The Carolina Panthers used the [June 1st designation] rule to release linebacker James Anderson. They'll receive $2.9 million in savings and will have $10 million in total cap space.

Nothing really to read, just good news considering we have $9M in dead money in 2014 that we need to consider (not to mention contracts with Hardy, Cam and LaFell that will have to be taken care of)

I'm trying to remember the last time we had 10 million in cap space going into the summer with all draft picks and important free agents under contract.

Let's just say that it has been awhile.

That 10 million won't last for long though, especially with our impending free agents next season.

If people are griping about Gettleman now they are really going to be pissed next season.

Hadn't really thought about LaFell's contract coming up. He's got 118 catches, 1758 receiving yards yards, 8 TDs, 2 Fumbles, and 4 rushes for 95 yards over 3 seasons. That'd be pretty good for a slot, but 600 yards per year just isn't enough production for a #2.

 

Yeah, you could argue Olsen was our true #2 the last couple years, but still I wonder if it'll be worth it to sign Lafell to a bigger non-rookie scale contract. He's a great possession receiver, and always makes tough catches, but isn't terribly fast. He actually reminds me of Anquan Boldin in that way. Part of me thinks though that with Cam, we could get 600 yards and 3 TDS out of any mid-level FA  WR, ie Ginn or Hixon. Or even a rookie.

 

This probably deserves a thread of its own. Definitely interesting to think about though, whether LaFell gets any of this cap space.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
