Pretty typical numbers.  There are teams with numbers in the 80s and 90s. Looks like we are doing pretty good now

What??

60 million is not typical my friend, unless you just waived Russy WIlson.

Most times Panthers were 1st or 3rd in dead cap.

The goal is to be as close to 0 as possible, within winning games reasons(future).

Panthers averaged like 5 wins and 60,000,000 in dead cap.

Brother that's the worst you can do, you almost have to try to get that bad....

2024 was Tillis cleaning up contracts Ave 2025 looks pretty normal. 2026 is currently less than 3 million. This is Tillis’s job now and he looks to be handling it better. On top of that we actually have extra space we can rollover into next year if needed.

Seahawks are 4th in dead cap right now with 77m.

Yeah, it has 100% been absolutely terrible but we are moving in the right direction cap wise. But sadly I’m not sure we are talent/coaching wise yet…

That is true, you can see the results in 2025 is nearly half the past few years. There are still some Fittterererereres deals incoming- Motown, cobrett, etc. 

I do think the goal each year should be under 10mill and always try for 0. Just with the UDFA deals, its impossible to be 0. 

But 50-60 million is insane, especially year-2-year. Fix that to one single season, not the norm.....

The talent was depleted so I’m willing to give the coaches a little time. We have to start hitting on these drafts.

Scott Fitterer was the worst GM in decades. What makes it even more insulting is at times over those years people here were practically ready to throw down if you questioned his expertise.

 

I was late to realize this. 

I loved the draft trade value he was able to collect, too bad he suck socks at the most important part of selecting players with the picks. 

They interviewed like 12 people for GM and then Scott called at the end and got a interview. Then is was over....Rhule was in charge the first two years, then when fittterererere got the keys, he was worse than rhule.....like how???

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
