That's when Travelle Wharton's cap hit finally comes off the books. By that time pretty much every free agent worth a damn will be off the market though.

Hopefully, the Panthers have already worked out deals with a few quality free agents and are just waiting for this move to finalize until they can push through the paperwork and officially announce that they are signed. Also, this means it's much more likely that we'll be able to re-sign Shockey (not resign for you grammar nazis).

I'll be watching that date (and maybe the following few days after) specifically to see if our FO has any tricks left up their sleeves. I guess we'll see what happens...

Yep, hopefully we've told Shock to hold tight until then. Too bad we missed out on Garay but, at least we got Applewhite back. Really by that time, after the draft, even if the FA market is thin, I don't think we'll have too many needs as a team.

I don't think any "quality" free agents are gonna wait all the way until June to be paid.

if your best offer is from a team that needs to wait a bit until they have the cap space I don't see why you wouldn't take that. the base salary doesn't get paid out until the regular season starts anyway and that's the biggest chunk of a contract normally.

some of the most sought out players in the entire free agent market signed with the Bucs knowing they'd have to wait to see any money at all

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
