You said we had to restructure because we were in cap hell. That’s not true. We’ve thrown a lot of FA money at guys the past two years and rolled over money too. Short was another example of a restructure gone wrong. Unnecessary and will end up costing us way too much in a rebuilding year. Marty’s not good with the cap, simple as that.

Also, I’d rather have Luke, but our cap actually goes up without him by $3.7M

Cap Hell isn't just cap space.  Its Cap Space + Your holes you need to fill.

60 mil tor a team lacking a starting QB on the roster, in addition to all the holes we have is not a lot of money at all.  Its rather a tight fit.

Didn’t Cam just say he was going to be playing here? I don’t think there’s anymore “if”

Players always say that, it isn't their decision to make.

I don't worry about Cap as much as others, but correct me if I am wrong:  We had an escape clause in Kalil's contract after 2 years---then he was extended my MH, making the rest practically guaranteed.  That alone should get Marty fired, if I am correct.

No it was an option bonus that if not taken meant his cap hit for that coming season went up 11m and it was still fully guaranteed. only thing using the option did was spread it out.  Hurney converted it from an option bonus to a regular bonus because it would be easier to get money back for injuries/retirement

I dont think its his decision to make.

Hes literally said he had talked to Rhule, Hurney, and Tepper and hes excited to play as a panther next year. I think they enough for me to say hes gonna be here.

If he is here we're just delaying the inevitable

That number is correct however it may not be depending on what they want to do with some of the dead cap space.  You could spread Luke's dead cap number over 2 years which means he only cost 4 million this year and 7 million in 2021.  Poe is in a option year, which has a 13 million cap hit.  It is a team not a player option so if they don't pick it up, and why would they, that is another 10 million for 2020.  So without cutting anyone and just rearranging some money that number could be 53 million in cap room.

We can't spread that cap hit because we are in the final year of the CBA.
