Every year people freak out about the cap and every year the Panthers spend.  Caps a myth and can manipulated to get what you want

Cap concerns are real. Ask any number of teams, including the current Saints. I mean, have we all forgotten how badly Hurney 1.0 left us cap strapped??

I tend to agree with you about the cap. But in fairness every year the Panthers are also trash. Sucks but that's the truth.

Think this has more to do with drafting and coaching.  Hopefully we are moving in the right direction.  At this time no one knows, and if they claim to they are full of poo

Drafting yes absolutely. Last year was a lack of talent on the coaching end more than anything IMO. You don't give up the most defensive points in history without having left the cupboards bare. Winning free agency is one thing. The 2025 draft class is going to be one of the most consequential in franchise history for us.

I hve to explain to why that is bad?

You can explain why it’s the end of the world. Moton is a core player who is still a top 10 RT in the league. We can extend and lower his cap hit if we want, and if he or the team doesn’t want to do that then we are paying a lot of money to a guy who is instrumental to our offense for one more year. The cap hit is not great, but at least he will play and play very well. Our problems have been dead cap.

Free agent defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. has agreed to a contract with the Dallas Cowboys, a source confirmed to ESPN.

 

It marks a return to Dallas for Fowler, who played for the team in 2022 and '23 before signing with the division-rival Washington Commanders last year. Fowler will help to replace defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who left Dallas to sign with the Seattle Seahawks this week.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
