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


Samuel L. Jackson

Recommended Posts

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...

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
