Now, I may be wrong about this, but it was my understanding that because of moves we've already made, and the cap raising up to $127 Million, that we weren't in as bad of cap space as people initially thought.

I keep seeing that we are turning to some vets to restructure to get a few million here and a few million there, so my question is why?

I respect the opinions of a lot of people on these forums and was wondering about everyones' thought's on what Hurney & Co. are doing. I mean, the day we move Pep we will be in as good a salary cap situation as anyone else in the league, but we keep making moves. I guess I'm just hinting that I think Pep stays this year for sure, or these $1 M restructuring moves here and there wouldn't be necessary. I don't know what the rookie signings for the 50-something overall pick is, but I know it's not that much.

Your thoughts?

I didn't see this thread while writing mine, so I'll post here. I wrote the exact same thing. Seems to me like they are making room in order to keep Pep and his $17 M price tag...

What kind of a deal do you guys think a mid-tier CB like Leigh Bodden will get?

The Panthers are clearly looking to sign someone, with the mass amount of restructures and cuts this quickly, they are going for a big signing IMO, so...

Who are they planning on picking up?

I totally agree. They are clearing space to somebody. Trade for Cassel? Sign TJ Whosyourmama?

I ts not to be flexable they are already flexable. Having two DT restructure points towards signing a big time DT.

I disagree. I don't think 2 DT's would want to restucture to get a big name DT to come in a take their job. I want to see us pick up a CB, or even an Antonio Smith or Bertrand Berry for depth.

Maybe a 3 team trade that sends Lucas somewhere else and gets us Lito Sheppard? Not sure...

Can't wait for tomorrow and this weekend!

we have to clear space to get under b/c of Pep I thought?

we will sign average to below average defensive guys and keep on as usual. imo.

The adjustments made with Gamble and Lewis and the release of Bridges, Goings, and Hackett (plus the cap raise by $4M) did that. Now we are making room for someone else...

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
