All salary cap, free agent info, etc can be found here: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/2017/

CURRENT ESTIMATED CAP SPACE: 62.7 Millon minus 7.7 Million rookie pool = 55 Million after draft class is signed.

Pending Unrestricted Free Agents, age:

  1. Kawann Short (27)
  2. Charles Johnsn(30)
  3. Tedd Ginn Jr.(31)
  4. Mario Addison(29)
  5. A.J Klein(25)
  6. Colin Jones(29)
  7. Lenoard Johnson(26)
  8. Mike Remmers(27)
  9. Michael Griffin(31)
  10. Chris Scott(29)
  11. Kyle Love(30)
  12. Teddy Willams(28)
  13. Ben Jacobs(28)
  14. Ryan Wendell(30)
Restricted Free Agents

  1. Norwell
  2. Philly Brown
  3. Horton
  4. Whittaker
  5. Bersin
  6. Young
We have 16 players counting 2 million or more against the cap. In order

  1. Cam-       $20.1
  2. Luke-       $12.7
  3. Olsen       $10.3
  4. Kalil          $8.3
  5. Stewart    $8.25
  6. Davis       $8.25
  7. Lotulelei  $6.75
  8. Oher       $5.5
  9. Gano      $3.8
  10. Coleman $3.65
  11. Solalai    $3.5
  12. Lee        $3.5
  13. Dickson $2.7
  14. Benjamin $2.4
  15. Thompson $2.4
  16. Anderson  $2.2
Depending how much cap space we deem we need, some of these players could be asked to restructure or be cut outright to save more room/roster spaces.  Heres how much we could save by cutting each. Any dead cap hit could be spread over 2 years. 

Player,cap savings,dead cap

  1. Stewart, 4.75 million, leaving 3.5 in dead cap,
  2. Gano, 3.1 Million, leaving 750k in dead cap.
  3. Soliai, 2.5 Million,leaving 1 million in dead cap.
  4. Lee, 3.4 Million, leaving 0 in dead cap
  5. Dickson, 2 Million, leaving 600k in dead cap.
Numbers worth knowing 

2016 DT Franchise Tag, 13.6 Million. Don't have 2017's number yet but this should be close.

Charles Johnson's 2016 Cap hit, 2.6 Million. This should serve as a good reference point if he decides to come back.

Ted Ginn's last deal. 2 years 4.2 Million. Another good reference point if he is brought back.

36.7 Million. This would be our cap space if we resigned Johnson and Ginn to their previous deals, signed the rookie class and Franchised Short.  (This is before any cap savings moves are made via extensions, restructures or players being cut. 

2017 Draft Picks

We will have 8 total picks this year. We will retain our 1st-6th picks(barring trades), plus pick up a compensatory for Norman. We will get one of the Brown's 7th round choices and previously traded our own 7th this year to the Seahawks for Norwood.

2018 is the year we owe the Browns our 4th for Andy Lee.

 

 

 



We pay Gano's useless a** 3.8 mil?!? I'm sorry but that dude isn't worth half of that after his performance this year.

Awesome breakdown!!

Stew, Gano and CJ are gone IMO.

I think Gano should stay, honestly, but he missed some real dayum important ones this year. I just dont know if we can find a guy better.

KK will be the talk of the offseason... and, like Norman, the talk of next season too.

Thank god we are talking about it now and not after his probowl year.

We have our "pillars" locked already. It is time for a FA splash.

Im in the trade KB and sign Alshon camp.

KB just seems, for lack of better words, lazy and stupid.

The stats, tho, give him trade value.

We got their 7th this year and they got our 4th next year in the deal. I don't know if their 7th is the actual 1st pick in 7th or a different one.

Next year. We also got back a 7th rounder in this year's draft (replacing the one we traded for Kevin Norwood).

 

Great.. I was thinking it was this year and was going to suck having such a high pick in the round and giving it up.
