Which is almost all of you.....

Help me figure out how much cap space is available if we don't resign Peppers and release Lucus. I know that we don't have a clue what Peps proposed contract would look like but I think we can all assume that it would have to be a top 5 at his position kind of deal. I don't think he would stay here for less.

teams that want to stay competitive do not resign guys in their late 20's for record breaking deals....

Not advocating such. I simply want to know..... if we don't have to pay those two guys, how much money will we have to go out and replace them? Lucus will have some sort of cap hit for the remainder of his contract and Pep will free up what we would have paid him. So in eqaution form it would be something like this.

Avail$ = Pep$ + (Luc$ - SalryCap BS)

with the cap going up and what Peppers and Gross were already making this year, if the FO wanted to sign them then they easily could without making drastic changes

If Peppers already turned down Freeny money as rumored, then we should let him walk. He isn't worth 100 million at his age, plus we apparently are going to need to chase a CB in FA. I hear Haynesworth is available as well and I read last week he listed Carolina as one of the places he would like to play, although he might demand the same amount as Peppers, but who knows.

They could also franchise Pep and then trade him to a bad team for a decent first round pick (which we need this year) and use the pick to draft a DE. Cut Lucus and use the cap space (from trading Pep and cutting Lucus) to go sign a free agent DB and a safety. All the while having enough to resign Gross and keep some continuity on the O-line which was the best we've had in years.

Just thinkin' out loud...

I have a question. Does anyone know the rules on swapping franchised players? Just throwing this out there, but let's say NE franchises Cassel and Panthers franchise Peppers. Can you do a straight swap on franchised players or do draft picks still have to change hands? Just thinking out loud as well..

Cassel was franchised because Brady isn't recovering as fast as they had hoped. Cassel is worth more to the Pats then Peppers would be at the moment.

      2026 Schedule. My goodness

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
