Panthers Rank 28th in Free Agency Spending

28. Carolina Panthers

Guaranteed money spent: $3.7 million

Only four teams have spent less in guaranteed money in free agency than the Panthers have. This is no surprise. General manager Dave Gettleman has a reputation for being a bargain shopper in free agency, even when he has money in the bank. He'd prefer spending that money on locking up core players he has drafted. His biggest and best move in free agency was the release and then re-signing of defensive end Charles Johnson, who went from counting $15 million against the 2016 cap before his release to $2,562,500. None of his one-year, $3 million deal is guaranteed. -- David Newton

Saints, Bucs, and Falcons come in at 15 ($19.9), 7 ($50), and 6 ($53.3), respectively.

True.

And if you know what you are doing, you don't leave the mixer with the first, uninvited GDI girl that throws up.

Prime sorority girls are ripe for the picking about an hour before the party winds down.

 

Being a jock back then you wouldn't know nuthin' 'bout dat.  You prolly had your pick.  Us mortals depend on timing.  :)

Dave is just getting started in free agency. Panthers.com has an article that mentions all the coaches will be on vacation starting Thursday. Dave says it's just going to be him in his office for the next 10 days.

I think that him in his "happy place" has more to do with the draft than free agency. I do believe that he is never averse to signing a good value though.

And the point is..............?

I guess I guess the point is that we have a great majority of our team returning and a ton of cap space to sign roll player free agents or extend current players. We have yet to make significant moves in FA yet our team is pretty set w a ton of money to spend.

As much as I hate the song, I gotta quote it-

"If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for counting
When the dealin's done"

 

As us Panther fans (should) know, Gman learned how to play the game right.

    • It will be interesting to see who is still available at #4.  There could be a player someone drastically needs and will be willing to give up a nice haul to get him.  Getting an extra round one pick in 2026 would be nice. 
    • First of all, I think we should fix as many areas as possible other than QB going into 2025.  Young has played well the 2nd half of the season and needs more evaluation.   I think DL should be our focus whether it is Graham or Carter with our 1st pick. I wouldn't be sad if we used our 2nd round pick on another D-Lineman.  It will be much easier to get a WR on a one- or two-year free agent contract than to pick a WR that could be JAG.  This also gives XL and Coker another year to develop.  Our free agent picks in 2024 for the D-Line were, IMO, designed to complement Brown.  Once Brown went out those players were mediocre.  We need to have insurance in case Brown comes back and doesn't perform to his pre-injury play.  Sadly, I think we should move on from Evero.  He doesn't seem to have the heart for this team.
