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.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother, I don't want to drop the amount of rage I have about BY and the fuging Pickett signing....when murray was free, tua was free, lance was about the same cost. But you know during practice when other teammates see and hear the passing for any of them compared to BY, he may cry right then.... It does feel like Dan and Tillis were told "make BY work, by any means". You recall the first plan was to drop 163 million on OGs to protect the little fellow.......then drafting WRs and they even signed his buddy WR this FA period..... I just go back to Dan Morgan wanting instill competition throughout the roster and T-H-A-T is your QB room ??? bloody hell, what a joke and disrespect to the whole roster outside that group....

      Id drop this in here- I fully believe nearly ALLL the Tmac hate leading up to the draft came from the Panthers..... There was plenty and it was believable, cause many did just that. There was huge questions and about 85% of the huddle took the cheese hate.  I do have this too- Banks has a broken feet and a history of feet/ankle issues. If he didn't, 19 would have been fair landing spot. Of course, but Prince spoke highly of him in a Twitter post....former teammates and all, but he still made the post and I haven't seen other players prince did so for.... Maybe the 51st on banks, but maaaaaannnn big men with broken feet broken its feels like it never ends well. I mean after brain, spine, I think Feet are the career killer leader.  Draft DL feels weak in every way.    Last morsel- there's a weak rumor of Panthers trading for DT Payne out on the vine....(his price I feel kills it, but new contract solves that for trades)....

      If we go all in and sell out with Bryce as our QB, it will even more entrench the idea that Tepper is at minimum running the QB room for me. Now i could be wrong and Dan really is that confident in Bryce all by himself, but nothing this team has done in the past 3 offseasons leads me to believe that there hasnt been some noise from big T. He's admitted that he walks through the office making his opinion known. To me, Bryce's output has just not generated that kind of confidence that we are playoff worthy other than against the Rams. Against the SB champs, just damn.
