I dont know... CAP hell doesnt seem that bad if you already know going into the season that you will suck. 

Its like a legalized version of tanking. So why not spend till you break it?

The cap can be manipulated yes but it's always a matter of time before you have to eat a shīt sandwich. And the perception of that hinges on how well you are doing. When things are going good and your team is winning it's more palatable. But that has not always been the case with our Panthers at all. I do not think we should be "all in" by any means at this juncture. How we do this season will determine that down the line. As of right now we should not be looking to mortgage the future for one of the worst passing offenses in the league.

I get what your saying.. but Ive seen how trying to play 'middle of the road' has gone.

Sign everyone and let the spreadsheet nerds figure it out. It's such a drag seeing fans have anxiety over sports budgets. We don't actually even know how much cap space the team has, sites are guessing.

Total up the Tepper era, we thought it was bad before…

Morgan is also slow to announce restructures/releases. We probably won’t have a real idea on cap space until Saturday or Sunday. Hell maybe not even until Wednesday after the tampering period has already started.

The first Free Agents the last two years we signed were:

Robert Hunt

Trevon Moehrig

So we will see who will be first this year around noon on Monday.

I am willing to accept pushing the salary cap to it's limits if we are improving the defense as much as possible. Because being balanced along the roster like that will allow us to plug in another QB down the line if need be. But I am not in favor of it if we are once again cutting off our nose financially and neglecting other positions just to try and put elite offensive pieces around the smallest starting QB in the league. Balance is the key.
