I've spent all offseason hearing we have 11-12 mil cap space and a Hardy tag would take 10-12 mil. Now we're at 28 mil? Can someone smarter than me explain what is going on? *mindblown*

Only person that can explain our situation is Gettleman and he doesn't have an account here....yet.

We're better off cap wise than last year but we also have a lot more free agents, the most in the NFL I believe. Some of those guys that we signed for the bare minimum last year, like Ginn and Mitchell, are going to want to get paid now and Hardy sure as hell isn't re-signing for 800K or whatever he was making. Don't be surprised if there's a lot of turnover, letting guys sign huge contracts elsewhere and bringing in different guys on more cap friendly deals.

my best guess is 18-22 million, but I dont know about incentives, roster bonuses, workout bonus, probowl bonus etc etc. there use to be roster tricks for special team stuff. example sign a OL and if he got 6 special team tackles= 100, 000 bonus. if not well that went to cap space, but i dont know if the new deal allows those tricks any more.... many others as well

 

 

beason and andserson are about 11 in dead moneyz, thats gone next year(beason maybe only 3 million next or none at all) thats a poo ton.

Right. Newton probably doesn't quite know what he's talking about, like non of us has any idea. Let Gettleman handle it, and just see what happens.

godfrey cut depends if hes pre june cut. if pre june 1st, hes around 5 million is saving(i believe), but 2+ million dead. if just cut, its 2 million saving, no idea the dead. pre-june allows the dead money to be spilt into two years, just cut you take take it all this year, but free next. james anderson was a pre-june cut, he was about 2.7 dead this year and another 3+ dead in 2014

 

 

godfrey was on radio and he seemed VERY sure he was going to be a 2014 panther, if not he is playing some where. if he willing to restructure....... well that can worded so many ways to save money and he'll play for 1.5 prove it deal. i have no idea whats going to happen, my guess is don dave tells godfrey you can either sign a team friendly deal or we have no other choice but to cut you ala pre-june 1st.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Martin · Posted

      He gets the blame because his role as the QB is to make plays, help the team score more points and elevate players around him. He does none of that. Just because he didn’t massively mess up doesn’t mean he wasn’t a reason for the loss. The bar some of you have for Bryce is incredibly low.

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.
