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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
