What the hell is with the cap space?

[chubs2496]

Ok guys, I'm so confused in this topics. There have been atleast 10 different articles that have all declared we have different cap space. Although all have us on a tight budget but some have us as at almost 10 mill under the cap. While some have us at at almost 10 over. Idk how there can be that big a difference. I know it's hard to judge but surely to god somebody's has a clue. I'm starting to think this forum has more knowledge than reporters and beat writers and sports networks ;).

It's kind of a big deal ya know. It might decide if we could pursue any free agents or it could be that we have to restructure and cut like hell just to sign our new draftees. And as a fan I kind of wanna know. Anybody got some knowledge to drop

Exactly. We will somehow get under the cap without too much pain, and we will then sign the players the FO feels are worthy. They won't be the 5 star free agents that most fans want, but like it or not, it is not the team's philosophy to sign the big names no matter what the cap situation.

Look for the Panthers to do little early on in FA. Once the dust settles, they will pick a player here and there to fit the perceived needs.

I believe much of the discrepancy falls on whether the website is including the money we will spend on signing our draft picks.

Well the league hasn't announced what the cap is for next year. Any number you see is not only guessing what our exact cap hit is, but what the actual cap is.

You haven't seen any because it wasn't expected to go up any at all, because the NFL sent teams a memo explaining that the Cap wouldn't go up for the 2012 season back in October.

Now with the new reports coming out, it might go up to 125.

I just hope we bring back John kasay who is a free agent. I know he is on his last leg inthe NFL, but he is a class act and under pressure is automatic. He is still better than Mare and would not break the bank. Let him retire a Panther !

Let it be God would tell us what's going on

Mo money mo problems.

People act like were going to have to let ten people go just to sign our draft picks. Don't worry about it. We're on a tight budget, but there will be a few signings.

I like the Idea of building through the draft. Its like we raise these players and make them into good ball players. No homo but it makes for a good relationship between the players and the whole organization.
