[PantherFeez]

 

The Carolina Panthers used the [June 1st designation] rule to release linebacker James Anderson. They'll receive $2.9 million in savings and will have $10 million in total cap space.

Nothing really to read, just good news considering we have $9M in dead money in 2014 that we need to consider (not to mention contracts with Hardy, Cam and LaFell that will have to be taken care of)

[Gucci Mane]

Nice.. Hurney would have put us $10 million over the combined rest of the league.

[weymouthst]

Lafell contract? elohel

[Mr. Scot]

I'm trying to remember the last time we had 10 million in cap space going into the summer with all draft picks and important free agents under contract.

Hurney would have given Armanti 2 years, 10 million. 

[CPF4LIFE]

GETTLE fuging MAGIC.

 

LOL'd hard at Lafell contract.

 

[teeray]

Good news and I hope we roll it over.

Let's just say that it has been awhile.

That 10 million won't last for long though, especially with our impending free agents next season.

If people are griping about Gettleman now they are really going to be pissed next season.

[CarolinaCoolin]

Cam still has his option. He can wait. Hardy is top of the list as far as I'm concerned

[Gallagher]

Hadn't really thought about LaFell's contract coming up. He's got 118 catches, 1758 receiving yards yards, 8 TDs, 2 Fumbles, and 4 rushes for 95 yards over 3 seasons. That'd be pretty good for a slot, but 600 yards per year just isn't enough production for a #2.

 

Yeah, you could argue Olsen was our true #2 the last couple years, but still I wonder if it'll be worth it to sign Lafell to a bigger non-rookie scale contract. He's a great possession receiver, and always makes tough catches, but isn't terribly fast. He actually reminds me of Anquan Boldin in that way. Part of me thinks though that with Cam, we could get 600 yards and 3 TDS out of any mid-level FA  WR, ie Ginn or Hixon. Or even a rookie.

 

This probably deserves a thread of its own. Definitely interesting to think about though, whether LaFell gets any of this cap space.

[scarface]

Didn't Cam sign a 4 year rookie contract? This is will only be year 3.

[Jackofalltrades]

I hope we re-sign LaFell, but he's not getting a huge payday.

[MrPickles]

We're gonna go after Clady next year. That's what my source(imagination) is telling me.

[carolina-chuck]

Carry that over to next year.

 

and what ever happened to Wharton's cap from last year? Did it ever carry to this this.
