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 try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
