according to the Altius Directory of sports salaries the current salary liability for the 2011 Carolina Panthers is just $73 million. If these two numbers are accurate it would mean the Carolina Panthers would need to spend approximately $40 million to reach the cap floor. So, how would they do this?

$40 million is a ton of cap room. But expect most of that to go to re-signing our own players. The Panthers are either #1 or #2 in cap space. But only Beason, Williams, and maybe Kalil will command big possibly 8 figure contracts. We have plenty of space to keep those who we want to stay and that want to be here.

Those people that think that all of the sudden we are going to spend big money on free agents are probably going to be really disappointed. Our FO doesn't like to spend big on free agents because they believe that if those players were really that good they wouldn't be free agents.

Expect them to make some moves and fill some holes but I doubt all of the sudden we are going to go all Redskin's model and overpay for top tier free agents that aren't worth the price they will command.

In other words free agents are almost always overrated and/or overpriced.

This doesn't sound right. We're gonna be right at the neck of the cap after extending Beason.

OMG.... Really... Hey guys, apparently we'll be giving Beason 40 mil this year...

JT... Since you dont understand how contracts work, or how the salary cap works, let me break it down for you...

Allegedly we have to spend 40 mil this year... This will be on multiple players btw not just Beason... Out of that 40 mil... The only thing that counts is what we pay players for this year alone, to include signing bonuses...

For example if we gave Beason a 5 year deal worth 30 million... He would get a percentage of that 30 mil each of his 5 years of that deal... Ultimately that would break down to about 6 mil this year... Which would still leave the FO with roughly 34 million to spend on signing other free agents/draft picks...just this year alone... His 30 mil over 5 years doesn't count for just thus year...

Do u get it now?

I know that you fugging fugtard. Beason plus our core and Cam plus FA's is gonna take up at LEAST 30 million in cap.

You just stay busy making shitty threads.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
