Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way.

For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons:

2021: $53.9M

2022: $52.4M

2023: $62.1M

2024: $69.3M

2025: $1.9M

All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games...

Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise.

The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history.

Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money:

Von Bell: $9.9M

Hayden Hurst: $9.8M

Donte Jackson: $9.7M

Diontae Johnson: $9.4M

Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M

Justin Houston: $3.8M

DJ Chark: $3.1M

Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players.

That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era.

Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss...

One can hope... Keep Pounding!!

Great breakdown of the dead money although Diontae Johnson was signed by Morgan. But you’re right - tremendous job by Tillis and hope this is a sign that Tepper is backing away and letting the experts stir the ship.

Certainly trending in the right direction, cautiously optimistic for this off-season 

9 draft picks, cap to spend, great rookies draft class, and developing 2nd year QB.

Exponentially better looking situation vs last year or even earlier this season.

Thankful we seem to be trending in the right direction

What's our cap situation looking like going forward? It would be nice to use it all on players wearing our jerseys for once 

 

wonderful.

 

Just 33 mill next year, but the year after that, we have the fifth most space in the league, 148 million dollars with our OL paid for.  We can sign who ever we want.  We gonna compete next year, certainly for the South title

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      "Duh...pick one" so let me get this straight...worst rookie season arguably of all time, only 2 wins out of 16 starts and abysmal stat lines. We spent all draft picks, FA money, let good players walk, fired an entire coaching staff after one season, and still had to bench this kid after 2 games this season just to get a 5 game SAMPLE SIZE of what he COULD BE in the future after almost 2 seasons in the league AND YOU WANT CROW NOW?.....I would say kick rocks but that may be way to harsh so imma just say relax and keep watching his progression. I totally understand a lot of yall been waiting to blow off steam all this  time because Bryce wasnt backing up the hype you put on him and you had the hear the criticism for almost 2 years but from a morale ground standpoint this doesn't look good parading now. Most of us sat and watched him be a disappointment an entire season plus 2 more games eitj improvements  around him and had no idea if the guy even belonged on the field including the coaches.... so 5 games isn't gonna make me change my tune that fast. You would think you would understand that but we all know how emotion works in sports. Thats on you to figure that out tho. My opinion still stands for now. Hope that helps you out.

      Im really sorry to hear that bro.   Has to be a tough time for you and your family.  Dont forget to eat and sleep.  I know seems dumb but we neglect ourselves when we mourn which often just makes it worse.  Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

      PFF Weeks 9-13 top passing grades

      Progress is good. Unfortunately 1 month of QB play isn't enough to form a true picture. Roughly right around a year ago the flavor of the month was Tommy DeVito. A few years before that Jets QB Mike White made a name for himself. Need at least 8-10 games of consistency to form a true conclusion. Even then nothing is guaranteed.
