Salary Cap Situation

[Kurb]

It's pretty depressing to see where Falcons are at the cap, and where we are. Smh.

\

Falcons have some MAJOR pieces to try and keep and all signs are that they could lose the better one.

You all do realize we will spend little to no money in FA this year. Esp if ticket prices aren't going up. Hurney already said we're building through draft this year. Someone would have to come at a really good price or really want to be a Panther.

The Falcons have major OL/DL depth issues that they now aren't going to be able to address as readily/cheaply thanks to the trade for Julio Jones. They only have five picks and no first or fourth.

It also doesn't help that they're looking at Abraham, Lofton, Biermann, DeCoud, Grimes, McClure, and their 2010 Pro Bowl/All Pro returner Eric Weems as possible UFAs going into 2012 as well. That cap figure is either going to be way different or their team is going to be way pootier entering next season.

Love the "hurney sucks" stuff.

There is zero base for it.

He is very good at working the #ks to get the guys he wants.

I'm glad he spends the available money.

I'd be pissed if he didn't spend the money to bring as players to help the team. Ya can't have a team with all high paid all stars.

Many have be budget players.

There shouldn't be a lot of space left over every year.

:lol:

I rest my case.

Maybe we can the 50% off sale at the store will help us sign Mario Williams tho.

I read a article saying if we cut TD, we will save 8 mil for cap money for 2012.

Thomas Davis, Panthers. We’re purely making educated guesses on Vilma, Smith, Abraham and the final guy on the list. But Davis’ departure from Carolina is more than an educated guess. Sadly, it’s a foregone conclusion.

The Panthers took a shot on Davis last summer when they signed him to a big contract extension after he had come back from two torn ACLs. Then, he went out and suffered the same injury for the third time early last season. That’s why the Panthers basically included an “out clause’’ when they gave Davis the new contract.

His deal calls for an $8 million option bonus on the second day of the league year. That’s not going to happen. The Panthers will release Davis because it’s the only move that makes economic sense. But he is well-liked by ownership, the front office and coaches, so it’s not impossible to see Davis ending up back with the Panthers at a much lower salary if he can’t land a nice deal somewhere else.

Didn't they write this contract up to protect us. Yes he got the big signing bonus but I'm pretty sure they won't cut him. They will restructure his deal to a minimum salary and I'm sure he wouldnt mind bc

He won't mind proving himself. Anyways I just hope we have enough money to sign a mid tier player who can make a difference. My dream come true would be FS griffin from The titans.

News of cuts from teams are beginning to trickle in....it's going to get real interesting in the next few weeks.

dumbass motherfvcking comment below

"We're only a couple years removed from the organization being put in a stranglehold by Julius Peppers for 2 years"

GotDAMN that's just plain ol' ******* stoopid!!

This forum gets worse and worse and worse.

Pep finished his contract, told everyone he would not play if they tagged him, the dumbasses tagged him anyway instead of tagging Gross and Jake Delhomme skipped out of town with a 12 million dollar check.

Hurney is NOT a master of the payroll by any stretch. And as far as cutting the "dead weight" (otah, Edwards, Jimmy the pick, etc). ANybody who has been around for more than since Newton was drafted will tell you that we don't lose interest in players until AFTER we have developed them. See Witherspoon and Muhammad.
