Panthers approx $29 mil under projected $132 mil cap per Joe Person

Maybe Hardy will be franchised after all or potentially making a move for Hicks. If Hardy is franchised, I see this only as a one year rental and we will be in same situation next year.

If we are going to be 35 million under the cap or more once free agency hits, instead of giving a good chunk of that money to Hardy, I might still go ahead and tag'n trade him.  That gives us more picks, and we could bring in two or three good free agents with the extra money.

Atleast if we have the money to tag Hardy that will give us some leverage in a tag and trade scenario.

I don't think Gettleman is done quite yet. Restructures to CJ and Olsen along with cut such as Godrey, Dwan Edwards and Chase Blackburn could get us to 35 under the cap. 

yes! and while we are at it cut the scrubs in the secondary/ or don't give another one year ticket....

 

-Flo is good for two claps and a rick flair but better at being out of position

-Josh anybody goes without saying

-Captain is basic at best and his best efforts match his worst efforts

[NJPanthers12]

Josh Thomas, Josh Norman, and Pilares will probably all be cut. Along with the possibilities of DeAngelo, Godfrey, Dwan Edwards, and Blacknurn there will be more room coming.

Can anyone tell me how much cap space we had last year before we started signing the one year desk free agents?

Trying to figure out how much we really need after we tag hardy?

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

There is no question we should be able to re sign the guys we want on top of getting some quality FA with this dough. We aren't in cap hell at all, or so it seems. Of course we still have those awful RB contracts.

[Scrumtrilescent]

It's for Gross' replacement.

[L-TownCat]

It will take more than half of that money plus an additional 4-6 mil to sign Cam, Hardy and our draft picks.  Leaving us with about 5-10 mil, as it stands to sign FA's.  It looks good atm but we got a ways to go to be active as we need to be.

I hope this doesn't really bite us in the ass down the road. Seems like an awful lot of problems are just being kicked down the road to be dealt with in the future.

 

Agreed. So far he's making the same moves Hurney had to do yearly to be under the cap limit... and got praised for it (yay Hurneymagic!) until poeple realized what those moves really meant.

 

Panthers have already committed 100M for the 2015 season on only 29 players and Cam isn't one of them.

 

Now i'm not saying Gettleman is bad, far from it. He bought us an entire secondary (including the nickel) for less than 4M, the guy can scout but let's not crown him yet, he's not doing magic with the cap.

[Evengelion]

Would be nice to get Eugene Monroe or Brandon Albert to replace Gross so we wouldn't have to gamble on an OT in the draft.

[Panthers111]

Nice we got more flexibility to maneuver this year. Keep in mind tho that Marty did this year after year to a high degree and some of you guys called him a cap genius lol. Short term improves but long term gets more sucky. Ever wonder why we never had back to back winning seasons? It is like using a credit card. Fix your problems now and buy some nice upgrades for the team but when it is time to pay the bill down the line it is going to hurt.

If he could get us a franchise LT and WR then the foundation of this team would be set. Once we have the QB, LT, WR, and DL intact, the rest are plug in guys. We won't have to worry too much about money the next 2-3 years. By then a few big contracts will be expired.
