I have to ask because I don't understand it's impact on the NFL. Supposedly with the collective bargaining agreement expiring, the NFL is set to have next year without a salary cap limit. First of all, does anyone know if this is true? Secondly, how does it affect teams for a 1 year period?

its true.. this is what we do know.

The top eight playoff finishers from the previous season would be allowed to sign free agents only at the rate at which they lose them.

• Players would need six NFL seasons to be eligible for free agency, rather than four.

Wow, weird rules. So if a player is eligible for free agency, they can sign for whatever the market wants to pay and the team has no cap for that year? I know a big FA signing wouldn't impact caps next year, but what about years after that? Man it's bizarre.

There wont be alot of movement next offseason, what your team looks like minus the draft now is pretty much what it will look like next season as well. Players to be eligible have to have played 6 years, plus the teams have an extra tag to use.

Also the playoff teams can't sign anyplayers till they officially lose a player.

There are also FA signing rules for Winning record teams, that limit them to 3 FA signings till they lose a FA.

Losing teams I believe have no cap on FA signings.

also Teams would be able to dump crazy contracts they don’t want without suffering the regular salary-cap ramifications(ex.vy or russell).wealthy owners would be forced to sign second class free agents to top deals.the talent pool would be already diluted.

It also means lost of underclassmen will be coming out the draft.

I heard a commentary on Sirius this morning which suggested the players want to get a deal before spring of 2010 as they really don't want an uncapped year. The owners see the deadline as being 2011 when the CBA expires and don't mind an uncapped year as much. Seems the poison pills may hurt the players more than the owners at this point. At least that is the speculation by one person in the know at this point.

Yea the poison pills are going to hurt the players a bunch, already are really. The haynesworth contract comes to mind. The skins betting on next year being uncapped and his deal only being a 4 year deal (last three years won't be seen, because of a poision pill in the contract), with most of the money due this year and next year.

Hmm. Maybe this is what Dan Snyder is up to?

thats the problem. it won't be one year. If it is uncapped and players sign either 1) enormous deals or 2) just get rediculous signing bonuses, the NFLPA will never agree to go back and limit the money given out. once the uncapped year is here, its here to stay. so one year won't make much difference, but it will change everything if no deal gets signed

      RBA Contract Extension Pulled

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Multiple sports media outlets reporting the contract extension for RBA might be off the table. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2904953

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      Yea we easily win 6-7 games with Dalton but prefer the way it played out in getting the HC and GM fired

      Hypothetical offseason question. If the Panthers sat Bryce in 2023 and played Dalton instead, where would the Panthers be going into 2024? One thing is certain, things would be VERY different.  1) Frank Reich doesn’t get fired. Dalton is a veteran and operated Frank’s offense far more effectively in the one game he started than Bryce did. The Panthers likely look a lot more competent early on and Frank doesn’t get fired mid-season. Caveat - It’s also been quietly mentioned in some media outlets that Frank and the staff preferred to draft CJ Stroud and might have tanked the season intentionally to get fired, all speculation. But the vanilla offensive scheme might have been a coincidence due to lack of talent and competence, or perhaps malicious compliance.  2) The Panthers wouldn’t have been the worst team in the NFL. The defense was fairly good in 2023 despite the fact the offense was the worst in the NFL with Young under center. With a veteran starting at QB, the offense would possess the ball for longer periods of time and could have lead to even better performances from the defense.  3) Scott Fitterer doesn’t get fired. A move I think was needed either way, but if the Panthers resembled anything in the way of competency in 2023, Fitterer doesn’t get the axe especially because they hadn’t seen what Bryce can do on the field yet.  4) David Tepper doesn’t throw a drink at a fan. I think we’re all tired of the owner of this franchise embarrassing the fans with his immature behavior but hey, I have to imagine that his rage wouldn’t have been at level 10 if they hadn’t had the disaster of a season they did in 2023. 5) Bryce has a good 2024? Biggest leap I can make in this speculation but I think if Bryce sat in 2024, and the team makes similar moves to build the offense around him, he would come into a much better situation after having a chance to learn on the bench behind a veteran instead of the situation he was thrust into.    We will never know how this would have played out but it is fun to speculate!
