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...

      Legette for Coleman?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions. Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.
