I found this over at Bleeding Green and I found it very interesting. We have tons of cap space but also have to deal with signing a #1 pick most likely and the influx of free agents we have. Seems like there is no direct correlation with spending and winning especially with Denver and Dallas towards the top and Tampa Bay and Kansas City by the bottom. With all this cap room will we be trying to piece together some free agent pieces? It is an option by looking at these figures.

Remember that there's going to be a rookie cap

So we’re not going to be handing out a ridiculous contract to whoever the #1 overall pick is.

That aspect of it seems to be lost on 75% of the prognosticators out there...

everyone is still talking about rookie “mega contracts”, but if there’s one thing the owners WILL NOT compromise on is the rookie wage scale….

exactly

but this is being ignored by a lot of people…they’re still treating it like we’re going to be giving out 50+ million contract or something…

...assuming the CBA is completed before the Draft

it won't matter, since they can't sign the rookies until the new one is in place anyways

That's likely the case

He was cut back in October.

Because of his suspension Tanard Jackson's contract rolls over one year.

What are the chances we grab a TE from TB? Are they any good besides Winslow?

What’d TB do? Did they just give Keydrick a 1 year contract? I thought we cut him last season…

And TB may not re-sign Cadillac… didn’t he suck the past couple of seasons, or is that Ricky Williams I’m thinking of?

by scorpion12 on Feb 10, 2011 8:32 AM EST reply actions

Jerramy Stevens has skill, but I don’t think he’s a big enough upgrade over the guys we have now. Winslow definitely fills the role for myriad reasons, but TB will franchise him unless they’re too scared about losing Davin Joseph.

Vincent was indeed a 1-year deal.

I don’t think they’ll clamor to resign Cadillac unless the price is right.

I'd love to get Vincent back

from the Bucs to solidify the o-line. That would be a pretty good pick-up and can finally bring some semblance of unity to the o-line as well.

TB will have to franchise either Kellen Winslow or Davin Joseph… either would be a HUGE ‘get’ for the Panthers.

Well if they franchise Winslow

I hope they aggressively pursue Either Vincent or Joseph. Or in a dream world we get both and kill two birds with one stone by finally being able to stabilize the o-line and we’d have good depth at the position too.

Well with Chud....

I could certainly see Winslow coming here if he’s not tagged. Coached him at the U and for his career year in Cleveland. They seem to work well together.

Absolutely...

But I think he’ll definitely be tagged

I do too

Which means we should be ready to put a pretty decent bid in on Davin Joseph.

I don’t understand! We have “plenty of cap space”, but are second on the list. Is having such a low number (73 Mil) a GOOD number? Can someone explain this, please :/

Taylor Yates for #1 pick!!!!!!!!!!!
