Damn imagine if Hurney was still here. Running backs for days

Remember when we were worried about having to pay Cam $25M/year? Now Daniel fuging Jones is gonna get 40. Crazy

OTC was working off the assumption of a $225M cap.  Pretty dang close.

So, who we cutting to get us in a good position during free agency?

I saw on Spotrac that 12% of our cap is dead cap.

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.

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.

You think Jackson is done due to his injury proneness?

i think so. he was always a little overrated. his main asset was speed, which will be hurt by his torn achilles

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.

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.

It would be nice to add some talent during FA

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.
