So now how about the remaining Cap?

[Salisburysean98]

Any Cap wizards want to calculate approximately how much cap we have now that we've signed Matt Kalil to a long term deal?

[London Loves Luke]

We won't know until we know the actual breakdown and signing bonus on kalil's contract

[Daddy_Uncle]

We definitely go after more oline help and safety help. Probably a receiver if we can get a good deal. I don't expect anything else for a few days. Let everything shake out and go after the leftovers

[Zaximus]

At this point, I'm saying Cruz/Munnerlyn/Peppers left to sign, but who knows.

I'd be ecstatic if we got those three. Did Swearinger get scooped up yet?

Don't think so.

I think Cruz and Munnerlyn are strong possibilities.   Peppers idk.

Probably around $20 million, not counting the 8 or so we'll set aside for rookies. I doubt Kalil costs more than 6-7 million on the cap this year, and it would be better if it was only 5.

No Swearinger hasn't been scooped up, but the Bears are sniffing...

[Bronn]

The Panthers might be obliged to draft a 2nd or third day safety if we don't take one at 8 or push too hard for one of the better FAs.

I want Swearinger, though. But this draft is stacked at DB more than anything else.

Maybe they read my offseason primer thread and we're going to take Donald Payne in rd 7 or UDRFA

[Zaximus]

Wish we'd figure out what's up with Oher soon.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

We really need to pick up a safety before the draft, at least for the depth.

not really. then we'd still owe him $20M at least, and if he's absolutely horrible after his first year and we decide to part ways in year 2, that's a $20M cap hit next year.

Nah. If his guaranteed portion is covered in the first three years, the last two go away if we part ways. We're on the hook for at least 3 years. Give it time, we aren't going to cut a guy we just signed to a 5 year deal @ 11M a year after one season. Not happening.

[E CaT PanTHer 2]

unless they structured it 5, 5, 5, 10, 30, then you can cut him after year 4, but i doubt Kalil would have signed such a contract lol 

[Bronn]

Worst case scenario he locks down RT for 3 years. He'll make us forget Remmers.
