Why does Pat Y say we only have 40mil to spend?

Don't we have like 75 mil in cap space without any contract reworking?

[d-run]

Well we have about 83 committed to the cap counting Kalil's tag, so that leaves about 40 of the estimated 120-130 free.

[SevenSixes]

There's a difference between spending to the cap and spending to the floor.

Besides he says " over $40 Mil" so he's playing long ball on that number..

[teeray]

I think we actually are only on the hook for 73 million against the cap which actually means we will have to spend @40 million to even reach the floor.

[teeray]

according to the Altius Directory of sports salaries the current salary liability for the 2011 Carolina Panthers is just $73 million. If these two numbers are accurate it would mean the Carolina Panthers would need to spend approximately $40 million to reach the cap floor. So, how would they do this?

This doesn't sound right. We're gonna be right at the neck of the cap after extending Beason.

[Lumps]

so everyone saying we will have plenty to resign everyone and then some is this true? 40 mil doesn't seem all that much to do that...

[Swarly]

Kalil will get a long term deal and that number will increase

[CarolinaVeins]

So are they saying with have at least 40 million minimum to spend and 80 after that?

[teeray]

$40 million is a ton of cap room. But expect most of that to go to re-signing our own players. The Panthers are either #1 or #2 in cap space. But only Beason, Williams, and maybe Kalil will command big possibly 8 figure contracts. We have plenty of space to keep those who we want to stay and that want to be here.

Those people that think that all of the sudden we are going to spend big money on free agents are probably going to be really disappointed. Our FO doesn't like to spend big on free agents because they believe that if those players were really that good they wouldn't be free agents.

Expect them to make some moves and fill some holes but I doubt all of the sudden we are going to go all Redskin's model and overpay for top tier free agents that aren't worth the price they will command.

In other words free agents are almost always overrated and/or overpriced.

OMG.... Really... Hey guys, apparently we'll be giving Beason 40 mil this year...

JT... Since you dont understand how contracts work, or how the salary cap works, let me break it down for you...

Allegedly we have to spend 40 mil this year... This will be on multiple players btw not just Beason... Out of that 40 mil... The only thing that counts is what we pay players for this year alone, to include signing bonuses...

For example if we gave Beason a 5 year deal worth 30 million... He would get a percentage of that 30 mil each of his 5 years of that deal... Ultimately that would break down to about 6 mil this year... Which would still leave the FO with roughly 34 million to spend on signing other free agents/draft picks...just this year alone... His 30 mil over 5 years doesn't count for just thus year...

Do u get it now?

I know that you fugging fugtard. Beason plus our core and Cam plus FA's is gonna take up at LEAST 30 million in cap.

You just stay busy making shitty threads.
