NFL cap going way up

I was told the Panthers have no money to play with and did a poo job managing their salary cap. Now with this new number... and the 3 players eating up 40million in cap space that are about to get restrucured or released... we can expect an active free agency. 

Also, the Panthers have over 150 million available next year. Top 5 in total cap available.

we have a ton of cap room. they can restructure both moore and moton to create a ton of space. also cut shaq, possibly donte jackson, eflein, and zane gonzalez. 

Cutting Jackson would be boneheaded...You keep him one more year and you get 10million back in saving.. cut him this year you pay 12m and save 2m... there is no value in cutting Jackson. Trading? different story.

you save over $5M if you cut him post 6/1

cap is not an issue is 2024

You still eat 8m in dead cap. That's not worth it. You'd be cutting him for pennies on that dollar at the point. You'd be better off letting him heal up and show that he can still play football and shopping him in the offseason. 

If we were a team in dire need of cap space and in desperation mode, that would be the only reason to even consider that option. We are not that team. 

There is no business logic behind cutting ties with D-Jax in 2023 that would provide us any value or cap relief. 

2024 cap is not an issue... but that doesnt mean you can cut people just to cut people bc it wont cost money later.... thats not how you run any type of business, let alone a NFL franchise.

respectfully disagree. the $8M is no different than the $10M sitting on the books for Robbie Anderson. the $5.2M could go to an important piece if you think Jackson is done after the injury. do i think they cut him, no, but i would.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
