They won’t. I honestly don’t think cmc moves the needle that much for them. If they can get healthy they might have a chance but like I said earlier this reeks of desperation and is a huge gamble on an oft injured but talented rb

It really is a huge gamble for them.  Because they still won't have a 1st in 2023 because of the Lance deal, right?  So they will be down their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th picks in the 2023 draft as it stands now, and I imagine really backed up against the salary cap.  If they don't win it all in the next 2 years, that team could crumble into a Panthers level poo show really quickly.

We have 18 million dollars in dead cap for CMC in 2023.  After that hes cleared off the books.  Which is good because if we had kept him his salary for the next 3 years is at least 15 mil per season.  We will take our lumps on the cap next season, but 2024 and beyond we should be flush with cash. 

True. Next year gonna be rough. Long term, hopefully it frees up space for Burns and a solid free agency to help in 2024. Definitely gonna need to hit this upcoming draft

this is a good trade for both teams 

san fran is win now mode and don't know what they have moving forward at the QB position. if CMC stays healthy, Shanahan is just about the best coach he could have ended up with. 

Say the Panthers are competitive again in 2024, Stroud/Young/Whomever's 2nd year. CMC is 28, with god knows how much more tread on the tires. How good is he on that team? 

good haul of picks. First rounder wasn't on the table. They got a 2nd and 3rd for a RB with a terrible contract with a huge injury history in 2022. Most people upset on here have completely unrealistic expectations about what their players are worth. Unless you get Jim Irsay rolling on MDMA, you're not getting a 1st rounder. 

Fitterer did well on this. He tried to create a bidding war but the only two teams interested were short on firsts. 

good luck to CMC. Hope he wins the super bowl.

Yeah we aren't in the FA business next season.  It's about draft picks and acquiring cheap young talent.  Once we have our rookie QB and HC running their system for a year we will know what pieces we need and sign FA according the following year.  Also we probably are going to extend Burns which will lower his cap his next year.

with a qb and coach that has their sea legs

We finally have a fuging plan.  Finally.  Every motherfuger on here should be happy because overnight we finally are moving forward as a NFL franchise.  No more throwing poo against the wall.  We are building through the draft.

I’m still amazed at the absolute meltdown from trading an oft injured, massive cap hit running back whose best historical season netted us 5 wins. Hopefully this is the end of building around a rb.

draft a qb in the first round,  draft play makers/oline with the next two rounds. Do this the right way.

Lol thats 18 Million DEAD money next year. 

We are back in the negative for next season after this move. There is no "cap to spend" next season. We can make a few moved and restructures to get under and sign a bunch of dumpster dives or maybe 1 mid level players and our draft picks but thats it. 

2024 the books open up but I'd imagine that evaporates quickly once Burns, Chinn, Horn, Luvu and others start inking deals. Unless of course we just trade them too. 

lol. We are at -3 million over the cap before the salary cap ceiling is raised. We will be under the cap, and we still have Shaqs contract that will potentially free up 13-24 million. You are overreacting without looking at the facts. 

1. Extending burns would give us 15million back in our pocket

2. Rerstructuring T-Mo can create another 8-11 million

3. Restructing DJ Moore can create another 8-20 million pending on the restructure

 

Come free agency this team will easily been in the 30s-40s in cap space. We are in a really good situation cap wise for years to come because there are only 2 players on long term contracts that take up a large portion of our cap.

I literally never actually post here - just read. But this is a post worth making.

Some of you have some wild thoughts on this - “either gets a 1st for him or don’t trade him” …. What? There’s a reason literally NO ONE would give a first for him. Think about that. Beyond that, what good is keeping him when we aren’t winning with him and haven’t been? On top of eating his crazy contract? Some of you are so completely beyond the scope of reality thinking a RB at the tail end of his prime, who’s missed damn near half his career would get anything close to a first round pick. 
 

Are 49ers fans happy? I bet. They got a shiny new toy. And they probably think this will put them over the hump. I doubt it will. 
 

Go to the Saints Report forums. Go to the Falcons forums. The Seahawks forums. The Falcons forums. Hell - any forum (including Twitter) with a thread about this trade and literally everyone thinks SF gave up way too much for CMC. This place is the only place where people feel the Panthers got the raw end of this trade. 
 

we weren’t going to win with him and now we at least got a nice chunk of draft capital for a rebuild process and opened up a good amount of cap space. 
 

This was an AMAZING trade for the Panthers in their current situation, and if CMC helps SF, then good for them too. Obviously I want SF to lose as much as possible for draft position. 

You are not a smart person

This I agree with.. Finally rebuild the right way and stop looking for short cuts..

Get the right coach..

Foundation is DJ the Oline and the young parts of the defense...

Get the QB and more weapons in the draft (Wr, RB, TE) .. 2024 can add some vet spark to the defense... Contender 2025 beyond..

Nice, but the caveat to that is we probably only have a handful of players signed to the roster...

24 players but its the core. It includes everyone but Burns. Once we get to this point though we will  have gone through 2 drafts (15 total picks) and 2 free agent periods.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
