How Panthers Fans Fared as Dave Gettleman

On Wednesday, we posted about a new online game by Fanspeak that lets fans ‘manage the cap’ in a free agency simulator. We also mentioned if a handful of Panthers fans filled out their own rosters, we’d post them. Well, many took us up on that, and you can see how they did in the role of Dave Gettleman by navigating through this post. But first, some things that stood out:

  • DE Charles Johnson, who has a $20 million cap hit in 2015, was restructured in all 17 submissions.
  • DE Greg Hardy was re-signed five times and one fan even re-used the franchise tag on him.
  • S Thomas DeCoud was cut 16 times while RB DeAngelo Williams was let go in 11 of the rosters.
  • TE Ed Dickson and DT Colin Cole were popular picks to bring back in 2015.
  • A handful were willing to spend a chunk of the cap signing T Bryan Bulaga, but most stayed away from high-priced WRs, instead opting for cheaper options like Cecil Shorts.

    I tried a couple times, got confused, and gave up. It’s more fun being a couch GM than a real GM!

    I tried, but it wouldn’t accept any contract offers.

    It would have been very helpful if they were to list the minimum allowable salaries for each year of service.

    This sucks IMO. I was able to resign Greg Hardy Colin Cole Dwan Edwards Chris Scott and Ed Dickson, sign King Dunlap Hakeem Nicks Ted Ginn and Malcolm Smith, Cut Thomas DeCoud and still had 9 million in cap space left. Left tackle has to be addressed in free agency because the top ones will be off the board by the time we draft and we don’t want to be in a situation where we’re reaching just to fill a need.
