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.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
