The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye: Panthers Free Agent fits

He just posted an article more about safeties. Mentions Holland, Tre'von Moehrig, Hamlin, and some draft prospects. Hadn't considered the Damar Hamlin connection (we hired the trainer that saved him, hosted an event with the Teppers). 

Lock it in, Hamlin becomes a Panther. Double dip and sign Moehrig while we're at it.

I am reading that both Sweat and Williams from the Eagles might command 20 million or more a season so with our cap we have no chance. But if we control the cap this year things ease up if we don't kick too much down the road. But a 4 year contract with a voidable year  gives up 5 years to spread the signing bonus which could be half of his 80 million salary or 40 million which is 8 million cap per year for 5 years. You give him a 1 million dollar salary for a total cap of 9 million this year. The other 40 million gets spread over the 4 years at 10 million each and we can fit it in our cap. You can figure out multiple scenarios to manipulate the numbers, build in roster bonuses, restructure down the road, but if we want him we can figure out a way to pay him. Tepper having all that cash over cap gives us flexibility to do what we want.

We better not be trying to sign 20 million dollar players.  That's insane

    • People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.
    • i lived in Atlanta from 84'to 92' & back then it was indeed a very different time without the internet & access to information 24/7. shortly after i moved back home to western NC around 93' or 94' the Carolina Panthers were awarded an NfL franchise & began their inaugural season in 95' so ike you i have seen the Carolina Panthers, ,the NFL ,technology, fans all evolve over the many a moon & years now some for the better & others not so ...just saying 
    • I wouldn't even bet on us winning the NFC South. All four teams had excellent Drafts.
