I just don't get why anyone would worry about money thats not even theres. When watching a movie do you guys worry about how much the actor got payed or how well he performed. Lets just be happy were talking about football and not the cba.

time for my "O" face

Spending too much doesn't allow us to improve in areas that we were lacking in last year. I am sure you would be angry if we gave 1 player 25% of our salary cap in a given year because then we would have no way to compete at other positions.

I am not saying that we would ever do that, and personally I agree with the push we made to sign dwill and cj, but as the worst team in the league last year we defiantly need improvements in other areas, and just signing our own players won't help that.

Have you seen CJ and dwill's contract? im gonna guess no. The collective knowledge of this boards experience on the salary cap is derived from madden and EA's head coach.

I have complete faith in the teams salary cap management.

Do you not get it??? I am not against the signings.... but it is very true that the cap is more important than ever before!

Why????

Because for the next 10 years all teams will have a hard salary floor, and a hard salary cap. Meaning that each team's player payroll will be almost the same. So the team that best manages that cap will have a leg up on other teams....

It's like all teams have a allowance that is the same and they all must spend it... One team can go overpay and spend most of his allowance on one player, and not be left with enough to be competitive. Another team might bargain hunt and spend money on a bunch of bargain players, and they won't have enough talent to be a contender...

The winners are going to be the one's who finds good bargains, manage the cap well, and knows when to over spend and not over spend on players.

So to not think about the cap is a irresponsible way of thinking.

That's true but unless or until we know the structure of the deals we're just making a lot of assumptions. None of them are likely to be straight up amount of money/years.

I haven't seen the contract, and I am sure you haven't either. But what worries me is the fact that we haven't addressed any of our needs besides a no frills run stopping dt. I don't think we are done in FA at all and we didn't go way way overboard in what we paid.

Talk to me again when I see an upgrade on our roster to the lack of depth at CB and WR and when we bring in a veteran QB to help out the stable of rookie/1st year QBs on our roster.

The salary cap is an important part of football. That's why it's a common topic in football forums. If you don't want to talk about it then don't start a thread saying we shouldn't worry about it, we as fans worry about the decisions our teams make, whether we are right or wrong, informed or uninformed. We discuss cap and player management. It's a part of being a fan. Get over yourself BatKid.

No! you don't get it. Your not the GM your a fan, I could understand if you were in the meetings but your not. Our job as fans is to watch the games eat the hotdogs and cheer for our favorite team which is the carolina panthers.

It's not worrying about how much money this or that guy is making cause thats not our decision to make no matter how much you wanna debate about it.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
