Panthers To Free Up $5.7 Million In Cap Space June 1St

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

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
