Lol, we are on the hook for this monster contract for a RT and nowhere near contention.  This is what you do for a plug and play elite RT on a SB contending team.  We are dog poo and paying a RT a king's ransom. 

And guess what? It doesn't matter because they suck so bad its not hurting anything 🤣🤣🤣

Bro you sweating so much over spending David Teppers money RN get a grip.

You apparently don't realize unused cap space rolls over to the next season.  So yeah, this year's cap numbers affects next year's cap space.  I could care less how much cash Moton got from Tepper, I care about how much cap he's taking up.

Teams have to spend 90% of the cap over a 4-5 year period and a set amount each year as well.

That doesn't mean you have to nearly max out though.   It was a desperate signing to keep Bryce's OL fully intact in an attempt to save Bryce's job for 2026 and the coaching staff as well.  That's why we went WR in round 1...again and drafted a RB as well as a TE fully knowing our defense needed all the help they could get.

They have 13.5m in cap space left while spending 269m because of roll over from 2024. (2025 cap ceiling is 275m) 

They have around 22-24m in 2026 counting Motons contract and can save 17m cutting Young, Corbett and Wonnum. "This is with a cap ceiling of 295m"

This is not counting Moton's contract which will drop us below $40M and into the low 20's for all team cap space.  This didn't have to happen, but the brass went all-in on Bryce.  We could have let him walk, went with one of our current guys or signed a RT much cheaper.  In an ironic kind of way it's going to cement Bryce's downfall if he can't turn it around.  If he's not getting pressured/being sacked and he still stinks, we know Bryce has got to go.

29+13.5 in roll over is 42.5m. 

They already have 266m of 295 spent for 2026 with 38 players on the roster. Hence the 29m in cap space I listed above, count the roll over and you get 42.5m in space. 

Minus Moton at 18-20m and you get 22-24m in cap space. 

They are going to move on from Bryce, Corbett and Wonnum. 

That gives them 39m and 35 roster spots taken of 51. 

Add 8 rookies at 12m salary. 

You've got 43 roster spots filled and 27m in cap space. 

 

On top of all that, Moton will help solidify the line for a new rookie QB next season.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
