Well we've seen the option for Wright not picked up and Poe's team option being declined has been reported, so that queues the question, just who do we still have on the roster -- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/cap/ 

(Declining Poe's option would see our available cap space around 44M with just 4.3M dedicated to the rookie class -- so 40M to spend, there is also another 3M available for releasing Mike Davis this is likely to happen, so that would elevate us to 43M, even with the dead money being held against us, that is a respectable amount to work with)

Offense 

QB-

Cam Newton (Age 30) / Will Grier (Age 25)

HB-

CMC / Mike Davis (saves 3M) / Jordan Scarlett

FB-

Armah

WR-

Moore / Samuel / Zylstra

TE-

Thomas / Manhertz

T-

Little / Daley / Moton

G-

Turner

C-

Paradis / Larsen

--------------------------------------------------------

Defense

IDL-

Hamilton

DE-

Short / Obada

Edge-

Burns / Miller / Haynes

ILB-

Thompson / Carter Jr. / Smith / Kunaszyk

CB-

Jackson / Elder / Luke

S-

Reid / Jones / Green / Jamerson

I cannot wait for free agency to start, and not because of a ''splashy signing'' I'm truly interested to see what spots we fill, which should subsequently give us an early idea of what we're looking at via the draft. 

With the combine out of the way, team private visits. and Pro days will be next alongside free agency. 

Gents things are starting to get a little interesting, and with that how do you feel knowing we have 40+M to work with in free agency?

If we bring in a DT or ILB via FA at a moderate price I think that will signal the pick at #7, I know a lot of eyes are now on Simmons, question is does he survive the top 5?

I think FA will go like this:

Our "splash" signing will be on the DL. We'll sign a few DEs and at least one DT. We'll also draft a couple DL.

At CB, we'll sign at least two FAs. Maybe Norman will come back for cheap?

We'll sign at least one mid-tier Tackle, and two higher/mid-tier Guards. We'll also draft a couple OL.

Robby Anderson might be an option, but I would lean more towards NOT right now.

A couple of specific guys I have my own eyes on are Tavon Austin (returner/slot/RB gimmicks/WVU blind loyalty) and Tajae Sharpe.

Vance McDonald and Luke Willson wouldn't be bad vet TEs to bring in.

I wouldn't mind bringing Mayo back in at LB.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
