Should we sign anyone else or roll the cap space to next year?

Right now we have 41 players under contract for 2014.

Many of them are not guaranteed a roster spot even this year. Such as:

Michael Avila

Lamont Bryant

Nick Hixson

Nelson Rosario

Justin wells

James shaw

Tauren Poole

Nate chandler

Hayworth hicks

Russell Anderson

Colin Jones

Douglas Houge

Frank kearse

Mario Addison

Armond Smith

Sione Fua

Harkuki Nakumara

Keohloa Pilares

That's 18 right there.

Add in players like Beason, Williams and hangartner who's contracts will likely force them to be cut next year and that brings the total up to 21. ( granted they could restructure and stay).

If none of these players are on the opening day roster we would only have 25 players under contract in 14:

Cam Newton

Luke Kuechly

Star Lotulelei

Charles Johnson

Steve Smith

Jonathan Stewart

Ryan Kalil

Greg Olsen

Charles Godfrey

Thomas Davis

Mike Tolbert

Dwan Edwards

Amini Silatolu

Frank Alexander

Josh Thomas

Josh Norman

Joe Adams

D.J Campbell

Kawann Short

Edmund Kugbilla

A.J Klein

Kenjon Barner

Of course we will not cut everyone mentioned and we should have a draft class of 6 deep in in 14 as well to bring the total to 31 at minimum. Bottom line is we will have roughly 15-22 roster spots to fill for 2014.

For comparison we let 9 free agents walk this year and cut 3 others. We basically replaced those 12 with

7 free agents from other teams and our 5 draft picks.

I'm just wondering if we are better off carrying over any unused cap space from this year to provide us more flexibility in free agency next year.

Thoughts?

    • They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers
    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
