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.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
