Does anyone know if Thomas Davis is a free agent next year?

Now, I know there are some differences coming out with the CBA that it could affect whether he will a restricted free agent or unrestricted free agent...I remember reading a great article on the internet explaining the difference between the two.

Can they put a restricted free agent clause on Thomas Davis or is that only with lower round draft picks?

I believe that he is just too important to leave our scheme.

i think with no agreement the player is a rfa until his 6 years of playing in the nfl instead of 4...but I could be mistaken

oddly enough for us an uncapped year is great. Makes us RFA Davis and Marshall, lets us dump all the old age dead weight, and gives us the room to franchise Peppers long enough to give him away - and in an uncapped year, other teams might be more willing to let him sign. None of those options actually cost us much.

Would love Davis back. Of course, he fits best (and has become a bit of a star in) the scheme he has now. Going to some super-aggressive scheme might not fit him, and some 3-4 coach coming in will probably not see fit to spend $7 mil a year on a contain guy when he has three thumpers and needs three defensive linemen.

def. will be depressed if hes not resigned. I swore I thought I saw DWill is also a FA next year. Surprised we have these players in their contract years and we havent extended them to save money short term. Def. would help cap space, but Panthers must doubt the players ability to contribute in the future.

No worries. If Fox is still here we won't need Davis. We can trade up in the draft into the 2nd round and snag another Saftey and then convert him to a LB to take Davis' place. Fox is very good at converting guys to fill needs. I mean look at what he did with Davis.........

that is the only negative about Davis...he gave Fox/Carolina the they had the ability to convert guys at the next level.

I think from now on as long as fox is here we are going to plan on trading our first round pick for a second round pick...That is the way to win I tell yas

no wonder he is playing so good....now if someone would play good already being signed to a long term contract that would be something!!

He put up good numbers last year as well. Really he has gotten better every year. Def a bright spot on D.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
