SALARY CAP HELL -- WHO IS SUFFERING THE FIRE..??

Lately it seems as if everyone (???) is constantly complaining about how the Panthers have mis-managed the CAP. So, depending on which source you use, the Panthers are currently looking at about $40M in cap space -- give or take, considering the TOP 51, and Dead Cap, and etc., etc.

For your reading pleasure, here are the Cap numbers for the ten (10) teams that are in the worst position this year.

NOTE: THESE ARE OLD CAP NUMBERS -- CURRENT NUMBERS ARE MUCH WORSE..!!  NEW NUMBERS PUT THE SAINTS AT MORE THAN $80M IN THE HOLE... IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN NEWER NUMBERS, CHECK OUT THIS LINK FROM BLEACHER REPORT.
10 Worst Cap Teams As Of February 15th.

#10 -- GB Packers   (+)$5.58M
#9  --  Pitt. Steelers   (-)$767,000  (that's THOUSAND - And it's NEGATIVE.!!)
#8  --  Clev. Browns   (-)$1.55M  (NEGATIVE)
#7  --  SF 49ers    (-)$7.41M  (NEGATIVE)
#6  --  Dal. Cowboys   (-)$9.84M  (NEGATIVE)
#5  --  LA Chargers   (-)$20.84M  (NEGATIVE)
#4  --  Mia. Dolphins   (-)$24.64M  (NEGATIVE)
#3  --  Den. Broncos   (-)$27.17M  (NEGATIVE)
#2  --  NO Saints   (-)$32.44M  (NEGATIVE)

AND NOW --- The #! worst team in Cap Hell is......

#1  --  Buf. Bills    (-)$42.83M  (NEGATIVE)

CAN YOU IMAGINE --- Having to cut  $43M off of player salaries just to get under the TOP 51 Cap number.???  And it only gets worse.!!  As the teams get closer to cut down, the Cap Number includes the 53 roster including the rookie draftees as well as the Practice Squad players.  Plus you have to have some money to manipulate players as the season begins...

I would contend that the Panthers are doing pretty OK. Wouldn't you..??
