I’m hard
Someone explain in finance bro terms
Dis is gud.
Thank God!
Hey it’s like we fired an incompetent GM and hired a good one!
Brandt Tilis what a man you are
*Starts looking at 2025 free agents
We still don’t have a ton of cap space for 2025 though. We’re about midpack, I think. But at least we’re using it on players currently on the team instead of on Vonn Bell Hayden Hurst and Donte Jackson
I’m sure we’ll create some space too restructuring Moton/Clowney/DB/the guards
Let’s fucking go!
Nice to see after years of the Panthers throwing money around just to bite them later on. But, you invest in short term deals, build up the talented younger players, then have cap space to resign the most important ones for future success. We’re seeing a better situation to build long term success while the younger players recently drafted are actually developing into better players. What we saw previously was a bunch of gambles to try to shortcut the recipe of success.
We’re going to make a bit of dead money with Miles Sanders and possibly a couple of others, but it’ll be much better than previous. Still only around $30m to spend though.
It’s good timing with Bryce on the upswing too. If he can continue playing better football through end of year, free agents, including receivers, are going to want to come play with a young qb on the up and up, since we can also shell out a bag.
What was going where they had so much dead cap?
Actual competence from the front office???
In all seriousness, I love that Dan Morgan and Brandt Tillis decided to just take our medicine and get rid of all the bad signings Shitterer made last offseason. We ate a ton of dead money but now we have a lot to play with this year. Right now I believe we’re sitting at ~$35M but that could easily get up to the $60-$70M range after the cap increase and some extensions/restructures. The future is bright!
