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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
