Kalil's extention frees up $5.5 million

[Dpantherman]

By signing center Ryan Kalil, who previously was carrying the franchise tender, to a long-term contract the Carolina Panthers freed up $5.516 million in salary-cap space for this season.

Under the tender, Kalil was taking up $10.116 million in cap space. But the deal, which is a five-year extension on top of the tender year, drops Kalil’s cap figure to $4.6 million for this season. That puts the Panthers at about $8 million under the cap and could clear the way for them to make moves at cornerback and wide receiver, two positions where they still would like to improve.

When are first cuts? Will we gain any more cap space after we dump off some players? Who do you think we could be looking at?

CB seems like a necessity, yet, we haven't heard anything about it. We have, however heard of us looking at some notable WR's....Is it possible we sign a guy like Housh?

[rayzor]

we'll still need to make sure we've got some available for emergencies due to injury. still that space will help out. i don't think that any guys that are cut will be all that expensive, though.

[CLTPanther]

Isnt the first cuts after 3rd PS game?

[The Saltman]

yes

I think we gotta do something about DT first and foremost, WR second and CB third. I don't feel like our CB's are garbage, but we could use some quality depth.

DT is a mess though and none of these WR's looks like much.

The preseason cap is the total of your highest 51 cap figures on the roster, so unless anyone of those 51 get cut, your cap space won't change.

I just bought a couple of industrial strength rubber bands/ACL replacements for Kris Jenkins knees in case he wants to make a come back.

Jus' sayin' Kris....maybe think about it?

[Donald LaFell]

Yah know as long as we weren't god awful I wouldn't be objected to just filling in some bonus mone with that space to free uo more cap room next year.
