Mock OffSeason

The FA list actually isn't that impossible IMO but there are a couple of issues I see:

- Dwan Edwards is actually under contract for 2013 but needs to be restructured/extended.

- Beason, D Williams, C Johnson and Kalil are not at a point where their contracts are able to be restructured due to their original signing bonus. I guess technically they could but it would only give you a few hundred thousand of savings not the millions that we need. Gamble contract isn't really able to be restructured either because he would be an idiot to restructure with that much due to him without a new huge extension and the Panthers would be idiots to give him that.

- G Williams and G Hangartner also need to be cut in order to get the cap space needed to sign FAs.

-Beason needs to be traded not Andersen. I would prefer Beason over JA but Beasons contract is a problem. JAs really isn't. Same applies to Williams and Stewart.

Basically the Panthers can actually get to about $10 million to spend on FAs and Draft picks (after re-signing their own FAs) but it will mean cutting a lot of fan favorites.

You have the right concept but the details need to be adjusted.

Dwan Edwards is not under contract for 2013.

I seriously doubt that we will be able to sign Long in free agency. But, if we did we would cut Gross. Bell is a perfectly good RT and we would have no need to keep Gross if we did get Long. Also, I doubt Williams will be available with our 2nd pick and there is no way we can trade Stewart with how ridiculous his contract is. Also, if we are going to trade one of our LB's I would rather trade Beason.

Jake Long is not a good option at LT. He's VERY overrated and coming off his worst season.
