Panthers Cap Trouble, Link Of Contracts


Recommended Posts

I wanted to find a good website that outlined the current players and their contracts so I could decide exactly what is happening with our Cap room.

We have a lot of money tied up in mediocre players. But, I wanted to share this link, I think it helps understand some of what is going on.

On a positive note, we lose a lot of dead weight next year.

First off remember that not every contract counts toward the cap. We will bring in 80 + players into camp but only so many of those count towards the cap, something like the top 53 until final roster cuts are made in August. Secondly, I don't get the worry as if it your money or the FO could restructure or extend more players if they wanted too sign someone else. The cap can be manipulated a number of ways.

Given Smith is a free agent in 2013 I expect to see an extension done in the next several months if not weeks. With that and the Wharton money which kicks in June 1st, and the (3) 500,000 credits we can take for three of the highest salary guys with 5 years experience in 2012, we should have more than enough to sign some guys if we want to do it.

    • Have to stop making everything about BY. They will and have been bringing in players to improve the TEAM, not just Bryce Young. Which is something they should have done BEFORE bringing in a rookie QB. Even Metchie is a generally good pickup at a position of need. He just happens to have played with BY in college. And that doesn't hurt his chances or the team's. Morgan just addressed the biggest areas of need on the team via free agency so they won't be reaching for a position of need in the draft. He's legit picking the best player available for the TEAM in the draft. The o-line was in shambles in 2023. He addressed it in 2024. The d-line was in shambles in 2024. He addressed it in 2025. The pass rush and linebackers were in shambles in 2025. He's addressed it in 2026. Unfortunately good young WRs don't hit the FA market, so can't just throw money at them. You have to draft them. I wonder what some would be saying if they'd spent the amount of cap on the offense that they spent on the defense in 2025 and 2026 - and then used both first round draft picks on defense. Would that have been better in your eyes? No. You would be complaining that the defense is too young to compete and more vets weren't brought in because they're trying to prop up BY. This team should be talented enough now to make some noise in the South. If BY is actually holding them back, then QB will be addressed in 2027. They benched him 2 games into their tenure and you think they're tied to his success. No. That doesn't compute. They're tied to the team's success. BY could throw for 5000 yards and if they're 4 - 13, head's will roll.  TLDR: Their decisions aren't driven by making BY look good. They're trying to improve the team and win games. Period. 
    • I still firmly believe that Tepper still has his mandate of make Bryce work or get fired and because of that, it doesn't matter how badly he does... He'll get a long term deal in the 40-50m range and set back this franchise for a decade. Then the Teppers will have another QB infatuation and maybe they get it right then.
