Updated-Panther's Salary Cap Status*

[Ivan The Awesome]

Who are some big name defensive free agents next season?

Don't expect big name defensive players to come here next season. Expect under the radar players that no one has heard of yet to come here.

Depends on what your deffition of "big name" is. If Keyshawn in 06 is the standard then I would say the last one was 2012 with Tolbert. Hurney doesn't usually go after the best at a position but he has signed guys like Tolbert, Shockey, Lucas, Wahle, Kemoeatu, D Lewis, and Brayton. They're not HOFers but solid players and usually are regarded as "top 100" players available.

Read Ivans post...#15. That pretty much sums it up.

Ok so Hurney is good at managing the cap. Who cares? What's the team's record over the last several seasons?

With your mentality, it seems you'd be happy to have one less thing to nit pick about.

[Argus Plexus]

What a SHOCKer

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Someone will know this better than me....if we save that money until next year, will we have to pay out 89% of the cap including that $8 mil or excluding it?

[Upper Deck West End Zone]

Here's my mentality. Let's win. Hurney prevents us from winning by routinely messing up drafts.

[Kakarot]

Anyone still want Shockey?

Nahhhh

[ItsPantone278]

Anywhere near enough to just J Stew's deal done?

This is gonna work out great. next year wharton will actually free up a little bit more. d will had a front loaded contract like i expected, so restructuring him is def a possibility. between gamble and gross i'd imagine one will be willing to restructure due to their age. also if mare plays like he did last year, you can expect that cap space to be free as well. another 2 mil from otah if he cant get anything together this year.

signing stewy should be simple and when cam's contract comes up the casualties should be pretty minimal.

ummmm...

He's never gone FULL retard. Just sayin'.

[frash.exe]

hurney's going to hold on to as much of that money as he can to help pay for the retarded contract they're going to give to a spell RB next offseason

I was surprised by Lee Ziemba's contract of ($735,000 + $100,000) $835,000 against the cap. For a seventh round pick who (I think) is behind Byron Bell ($470k against cap) and Garry Williams ($783k against cap) on the depth chart that seems like a pretty dear contract.

I remember he played at Auburn but how do you reconcile his contract with a 7th round pick who rarely has seen the field?

Great link btw... Interesting to see Gamble will make 30% more than Troy Polamalu (different positions of course) this year.

CJ # 1 against the cap at $10,000,000. Nice walking around money.
