fairly cheap deal with the Eagles to be a starter on a team coming off the playoffs doesn't mean he'd be willing to take the same deal to be the #3 or #4 CB for a team that was coming off its 3rd straight 5-win season.

Just using it as an example my guy… it doesn’t even necessarily have to be him. The point is that internal budgets are out there. Even with roll over, that’s a cool $5M that the Panthers aren’t using. On the contrary, a team like the Saints constantly pushes the limit.

How do you not understand any money not spent this year goes to next years cap. And gets used? Cmon man. That’s day one stuff. You have the richest owner in the league and he would spend double if they let him. 

  You’re just don’t get it. You’re preaching about something you don’t understand.

That doesn’t matter bud… there’s enough restructures out there where the Panthers can still manage to get under the salary cap next year… like I said, the Saints do it every year… the Saints spend damn near to the limit every year and were somehow in talks to acquire Watson… with what money, I don’t know… but it’s obviously possible to be competitive by spending to the limit and just pushing everything down the road.

And as for Tepper spending, that’s not true at all… now you’d be talking about something that you don’t know… if you think that’s the case then why is his soccer team 27th out of 28th in salaries?

Saints constantly pushing the limit when they have Payton and Brees made sense. You're seeing how dumb that was this season when they're 2-4 with the poo poo platter of Jameis and Dalton at QB. They screwed themselves by trying to free up cap space for Watson when they had to restructure and push a bunch of money into next year's cap and are currently $55m over next year's cap. That's why they had to trade away players like CGJ and will have to cut a bunch of guys this offseason.

Maybe, but they will probably turn it around before we do.

If Fitt drafts a quarterback that will be a legitimate NFL starter he will help his case. If he misses he will probably be at Gaston College with Rhule.  

I'm thinking the Rhinos could use their services...maybe...

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
