Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney acknowledged the team's inability to sign a pair of young Pro Bowlers, running back DeAngelo Williams and center Ryan Kalil, to contract extensions this year because of new NFL rules, which could lead to their potential departure as unrestricted free agents next year.

Well they are acting like the Panthers are only team been affect by this rule. It's not just the panthers. It's the whole league. So unless the owner and the NFLPA gets a deal before next year. Then all teams in the league will lose alot of top players because of this rule. But the sad thing is Marty Hurney saw this coming last year and never bother trying to sign both Khail and Willaims to a contract extension before the rule kicked in thhis year. So pretty much Hurney is at fault here. Hurney is starting to prove is no longer able to perform his duties as GM. This is the reason he is most likly gone after this season along with Fox.:cuss::leaving:

Panthers were so close to the cap this time last year they couldn't sign anybody and had to rework contracts just to stay under it. DW and Kalil's extensions will be a much bigger contracts vs what they have now so there was no way to do it then.

And yes, at the time, I think keeping Peppers was the right move then.

Don't be silly. You start off by saying every team is affected and then blame Hurney for not adapting and being prepared for it, all the whilst acknowledging that all other GMs are faced with the same dilemma.

Simple thing is, we did not have the cap room to extend them before.

Hurney from the article..

You deal with what you have. All 32 teams deal with the same rules.

Another example of a huddler ignorantly overreacting without looking at the big picture.

It grinds my gears that we have to go through all this uncertainty while a new CBA is being worked out. I think it's a given the percentage of income applied to players salary will have to reduced a few percentage points but simply implementing a rookie pay scale will shift MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars to veterans that have earned it instead of giving it to unproven rookies.

This thing is going to drag out until the end of the season and the players will cave right before the owners lock them out. I wish both sides would consider the fans and get something done sooner rather than later. I'm sure a lot of RFA's would love it too because they're waiting to get extended contracts but can't get paid because of that stupid 30% increase rule.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
