For those concerned with the Panther's cap...

[CatMan72]

People who worry about the cap seem silly to me. The salary cap is an imaginary boundary that is easy to manipulate. The cap isn't what's keeping us from signing Super Mario, our philosophy is. Build through the draft, plug holes with mid level FAs. Our D only needed to be adequate last year and we probably would have made the playoffs. Adequate D can be filled by adequate signings.

In short, the sky is not falling and Hurney isn't the sweet tea drinking bumbling idiot you all make him out to be. There's a reason he's running the team we all love and cherish, and we're working our asses off to make less money that we spend on his team anyways...

...and Hurney was originally brought in as a cap expert. You can say want you want about Hurney, but he's good with numbers.

Hurney is good with numbers, he just sucks at drafting

the issue is who he allocates those numbers to

That wont give them enough to sign free agents, just enough to sign their draft picks.

Yes, I was just showing how easily it can be done-did not mean to suggest that is all we need to do.

Wait, are we over or under? NFL.com says under (http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/13/salary-cap-numbers-for-all-32-nfl-teams/) by 1.3 million, espn says over by 6 mill

And there are many cases when he is directed to do that.

I firmly believe Davis restructured last night.

Very confused right now.

What DP is telling all of us is that we'll be signing Mario Williams at 4pm. :lol:

[Dpantherman]

exactly

Very confused right now.

There's nothing to be confused about. Solution: don't worry about the cap

[Proudiddy]

I do wonder if they're going to restructure TD's deal, or if they already have and it hasn't been reported.

I'd like to see what kind of bargain shopping we do with about 5-10 mil cap space.

I was just wondering how some places say were under (nfl.com) and another (espn) says we're over. That's why I'm confused.

[Dpantherman]

Probably done 'on paper' and just not official.
