Panthers lead list of teams on the hook with new projected salary floor

[Ivan The Awesome]

So we sign core players, extend other players and sign 2-3 FA? Is that the gist of it?

Get the fug outta here!!!!!! Is it possible to get a permanent ban on this guy?

He's being sarcastic, I've seen him on falcons boards trolling and talking poo about Matt Ryan

From everything I have read, if we try and sign just the top 4 players in our core group, we will be paying well over 50 million in cash in signing bonuses this year. By the time everyone we want is signed we will be lucky to spend less than 75 million. I don't know what that says about Richardson's spending habits in the future or the past. Simply, that he has to spend this year to sign his players and win back the fanbase and show he is committed to winning a championship. He is going to have to spend big whether he decides to keep our top players. or bring in other ones who are free agents to replace them. Either way, failure to do that will have negative effects on the team. Who will want to come here except for the money unless they think we are building a contender and they can be on the ground floor. Anyone think that who we resign or don't sign will have an influence on whether Steve Smith rolls the dice this year with the Panthers or wants to go elsewhere.

Signing the core will have a positve ripple effect with the whole team. So will signing a veteran QB and a DT in free agency, Finding a corner or developing one. Demonstrating that there is a committment to getting better now not years from now. I can't see where Jerry could possibly be cheap this year even if he wanted to be. The harder part will be finding all the money to make all of this happen.

I am completely serious. We need a gamebreaker, you need a guy who can hold your franchise together. Perfect Trade.
