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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
