NFL Salary Cap Increase

"increase of $8M - $10M" - That should cover Norwell's extension

We are one dominate OT away from being a totally different team on offense. I agree sign the fug out of him.

And while your at it draft an OT in the 2nd or 3rd round to groom to replace Remmers. I don't think there are any OT talent that's worth a high first round pick this draft.

This discussion comes aroumd every year and the net result is that contracts generally inflate in accordance, especially FA contracts chasing shallow pools of players (Anthony Collins, Torrey Smith at 8MM a year, etc.). That said, it could be advantageous for Carolina since they could front-load contracts for their own talent and avoid some cap trouble down the road.

JPP. Thanks

When everyone we need to sign is inked up on favorable contracts going forward, and we still have a ton of cap space to make some key FA acquisitions for the first time, maybe Gettleman will finally get credit for the hole he dug us out of.

OT, WR, TE2, FB, RB2

We are not 1 position away from either side of the ball.

* We are one dominate OT and one good OC away from being a totally different team on offense. Fixed you can thank me later.

That doesn't even cover the increased cap hit of Kuechly and Olsen

Sign Norwell, Sign Short, Sign Star

49ers will cut Joe Staley won't they ? Sign him

Norwell will be tendered. Short will be allowed to walk. Star is already sealed on an 8M option year for 2017. Staley's agent will use Gettleman for leverage to get a better contract with another team.

We have been a dominant franchise OT away from a consistent offense since Gross left. Gettleman is not looking for a franchise LT. He likes projects at OT. Gettleman does not groom players. He lets key players go and throws inexperience to the wolves.

The Panthers also need another sure handed receiver for 3rd down. That has been a major void this year.

You fail to realize Gettleman has had money to spend in 2014, 2015, and 2016. He does not spend money. He saves it to possibly sign current players at a discount price. The players want top dollar and Gettleman refuses to pay them. So, Gettleman does not spend the money, let's the key players walk, and saves it for the next off season to repeat the process.

Gettleman will not pay for an impact players. He will use it to over pay mediocre talent. I could see him going on a spending spree by loading up on 10 Soliai type players for 3 to 4M per season.

Damn you suck, @CPantherKing

[BIGH2001]

Gettleman has proven time and time again that he is cheap. Even in the winning seasons he hasnt spent any money. Why does everyone think he will go crazy this offseason?

Olsen, Kalil, Cam, Luke, these are "impact" players that Gettleman has signed.

Oh but let's keep on the narrative that "Gettleman sucks because he didn't spend a lot of money."

Gee, wonder why. Can't be the fact we barely had any cap to begin with.

Because he actually has money now he could spend, unlike the prior years reeking with Hurney contracts?

The "salary cap" is a loser's excuse.
