Please visit Sportrac.  They lay our all of the cap hits for the Panthers.

NFL Cap: 181.6

-Top 51: 158.9m

-Dead: 7.0m

-Draft Picks: 2.5

-Peppers: 5.0

-Poe: 4.0?

Remaining: 4.2m

Poe and Peppers will replace a couple of .5m guys at the bottom of the roster so we can add in another million or so. 

Unfortunately, guys put on IR also count against the cap.  This is in addition to the top 51. Basically when a guy goes on IR, his whole salary counts against the cap, plus the guy you had to sign to replace him.  Last year we had 16 guys on IR at the end of the year accounting for 8.9m in cap.

Without cutting or re-structuring, we are probably done.

PS - I don't think Joe Person is particularly bright.

Eric Reid

i would like to get Jeremy Maclin if he’s healthy or Jordan Matthews 

[grimesgoat]

oh well. 

Let's get Eric Reid on a 1-year prove it deal for the vet minimum.

Then we should grab Boston and Ebron on the special hometown discount vet minimum.

And of course Suh and Murray on the chasing a ring vet minimum.

Not that I doubt you, but according to overthecap we have 16 million and this includes pep & poe.

Salary cap is difficult. I doubt we are done in FA though, since we are still setting up visits and have two offers standing.

Includes Poe, but no Pep.  Knock off 5 million from the 16.

The only real difference between OTC and Sportrac is their treatment of TD.  OTC has him at 4.7m but sportrac has him at 7.7m.  Don't know who is right.

so after Pep (5m) and draft picks (2.5m) we're sitting between 5m to 9m for additions and as a cushion for injuries.

Smh.... We have a thread on the forum with a PFT article stating we have an offer out for Ebron.

Also, the Wright item was on twitter about two hours ago tweeted by a random. "Panthers about to sign a receiver." (something along those lines)

I'd link it but twitter is blocked on my work computer and I want you to go through the message boards like this rest of for the Ebron. Not sure why you are coming on so strong. So salty bro.

Makes sense. I think the only item I wanted to highlight is that we are still making offers, so Hurney must have some money to work with.

Yep - I think the only money he has to work with is cutting Sheppard and possibly doing something with R Kalil. 

If he goes into the season with no cushion, we will be in trouble if someone gets hurt and has to go on IR.

I've never really thought about being out of money mid-season. Just because you seem to know your stuff, what would be the plan for the following teams if this were the case? Left column being current cap space. Far right being dead money.

Giants	$5,225,150	$5,225,150	70	$168,726,466	$3,478,255
Steelers	$2,574,015	$2,574,015	61	$173,153,241	$5,141,595
Saints	$2,317,073	$2,317,073	74	$158,850,332	$14,065,970
Cowboys	$608,438	$608,438	57	$169,721,215	$14,811,112
