First on Smitty getting rid of Jake. Sure he wasn't that happy but how long has he been wanting another WR? He has made it well known for this to happen a few years now and how has that gone? So they don't listen to SS.

The Big Cat last year in so many words said to is FO staff, see ya in 2012.

Boys and girls, get ready to get close to 90mil for the Cap instead of 125 or thereabouts last year.

You can speculate and wring your hands over picks and free agency. It may not be a fire sale but this FO is basically going into a financial bunker for two seasons and want to come out and see if there is anything left and will go from there.

Unlike the model franchise Pitt that they supposedly emulate, Pitt is saying they are acting as if there is a salary cap. That may well be the case but don't expect anything splashy.

Bargain hunting is what you will see and that's it. Can they get a good squad that way? Remains to be seen.

waaa....waaa... mommy?!?!?!?!

no. stop your crying. they're gearing up for something huge. or at least semi huge. cause they did something similar to this just before they picked up david carr... which at the time was a huge signing for us, considering we thought he'd compete for the starting job... so with that being said...

a wide receiver or a new QB will be signing with us soon. derek anderson just got released.... you never know!

    • 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.
    • 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.
