Couldn't the Panthers just not use a large portion of that cap and roll it over to next year? That provides a ton of space before any cuts or restructures next offseason.

With no long term QB that we know of worth a damn under contract...this is a shame.

Get your QB...that's first, but if there isn't one, build like hell through the draft.  Solidify the defense, O Line, and get a couple weapons while keeping your cash on the side...some powder dry.

Then, once you have your QB, you have a well built team, a QB under contract long term, and a pile of cash to plug the holes to get ready to have a playoff team.

We do the opposite.

If you improve everything but the qb you'll be stuck at like the 7-8th pick everytime which lowers your chances of getting a franchise guy

There are so many unknowns for the 2023 "projection".  What will the new cap be?  How much will we carry over?  Who will get traded away (Robby, Shaq, CMC)?  Are we drafting a LT or QB?

Saints and Bucs are both projected in much worse shape than we are in 2023.  BTW aints aren't a contender and the Bucs are a contender if Brady plays in 2023. 

I'm not worrying about the 2023 cap in 2022.

 

btw, Weren't the Saint OVER the cap a month ago and now have the 2nd largest cap space?

How exactly?

Do all "franchise" QB's go in the top 5?

Does this take into account the rollover we would get if we don't spend anymore of the 30 mil that we have available?

If not, then we would be sitting at 27 million. 

There's something, because those numbers are all over the place.

After seeing how other successful franchises "kick the can down the road", I refuse to worry about this.

You're referring to the team whose head coach / top decision maker needs to save his job?

After watching the Saints and Falcons come in and try to get Deshaun, with the cap situation  they had.... I don't  care about cap anymore. Looks like we may have our own set of cap manipulators finally  too.

Carry over some, obvious restructures of Moton and DJ. Extensions for Burns and Shaq. 

Its not hard to free up a quick 40-50 million but there will certainly be more holes next year.

It’s in the link in his post, just change to 2023 and hit update and you see this hot mess. Somehow we are over the 2023 and we are so far from competing.

It's called a terrible FO with terrible decisions. It also says that Matt Rhule will be here next year as well. You don't allow a lame duck coach to mortgage the future like that. Tepper is fuging up at every point in football.

Which is terrible when you are not even at. 500. No way we don't trade CMC, Shaq, and Maybe Anderson next year just for cap relief.
