We’re cleaning up the salary cap for 2024, we will get a QB with a rookie contract etc. Far from doom and gloom.

At least somebody gets it.  Good job!  This year is obviously toast and next year is will be year-1, basement floor of the rebuild.  No big FA signings required, so not a whole lot of cap room needed.

Cut/trade Shaq and you get to $10m in space. After that, just need to decide how, if at all, active they want to be in FA. Simple base year salary restructures of Moore and Moton would open up an additional ~$14m or ~$10m respectively. If you don’t want to do any restructures, extending Burns and bringing next year’s cap hit down from $16m to $6-8m would also work. 
 

We’ll swallow the dead cap pain this year and next. Easier said than done, but if we hit on the next coach and rookie QB, Panthers will be set up well to make noise in 2024

If it makes you feel any better, the Saints are projected to be $65M over the cap with just 36 guys signed next year.

And no 1st Rounder

The salary cap is not great, but it's nowhere near disaster.  Especially considering we aren't going to be adding a huge QB salary next year.

Somehow the saints voodoo cap manager will have them 30mil under before the draft.

i remember just two years ago when we were sitting pretty

looking at this you’d think we just made a run or something not looking back at multiple 5 wins and ahead to a 1-16 season
