The end of profit sharing what that means for the panthers....

[micnificent28]

i ve been hearing alot about this and how its going to affect the nfl. it looks like it will signal the end of small market teams competing with bigger teams for big namers. it also could mean the end of teams that depend on that cash to make ends meet. the jags,bills,vikings ect. it means that the nfl will become more like baseball. the big name teams dallas,the redskins,the patriots will dominate and compete season in season out for the championship. with that being said how will this affect the panthers. will we be forced to move like the jags..what about when it comes time to build a new stadium..its a new ball game ladies and gents...

panthers don't benefit from the revenue sharing. they are among the most profitable teams in the NFL.

just because you are small market doesn't' mean you are destitute.

don't worry about it. it just means the panthers get to keep more of what they earn rather than having to share it with the poorer teams.

also there is little to no chance that it will stay that way. when a new CBA is reached and everything else gets hashed out, revenue sharing will start back up again.

not if Jerry Jones has anything to say about it. and all it will take is one year of no cap and there is no going back. Do you honestly think players will play for cheap(not cheap, but a lot less than what they will be offered during a no-cap era.) after having a taste of a no cap system? Not gonna happen. Say hello to Dallas, Redskins, etc having a roster full of straight up super stars.

Jerry Jones is a fuging asshole.

Jerry Jones is a fucking asshole.

MOST players could end up making less IMO.

Only so many spots on a roster.

Also keep in mind the effects of tags(franchise and others).

Players need the cap just as much as the owners.

jerrah doesn't have as much weight in the league as you think. the last 15 years have been working against him. the league doesn't bend in his favor. the capo will be back and so will revenue sharing.

btw...good job getting around those filters.

this is true. with a cap ceiling there is also a cap floor and teams are forced sometimes to spend more than they would otherwise. the revenue sharing takes away the excuses for them not spending enough.

I know he doesn't man, but I'm just going by what I've heard. There are several owners who are pushing for no cap. There were some old owners who were standing their ground and pushing it away(aka Wellington Mara, etc) but I honestly can't see it going back to a cap if it's actually removed.

I just don't want the NFL to turn into the MLB :[

He does right now because of that albatross known as the new Cowboys stadium.

The NFL can't afford for Dallas to fall into the abyss.

Most everyone agrees that you will NOT see wild spending during the non-capped season.

[rayzor]

well, aside from the redskins and cowboys you won't.

i fully expect them to try.

truth is there probably won't be a whole lot of movement going on, at least not compared to the usual. i can see less of the valuable FAs actually hitting the market. i can also see more college players coming out in the draft trying to get in before the rookie scale hits. there may be a few FAs that are just cut from their teams to make way for the young ones but it will be more to do with future contracts and limited roster space.

one thing to remember is that just because there is no cap doesn't mean that contracts all of a sudden disappear. teams that are bound to their teams will still be bound.

[SnarkAttack]

Are the Panthers really considered small market? I thought I read somewhere where our market was in the middle...

With the rules they have in place in case of an uncapped year it is not really going to benefit anybody. With top teams being unable to sign a FA unless they lose a FA of equal or greater value, UFA not begining until the 6 year mark, a total of four tags per team, etc. no one is REALLY going to benefit.

The owners would benefit more than the players but not by a massive margin.

The reason they owners decided to do away with revenue sharing is it backs the NFLPU into a corner. By doing away with revenue sharing they pretty much told them to fug off. The union was probably wanting too much of a profit share and the owners weren't going to take it. By cutting revenue sharing they are forcing thier bluff because now all of the NFL players know that if it becomes uncapped then you are down to about 10-12 teams that will be willing to pay big money for players. It was a smart move by the owners. I wouldn't be suprised to see revenue sharing in the final draft of a new CBA.

good points. have any thoughts on the potential lockout if a new CBA isn't reached?

This..... I really hope we do reach a CBA next year cause I dont want a lockout.
