$1M less than projected in Panthers cap space

The NFLPA just released the final adjusted cap figures and the Panthers came in at just under $158M which is $1M less than the projected $159M than the cap websites had. The column showing adjustments from 2015 is where this is shown and the Panthers had a negative adjustment of $1,008,059 from 2015.

The reason for this is something called "not likely to be earned" incentives(NLTBE) that players on the team hit in their contracts last year for either winning, stats or making the pro bowl. Any incentive that did not occur in the prior year is considered to be NLTBE for the purposes of the salary cap and is not counted on the salary cap.. If the players then hit the incentive it is then taken off the following years cap. After a relatively poor year in 2014 and not many pro bowlers, it is expected that we would have a number of NLTBE incentives that hit after going 15-1, making the Super Bowl and having a record number of pro bowlers.

"Likely to be earned" incentives(LTBE) function in the opposite manner. They are counted on the current year's cap and if they don't hit, they are then credited to the following years cap.

For example, if Cam had an incentive for making the pro bowl in 2015 then it would be considered NLTBE because he didn't make the pro bowl in 2014 and would not be counted on the 2015 cap. If he has one in 2016 then it is considered to be LTBE because he made the pro bowl in 2015 and would be counted on the 2016 cap.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
