Cap Question

[ProcessBlue2]

So per Over the Cap we have about $24,000,000 in cap space after the Thielen deal. 
 

wtf are we doing with it. 
 

I know we need to save a little for emergencies, but going in with that much seems excessive. I also understand that there isn’t much talent available, but are we just going to sit on this until March or is Morgan looking for a mid-season deal to pop up.

I don’t remember the last time we had this much at Week 1.

Does it not rollover to next year if we don’t use it?

Yeah I think so, but have you seen these holes?

Doesn’t a trade involve dead money?

I would hope we roll it over. If Bryce proves to be the guy this season, we will go all in over the next few years on big name splash guys. If he isn't, we will draft a QB early and spend it on defense.

Its not excessive. Its below median.  Panthers are 19th in cap space.

yes it rolls over.  We're going to go with what we have and develop our young guys this year because we're not ready to compete at a playoff level.  And we have to sign Ickey and Bryce soon, if Bryce continues to develop.  We need all the cash we can get.  Next year we'll move ahead with helping the defense, and then it's time to spend draft capitol replacing some of the more expensive OL and DL talent we've paid in the last 2 years, and it's a lot.

We roll it over if we’re smart. Just paid Horn, Moton and Ickey extension probably coming. 

There is absolutely no point in spending money on the guys left in FA just to spend money.

The detached-from-reality part of my brain keeps wondering if we enter the Parsons sweepstakes
