Per Adam Schefter:

On the eve of free agency, some teams are positioned too well, and others not so well. Based on numbers gathered Thursday — and these are fluid, changing with each roster move that each team makes — here are the teams with the most and least salary-cap room heading into the start of free agency.

MOST

Tampa Bay — $61 million

Kansas City — $57 million

Philadelphia — $48 million

Denver — $37 million

Green Bay — $34 million

LEAST

Carolina — $1.9 million

New England — $3.2 million

Indianapolis — $6.6 million

Pittsburgh — $7.4 million

Washington — $8.1 million

I think this does include all recent moves. IMO, being under the cap is all that matters. Now that the team is in a position that they can keep the tag on Peppers and not have to release him, offers will start to come in. I would not be surprised if Peppers is traded to Denver or Houston by Monday and the Panthers have close to 20 million to spend in FA.

Assumming that the 1.9 million is up to date and current that would have left the Panthers $2.1 million over the cap IF it wasn't increased by 4 million yesturday. Wonder what other moves/cuts were coming if that increase didn't happen?

That's why I'm iffy on it being up to date. Hurney said before they updated the cap that the wasn't planning on cutting anyone else. He probably knew about it ahead of time though.

Really why do we need a lot of cap space if we keep Peppers? Not really much in the FA pool and we dont have a 1st round pick. With the cutting of Lucas and more then likely restructure of Delhomme and maybe even Smith we will have just enough to sign our Picks.

Not a big deal, It probably doesn't include the last two restructures. Which would put us around 5.5 which is pretty close to the my estimate of seven. There's also the chance that we still cut lucas as well.

Well the Gamble restructure saved the team 8million right?

So we should be in the teens by the time every move is made.

The 1.9 would have included the Gamble restructure as it happened/reported earlier this week.

And for the record, Delhomme's contract can not be restructured. The only way the Panthers can save cap room with Delhomme is to cut him or extend his contract.

True. But that $20 M won't be very useful if we don't move him in the very early days of FA.

      If we don't extend him, there is no way another team would offer him more than a one year $10m prove it deal lol.

      He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line

      The Bryce hate is nearly laughable.  He looked like garbage the first two games, but has really, really shown improvement and growth.  People who know football are taking notice.  Will Bryce ever be Arron Rodgers, Farvre, Manning or any other hotshot gunslinger?  No, but I think he is a smart football player who has survived a lot more than most other QB's would have after 2.5 years.  So long as this injury doesn't linger I think you will see legitimate growth over the next two years, with a big leap coming next season. Reich and Brown not working together, Duce causing trouble behind the scenes.  Starting WR's of Mingo and Chark.  No legitimate scheme for the OL.  Fitterer's general incompetence. An owner who was desperate for attention.  How did Zac Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Tribuski, Rosen, Lawarence, Fields, Jones, Pickett, and Richardson fair after 2.5 years?  We see what happens when the Texans have not given Stroud the support. The 2018 draft had great talent, they just needed to mature, hell we wasted two of the top three drafted that year.  Outside of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, or Drake Maye, I'm not sure I really would want any other 1st round QB drafted in the past 10 years? RELAX......  Bryce is our guy as we grow as a team.  The only other option I currently see is maybe a buy low draft pick on Drew Allar if he falls to the third round or lower. Bryce is going to be extended.  He won't get Prescott money which would benefit our team going forward.  A mid range extension like Darnold or Baker got may be just the thing this team needs to keep growing.
