So it's becoming obvious...

[The Answer]

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?

[Jackofalltrades]

Could be that they just want flexibility if they're interested in any of the FA's, I don't interpret it to mean they have one guy they're focused on.

[Brooklyn Bully]

More like, they're making elbow room in case they have to keep somebody.

DING DING DING DING!!!! You are correct sir

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?

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

[carpanfan96]

looks like were going to be signing a few mid tier guys. We have a little over 7 million with lucas still on the books.

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

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.

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!

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...

[The Answer]

People who are saying we are just trying to stay flexible, we are wayyyy under the cap already. I'm thinking a big name corner or making room for a Peppers trade for whomever we may be signing in that.

[Jackofalltrades]

Lucas to Cleveland for Rodgers...

Wishful thinking.
