Panthers have the third highest cap figures in the league will have to cut and restructure contracts before new league year in march.

Yea, that's not surprising with the money owed to Smith, Wharton, Gross and Gamble plus Johnson, Williams and Beason's deals are front loaded.

That also probably contains the 5 million base salary and cap hit currently expected to be made by Thomas Davis. If he's cut before the year starts that goes down to virtually nothing.

I don't understand how our cap is so high considering we haven't signed any players besides vet min and Mare in the past two years. I don't believe we are still playing players like Jake so how is our Cap this high? All I can say is if we don't restructure and cut some players then Hurney should be fired for putting us in this situation. No way a team that is coming off a 2-15,6-10 season with NO big free agent acquisitions have a team salary this high.

Um, we haven't signed players but anything to the vet minimum? Did you not see Charles Johnson's 70+ million contract? What about Kalil's? Beason, Anderson, or Davis'?

What is just as important as the amout of money committed to next year's cap is the NUMBER of players that amount is committed to.

All of our free agents have a $0 cap hit for next year.

And restructuring doesn't necessarily mean "guys will be more willing to take less money". It just pushes the the costs down the road. That's why we are where we are. Kinda like our government is doing.

Thats people who were re-signed. I am talking about us signing new players to come to Carolina.

I think Wharton,Davis, and Otah should make a restructure. I know Davis and Otah don't make that much but every bit helps.

I would love to see us restructure Gamble but I don't know if he will take a pay cut with the kind of year he just had.

NOBODY does. Nobody knows what the league revenue is. The fiscal year hasn't ended yet.

That's kind of what I thought but didn't know if I was missing something. Since we don't know what number we have to hit we certainly can't know what we need to do to hit it.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
