I think Marty Hurney swears agents to secrecy when he calls about a free agent. Always very tough to find out who Panthers are targeting.

Exactly what we have been saying for a while

Antonio Garay and Wesley Woodyard. Make it happen OLB and DT not needed in draft can concentrate on DE and CB.

We didn't save 7.4 million in fact right now the whole 7.4 still applies. After June 1 he will cost us 2 million in dead cap space so we will see a net decrease of 5.4 million in our cap as of June 2. This will allow us to sign some guys from other rosters during the cut process during camp or during the regular season.

I hope you just saw Cortland Finnegan's contract

I have. I still want him.:drool5:

How does the NFL Draft impact the Salary Cap?Answer: Team salary includes the Rookie Minimum Active Salary as of the day of the draft for all drafted rookies. The salary for drafted rookies will stay at this amount until the player is signed, the team’s rights are relinquished through waivers, or until the Tuesday following the tenth week of the regular season if the player remains unsigned. Note also that there is a Rookie Salary Cap, which is a subset of the overall cap. Each team has its own unique Rookie Salary Cap, based on the number of draft picks they have and where in each round the picks ocurred.

The 7.4 million was a combined number of the 5.8 that someone said we save from cutting Wharton and from 1.6 The cowboys/redsking re-allocation of cap room.

Whatever tho, im not engaging in internet battles no more

^ what about thomas davis? What's his situation?

edit: I love his heart but his knees not so much. I imagine we're going to free up some more cap room before too long.

Hopefully we can sign peyton manning and get rid of this joke we have at QB. God knows what we need is to be worse than we were last year.

Id be ok with Shockey gettin a piece of it...

[jramsey4]

Sign Jason Jones and everything else is gravy. We are in desperate need for pass rush and he has by far the best value (at UT).

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

make Grubbs sign a contract that pays him 3 mil a year

then get Jason Jones

and Carr

[Ruff]

Antonio Garay.

All in on jamarcus russell

It isn't a battle I was telling you the facts. All 7.7 million of his cap hit remains on the books until after June 1st. What we did save was Davis' anticipated cap hit of 5.8 million if we released him or the 13.8 million if he would had a great season last year and we paid him the 8 million option bonus(which wasn't going to happen when he went down). Now it is a very respectable 2.1 million cap hit which is 700,000 in salary and 1.4 million which is the prorated portion of his signing bonus which we owed in any case.

No need to tell me when I am the one who started a thread stating this fact before your reply in this thread
