What will happen in an uncapped year… in terms everyday Panthers fans will understand

With ridiculous signing bonuses and even more ridiculous contracts that are "backended" and will never see the light of day, don't most teams spend what they want to anyway? Fancy accounting has made the salary cap rather easy to navigate around no?

I never really took the time to understand all of the salary cap rules but I don't think the difference between a capped year and uncapped year are as drastic as people think. Please educate me if I am wrong.

And as far as NFL / baseball comparison (popularity being down in baseball), that has nothing to do with a lack of salary cap because they didn't have one back when it was the most popular sport. Teams that spend ten zillion dollars like the Yankees are good for baseball if you ask me, because it creates a "bad guy" to root against. Life is different now and people just don't have time to devote to a slow paced season that is 162 games long. People can and will always have time to sit down and watch their favorite NFL team once a week on Sundays. The salary cap (or lack of) won't affect the NFL popularity.

Mark my words there will be no lockout.

These NFL players certainly aren't going to doing anything else.

I have close to no doubt an agreement will be met. Before it becomes an issue.

Gosh, I wish you were right. But in this day and time, these potential negotiations will not be up to the PLAYERS. It will be done by the player's agents and lawyers - dragging it out longer = more billing hours. :frown5:

Cliff notes, plz.

The Panthers could actually be in position to reap amazing benefits if next season is played without a salary cap. We should be able to bring back anyone we want to, keep the best teams from trying to take our players, and actually get any free agent we really want... all the while hoping teams like Tampa decide to be tightwads and spend way less than they should...

OP, I think you left D-will out of your 2nd tier of players in the 4th/5th year category?

The 4th and 5th year players are players who's contracts are complete... They would have been unrestricted free agents in a normal capped year, but without a cap, they are restricted...

DWill's contract doesn't end until after next season, so this would be the prime offseason to extend him on a frontloaded (2010 year) contract...

      Draft Taylen Green

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us

      Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
