What I Think Will Happen

This offseason is a critical offseason for us. We can either build on our momentum or continue to be an inconsistent franchise. After taking a few weeks to get over the loss to the Ninersi started to think about this offseason. This is what I expect or at least think will happen.

The Panthers start off by franchising Hardy and eventually signing him after they lock up Cam.

I think Cam gets a contract that will make him our franchise QB for the majority of his career.

I believe Jordan Gross signs a 2 year deal that is team friendly.

I expect the Panthers to work out deals with Mike Mitchell, Captain Munnerlyn, and Ted Ginn.

I expect the Panthers to cut loose Charles Godfrey and Dwan Edwards, as well as take a long look at Chase Blackburn.

I truly believe Hakeem Nicks takes a team friendly prove it short term contract with his hometown team.

Finally I expect and really believe DeAngelo Williams will be a July 1 cut

I agree with all of this; although the Godfrey situation will be interesting. I think he can be a solid player.

 

Getting Hicks is the huge X factor for the offense this off-season. Him signing changes the entire dynamic of what happens in the draft.

 

With Hicks: Get a shut down corner, O-line, and WR in first 3 rounds.

 

Without Hicks: Drafting a WR with the first pick.

I don't think we can tag Hardy after we sign Cam since they would both have to fit under the cap at the time the contract and tender are signed.  Until we signed Hardy long term we would be cap strapped to sign anyone else which hamstrings us like we were with Peppers a few years back.  If we can't reach a long term deal with Hardy we will cut him lose or if we tag him we will have to know we can sign him long term or trade him.  We won't carry a 12 million cost and will be thinking long-term not a 1 year deal.  If we sign Cam in the meantime we will have to make sure his 2014 cap hit won't be more than the 7 million he will cost in 2014 already.

I agree we cut Godfrey and perhaps Edwards and  likely sign Munnerlyn, Florence and Ginn,

I also think we extend Olsen to reduce his cap hit.

I think it too early to say we sign Nicks until we see who else is available and what he wants.

 

And I really doubt that Williams is a June 1st cut.  If we cut Williams as a June 1st cut, he will cost 4.8 million for the next 2 years in dead cap space.  If we keep him in 2014 his cap hit is 6 million.  You don't get rid of him for a measly 1.2 million.

This would be a beautiful offseason, except I'm not sure we cut DeAngelo.  That's still a lot of dead money to carry into next year.  On a personal level, I'd hate to cut him because I really like him.  At the same time, he costs too much, and he's over the RB hill in terms of age.  He's not been terrible when looking at the big picture, but not playing up to his contract.

Why cut DeAngelo and hang on to Stewart? Given the recent history it seems Stew is the least dependable.

I'd be happy if it went down that way overall though.

 

I think we save a couple million with a June 1st cut.  Still some dead money but frees up cap space.

 

I think this was failry well thought out and might prove to be very close to accurate.  Personally I dont think we sign Nicks if we keep Hardy but hope I am wrong.

I really hope we can keep DWill. He is a good back and when you think about how Stewart never sees the field, it is good to have him around. People speak about his age a lot but for the bulk of his career he has split carries so maybe he has a few more good years in him, if not more. I hope something can be worked out with him. I believe we will franchise Hardy, we can't let him walk. A dominant Dline can work wonders for your secondary. Nicks I am unsure of. I guess we will see what happens

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
