This will be dwills last season as a panther for sure, Stewart I'm not so sure, I think we lose alot of dead money cutting him next offseason, likely be 2016, but beasons dead money will be gone and I think we take smittys dead money hit this year I maybe wrong on that! The cap is expected to reach $140mil but with Cam and Luke looming we need all the space we can.

Are we going to be in the same situation next year? I hope we have a little more wiggle room. Can we cut Stew or Dwill and not be on the hook for as much?

YES!

 

There are a couple other threads that explain it pretty clearly.

 

PS..........we're stuck with Jstew for ever.

We have like $102 mil. committed to only like 32 players.  All depends on what it takes to fill out the 53 man roster.

What if DWill gets 2106?

Way too early to tell at this point.  For example most of the dead cap space this year was not on the books at this time last year so you can't predict what will happen next year at this point or what we will have in salaries.  For example Hardy isn't on the books for 2015 since we have him on a 1 year deal by tagging him.  If we sign him long term then things will change significantly.

 

I know folks worry about this kind of thing all the time but why a year ahead?  We have all the money we need to sign who we want despite what Gettleman says.  The cap is easily manipulated as shown by teams who always seem above it but still manage to sign who they want.

DWill will finish out the last year of his contract in 2015 with a cap hit of 6.3 with dead money of 6.6. No reason for Dave to cut him, add 300k more to the cap, and need to fill another roster spot.

 

The earliest you can think about moving on from Stew is in 2016 (3.3 savings if cut). He will be here in 2014 and 2015 and could just as easily stay to be cut in 2017 where his cap savings would be 6M

Lots more cuts next year. I would expect Johnson and Dwill to be cut and then we might be out of the hell Hurney put us in. In other words dont get use to winning, because its not going to happen. Hurney screwed us big time.

I'm looking for Olsen & C.J. to possibly be cut next offseason. Wouldn't surprise me if we drafted a DE in the first 3 rounds, not for Hardy insurance, but to replace Johnson.

 

If it's come down to this, why not just trade them this year?

CJ saves the team 11 million next year with 6 million dead cap. Olsen saves the team 5.6 million. Godfrey would save 4.1 million.

Remember though with 2015 numbers cam isn't on there. He would count for 13 million if he gets the option.

Dwill isn't really cutable till Stewart is in 2016.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
