Every year people freak out about the cap and every year the Panthers spend.  Caps a myth and can manipulated to get what you want

When you manipulate the cap you end up with a 31 year old right tackle costing 30 million

Cap concerns are real. Ask any number of teams, including the current Saints. I mean, have we all forgotten how badly Hurney 1.0 left us cap strapped??

I tend to agree with you about the cap. But in fairness every year the Panthers are also trash. Sucks but that's the truth.

Think this has more to do with drafting and coaching.  Hopefully we are moving in the right direction.  At this time no one knows, and if they claim to they are full of poo

Drafting yes absolutely. Last year was a lack of talent on the coaching end more than anything IMO. You don't give up the most defensive points in history without having left the cupboards bare. Winning free agency is one thing. The 2025 draft class is going to be one of the most consequential in franchise history for us.

You can explain why it’s the end of the world. Moton is a core player who is still a top 10 RT in the league. We can extend and lower his cap hit if we want, and if he or the team doesn’t want to do that then we are paying a lot of money to a guy who is instrumental to our offense for one more year. The cap hit is not great, but at least he will play and play very well. Our problems have been dead cap.

We finally have one of the better OLs in the league. I'm not going to worry too much about how we pay for it.

#Seahawks have been firmly in the mix for Cooper Kupp as teams await his free agency plans, sources told @BradyHenderson and me. Seattle has attempted to sell Kupp on a vision for his next NFL chapter, and Kupp has been in touch with members of the organization.

Free agent defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. has agreed to a contract with the Dallas Cowboys, a source confirmed to ESPN.

 

It marks a return to Dallas for Fowler, who played for the team in 2022 and '23 before signing with the division-rival Washington Commanders last year. Fowler will help to replace defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who left Dallas to sign with the Seattle Seahawks this week.
