Future Cap Space? Keeping our Core

[BigEric]

Am I the only one who'd rather keep Hardy than Johnson? I think Hardy signs for a lot cheaper than Johnsons ridiculous contract. I don't know the variables of cutting Johnson but I dunno, Hardys younger, bigger, more flamboyant.

The cap will work itself out. Firing Hurney's ass was a huge step in protecting our future cap space.

That's Geoffrey's smiths and gross' replacements we have to draft next year

Depending on how you look at it. According to the huddle smith will play forever

I mean who wouldn't love that lol but we still have a far way to go to being a complete team yet I do think we have the talent to make a run and win right now

150 mil for Cam...HAH. Hope that's the case bc it means he has a ring.

No. I've been saying it for awhile, we WILL cut C.J soon enough. He won't play for less and we won't pay him the final years of his contract. It only makes sense to resign hardy.

150? We better be back to back champs.

It's a scary thought but I'm glad Gettleman is the one dealing with this. He handled Dwan and Captain very well. That is a small sample size if what we can expect when the time comes.

i agree with what someone else said cam and keek are the only 2 we absolutely can't lose.  but i'd be sick if we lost Hardy.  He is so passionate and is arguably the meanest player on defense.  It's hard to find guys with attitudes like he has.  I hope we can resign him but we can't overpay

The way the CBA is set up, We no longer have to offer outrageous contracts like CJ got. Gettlemen will offer a fair value contract. It will be up to Hardy to make it work.

 

Folks are right in the fact that Gettlemen will not overpay. He will offer fair deals that should work for both sides. If he can stay on this course, you really can keep more of your stars. You only lose out on talent if you over pay. We no longer will be doing so.

I don't see what the CBA had anything to do with CJ's contract.

and this is why this fan base is a joke.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are an actual reperesentation of " this fan base " it is indeed a cruel joke.

If we don't make the playoffs, not sure if he would WANT to stick around, remember, he has said he's fine with playing for us if we're WINNING. The lack of commitment to putting REAL weapons and protection around him may also play a factor.

In theory, it shouldn't. In practice, it did. Hurney/JR knew their rookies just got cheap. So they could afford to overpay their home grown talent. Win-win for the Panthers. They don't look cheap, and they keep there core.

 

In theory, it is supposed to provide more money for the vets. But, in practice, teams are still trying to save money by investing in draft picks, and lower level FA. The elite players still get theirs, but the days of overpaying has hurt the vets the most.
