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 LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
