Eric Berry expressed pessimism Sunday that he will be able to work out a long-term contract with the Chiefs ahead of Wednesday's franchise-tag deadline.
Berry is almost certainly going to be tagged, but he reiterated that he would rather sit out the season than spend another season on the one-year tender. "I still stand by that," he said. "I'm just being patient because you never know. I'm not getting my hopes up (for a long-term deal)."

We have the cap room, I'm confused by this.  

We also have about 15 free agents, and Eric Berry is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. 

A move that makes sense going hard for is Cyprien, whom PFF graded the same as Berry. He's a SS that will fill in our need, Berry really isn't.

I'm sorry, but the majority of those 15 free agents, besides KK are trash.  So, if he spends the majority of the cap solidifying our "phenomenal" 6-10 players.  We've got more problems then I expected.

If we hope to sign KK and Star to long term deals that cap room quickly disappears especially if we have to tag KK. I would say that it is highly unlikely Berry comes to Carolina (although I would love it). It would limit our spend on other areas of need like OL and WR.

Star is only wanting between 7-8 million.  So, no.  That's completely wrong.

Well, we need depth, so of course those added $1-3 mil chunks will take off some of the cap. But still, we'll have enough to make a decent bid at FA.

Berry again is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. Cyprien makes more sense in the fact he fixes our SS; Berry is a FS.

Give Star $8MM and then tage KK for $14MM thats almost half of that cap right there. Berry is going to get PAID and Getts wont be the guy to do it. 

We've got 43 million in cap room, currently.  Tagging KK would be 14 mill, which would be 29 mill in Cap room.  Another 8 for Star would make 31 million in cap room.  Is that really half of our cap?

Cyprien will probably be overpaid by the Jags to stay.  So they can look at other things in the Draft.  Cyprien is young and will get massively overpaid by someone.

Its half of the cap. $43M - $14M equals $29M, not $39M. 

The cap room really does disappear when locking up these players. I'm not sure if the $43M is factoring Mario Addison's contract as well...

I would love to get Berry, but someone is going to pay him big bucks and i dont see it being the Panthers.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
