Not trying to steal anybody's thunder and if mods feel a need by all means merge this with another one.

Last years cap was officially 120.375 million

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7570116/nfl-plenty-cap-room-improve

The panthers spent 117.575 miillion.

Leaving 2.8 million unused money to be carried over this year per the new cba.

The cap is not expected to change much(less than a million but wont be officially announced until the next 2 weeks.)

The panthers currently have 132.775 million commited but get a 2.8 million deduction(the money we did not use last year) to the 2012 cap, hence the reports of us being 9.6 million over.

We have to be under the cap by 4 p.m on march 13th, so we will see some cuts and restructures soon.

If we stay put where we are at our draft pick will get a 4 year deal worth around 13 million. Jake Locker last years 8th pick got a 4 year 12.56 deal

and the 9th pick Tyron smith got a 4 year 12.49 million dollar deal. Lockers Cap hit was 2.287 million for 2011. The 40th pick in the draft last year got a 4 year 4.85 million dollar deal. The cap hit for 2011 was only 385k tho.

Its safe to assume the cap hits from this years draft picks will be about 4 million.

So once we do get under the cap just remember we have 4 million commited to draft picks.

Our priciest free agent we probably want to keep is Shockey. He made 3.81 Million on a 1 year deal last year.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Looks like we're fifth in running plays/play action plays when in the lead and about 10th in the league when we fall behind.  The biggest thing I take from this is not that we drop off like that, because every team does, but that we drop off so much. A lot of the best teams don't  drop off much, depending on the game situation, preferring to stick to their game plan through out. Some of those are very good teams. Baltimore barely deviates from their run/action heavy plan. At the other end, KC also barely deviates, but they have one of the least run oriented attacks in the league by these stats. On the other side, there are teams that make even bigger shifts (based on last year's performance) and they are teams that for various reasons found themselves in desperation attempts. Dallas, Atlanta, the Browns, Bucs and Bengals were all literally throwing out their game plans and trying to either lean on their top end QB or were just frantically trying to create something downfield. Considering the years of us completely abandoning the run (oh those Matt Rhule days), maybe we are starting to stabilize. Don't even get me started on the Reich days...

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      I am kindof in the camp that its not an addiction for him just a dumb ass kid who didnt think he would get caught.  I think the "addiction" angle was the story they went with in hopes of not being banned for life   But I doubt we show interest as I think he is going to be pricey (Draft capital wise)
