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?

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.

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

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.

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. 

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.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
