That's when Travelle Wharton's cap hit finally comes off the books. By that time pretty much every free agent worth a damn will be off the market though.

Hopefully, the Panthers have already worked out deals with a few quality free agents and are just waiting for this move to finalize until they can push through the paperwork and officially announce that they are signed. Also, this means it's much more likely that we'll be able to re-sign Shockey (not resign for you grammar nazis).

I'll be watching that date (and maybe the following few days after) specifically to see if our FO has any tricks left up their sleeves. I guess we'll see what happens...

Yep, hopefully we've told Shock to hold tight until then. Too bad we missed out on Garay but, at least we got Applewhite back. Really by that time, after the draft, even if the FA market is thin, I don't think we'll have too many needs as a team.

I don't think any "quality" free agents are gonna wait all the way until June to be paid.

if your best offer is from a team that needs to wait a bit until they have the cap space I don't see why you wouldn't take that. the base salary doesn't get paid out until the regular season starts anyway and that's the biggest chunk of a contract normally.

some of the most sought out players in the entire free agent market signed with the Bucs knowing they'd have to wait to see any money at all

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
