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?

$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.

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

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.

      And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.

      I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

      3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
