"Panther's spending spree cap hits in future seasons"

The recent spending spree by the Carolina Panthers, highlighted by owner Jerry Richardson writing checks for more than $100 million in signing bonuses, is going to come with a very steep price -- down the road.

I just looked ahead to what each team currently has committed to the salary cap in 2014 and 2015. The Panthers lead the league in both years and it’s not even close.

The Panthers already have $91.6 million committed toward the cap in 2014. The Green Bay Packers are next at $62 million and most teams are around $30 million to $40 million. Heck, the Cleveland Browns are last with $17.7 million scheduled against the cap that year.

Not a whole lot going on right this minute, thought it was at least slightly interesting how high the numbers were.

Is it really a bad thing that we have our core group of talent locked up for the next few years?

Not at all, just thought it was interesting at how high the 2014 and 2015 cap figures are with very few players signed on to the team. I'm glad the team went and spent the money to keep the Core around for the next few seasons.

Also not a whole lot going on right now and figured it would get some witty remarks. "huddle never fails"

ESPN never fails with irrelevant articles. You are right, at least it I'd something to talk about even if they make it sound like it is something bad.

According to the article there are six guys scheduled to make over 60 million in 2015. That is a lot for 6 guys, but all of it isn't guaranteed. Also, the Raiders were 15 million over the cap last week and got under by restructuring a couple contracts.

This article is interesting, but nothing to be concerned about.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
