You just raised the cap by 14 million and you want me to take a paycut even though we have enough to sign everyone here?  That might be a hard sale.

He'll end up making less money by being cut.

At least from us.

Considering he's been playing like he's all used up, the ideal situation would be to cut him for cap relief and then to see the Falcan'ts sign him for $10+ million.  :P

I agree that more cap for the league overall will average out what we can actually do with the money.  But the fact that we get this much room with new contracts coming up, helps us to be in on the low-end of that average.  That's what will help this team the most.  We can leverage the new cap space more effectively if we can get some contracts out of the way and dead money off of the books at the outset.

There's rather major argument against the theory that it "all evens out".

Basically, some guys know what they're doing. Some guys don't.

Some GM's will blow huge stacks of cash within the first 24 hours of free agency. These same guys will likely be back to do the same thing next year and everybody associated will sit and wonder why their teams aren't winning.

Others will shop smart and spend wisely.

And that makes all the difference.

    • What are the matchups, stats and superlatives?   I think this will be a hard game. Bucs are a very balanced team on offense:  7th  in total yards per game, 7th in passing, 10th in rushing. Baker is having another career year even better than last year but despite missing his Godwin and Evans. Bucs defense is poor (29th) particularly passing defense, but we’re also depleted in our receiving with Coker and Sanders likely out. Running Chuba is key but their defense is better against the run. (16th) I think this is likely going to require us to score a lot of points to keep up and hopefully the home field advantage tips the scale in our favor. My other concern is our run defense and being able to stop their rookie study Bucky Irving who the Bucs have shifted more carries to recently and he’s averaging 5.4 ypc and knows how to get into the endzone with 5 TDs so far.         
    • This is nonsense and you know it. People will be happy when we are consistently and convincingly winning games against good teams. There are people in here talking down to others after losses and barely beating the terrible NY Giants. If you want to strut around here like only you are a real Panthers fan and rage pooing posts because your jimmies are rustled then hey good luck with all that. I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
    • Who had the massive meltdown last year? Hope they feel better this year.
