Cap room, money to burn?

Peppers has no effect on the comming cap if he leaves. If franchised its around 17 mill hit.

Lucas hurts about 9mil.

Hackett maybe 1mill, his contract was next to nothing.

Johnson I'm not sure of, he got a decent deal, but nothing really outragous.

Jake will get an extension for him to retire or get cut with. Pushing his cap hit back several years, I would guess 3-5 mill in cap savings from that.

So maybe another 10mill ? Keep in mind that number Yasinskas threw out it's 100% by any means. Hurney and his people do some masterful cap work with contracts and incentives.

the cap is 123 million with club/player benefits rising that to around 149 million for the upcoming season. Landon Johnson was given a 3 year 10 million dollar deal and his salary for next season is around 2 million. Lewis is getting paid 3.17 million next year. Lucas salary next year is 5.6 million. Hackett's salary next season is 2.3 million. Cutting all of those players would net us around 13 million in cap space. pushing our total cap room after peppers and gross' contract come off the books, leaving us with around 44 million in cap space to sign players. Add more to that if we extend Delhomme's contract. Leave 10 million of the top for Various reasons (rookie pool, etc.) and we have roughly 34 million for FA.

That being said...

I don't like the phrase 'money to burn.' Don't need to throw money at some Vet just to see what he can do. But I think we all know that. Be smart like last offseason and take calculated risks. If we get a team together for under 20 mil under the cap, then more power to us.

Salary only doesn't equal cap hit.

Exactly. Plus cutting them sometimes mean that the portion of their compensation which is prorated over 3 years for example becomes due when they are cut or if a June 1 cut over 2 years (roster bonus, signing bonus, inentives likely to be earned). So cutting them may or may not save us money.

all of them save us money immediately. Lucas is the only really tricky one, I believe His cap hit is 9 million close to ten, but if he's cut after/before (can't remember the date) a certain date then his cap hit want occur till next season. So he still saves us that 5.6 mill for this season and then next season we would take a hit on the signing bonus which is 4.5 mill per season. ( the possibility that next season wont have a cap and that doesn't really affect us now does it.)

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
