The salary cap plays a massive role in how things operate in the NFL.

Every year the Panthers are stuck restructuring bad contracts due to having little to no money to spend. Hence why we were a mess during Cam’s time here. 

We’re about to have two of the most important positions locked up under rookie deals and right off the bat we hand out a dumb deal to Shy Tuttle and quite frankly a bit more than we should’ve for Hurst

Fitterer needs to win this year and is going to sacrifice a lot of our future to try and do so. This is how the mess begins. Sue me for wanting to see the Panthers build a consistent winning team

better?

I'm still waiting on those details for the Shaq Thompson restructure. If we hit on our QB and nail the draft while giving our offense some much needed infusion of talent I'll give Fitterer a good bit of leeway but so far much of what he's doing as far as the salary cap goes really isn't all that different from Hurney or Gettleman. Some of the apologists won't want to hear mention of that but it's true.

Person said the same.

Basically he didn't say "no". He's just exploring options.

Neither one is official. They're not a mouthpiece employed by Tepper like a certain other former beat writer. You could have just posted the tweet. You didn't have to add it's official as if Newton's word had any actual weight with the team.

 

Relax! I'm just busting your chops a little. 😉

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
