What's the deal with our cap situation going into next season? Yeah, I know Peppers will be a huge chunk if we keep him, but we also have to worry about Gross and Kasey and some others too, right? What are some of the options we have for restructuring contracts and/or available money to sign new players if we need to?

I found this 2008 salary breakdown. Is it still accurate?

A few that seem like areas that we can save some $.

Julius Peppers(DE) $14,137,500 - Per year number could go down when we resign him.

Jake Delhomme(QB) $10,956,666 - Could restructure.

Jordan Gross(OL) $7,461,240 - Could go up when we resign him?

Ken Lucas(CB) $5,905,000 - Should restructure...could even get cut.

John Kasay(K) $1,906,240 - Extended...not sure what the per-year hit is now.

Landon Johnson(LB) $1,705,000 - Definitely cut or restructured.

Tyler Brayton(LB) $1,525,000 - Was he a 1 yr deal? Seems high.

Ricardo Colclough(CB) $1,500,000 - Way high...cut/restructure.

Geoff Hangartner(OL) $1,423,240 - Hangman gets his.

Na'il Diggs(LB) $1,400,000

Jason Baker(K) $1,370,718 - New punter next year?

D.J. Hackett(WR) $1,217,500 - Cut/restructure.

Keydrick Vincent(OL) $955,000 - Not sure.

Nick Goings(RB) $902,023 - Cut...replace w/ draft pick.

yep there will be a whole lot of restructuring going on this offseason

landon johnson is making way too much to be a back-up, especially in this system, he's from a 3-4, we like the chunkier LBs for ST but this is too expensive

lucas has had some bad games, I still want him here because i don't think we could find a better player in the draft or FA, i think we should restructure or resign to something cheaper, he's never been as good as 2005, need to devote money elsewhere

hackett may be gone, he's not getting any touches which can't be that easy to deal with for a guy who had #2 in his sights, and hasn't really shown much either but we may keep him who knows, I'm expecting big things in the playoffs from him though

One thing that gives me faith, is that I feel like a lot of our players have a "win-first" mentality and we have very few "me-first" type players. Everyone wants to get paid what they deserve but I feel a lot of people would be willing to restructure for the sake of winning / keeping the team together.

Peppers - He wants to be in Carolina and everyone knows what kind of money he deserves and he will get that money. No problem here. I wouldn't be surprised if we lock him up for the rest of his career.

Delhomme - I have a feeling that he would play for some Bojangles as long as he is our starting QB.

This point was already demonstrated with the early signings of Kasay and Gamble. I'm sure Gamble could have gotten at least a slightly better deal if he tested free agency.

Others who would make some sort of sacrifice to stay in Carolina (IMO) - Gross, Beason, Hangman, Goings, Hoover, Muhammed.

I'm not talking about this offseason specifically, but just in general.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
