17% of our cap space this season

[DJ feed me moore]

is going to Robbie Anderson, DJ Moore, and CMC. Discuss. Would love to hear from "cap wizzard" Sulieman or whoever. These contracts can not be continued to be handed out. Hopefully this is the last year of having to deal with awful deals like these.

We're going from Matt Rhule to an actual competent staff

To be fair D.J. Moore's contract was a steal for his production.

Not bad considering this will be a growing year with the year after set to be great for us CAP-wise. Unloading DJ will only clear up even more space for 2025 which will give us more money to fill whatever holes are there and continue to build around our new QB1 while he’s still on a rookie wage scale.

Honestly, it's fine.  Yes, we have the second highest dead cap in the league this year . . . and zero dead cap in 2024.  Oh, and 109 million in free cap.  Yes, that will adjust with contracts from this year, but 2024 is looking fine.

This isn't going to be "the year".  Rookie QB, new staff.  A great season for us is anything close to .500 football.  2024 should be the year we look to see a playoff contender in BoA.

And look at what our offense did with all of those guys. I’d give them all up 10x out of 10 for a franchise QB. I trust Frank and this staff to make the right call on the franchise QB of our team

needs to be near .500 another disaster season with no first round pick would be dire. Lets hope they make the right choice.

Does trading DJ help the cap after next season?

And we have a chance to get our franchise QB and have a clean cap (with an incredible amount of space of the next few years) by doing this.

Would you rather be the Saints running it back with their ancient squad and Derek Carr, knowing your cap will be 25+% dead cap for at least the next 3-4 years?

Every team has dead cap.  The situation going into 2023 isn't great (although that number & % isn't that bad per league average), but long-term, this is the best situation we have been in a long, long time.

And look at the free agent WR's for 2024... absolutely loaded.

We finally have a clear vision and strategy for getting there.  Maybe it doesn't work out, but damn if it's no so, so much better than the Rhule nonsense

We were a ridiculous DJ penalty and braindead plays from Keith Taylor and CJ Henderson from being 6-0 in the division with everything that went wrong last year.

People need to chill.  Everybody thought losing CMC would doom our running game.  It didn't.

Yes, our receiving corp is not looking good so far.  But, it's early.

This is still a great, great day to be a Panthers fan
