Looks like the vote will take place in Charlotte.

Arthur Blank, the dapper owner of the Atlanta Falcons, arrived early at the Ritz-Carlton on Wednesday for the NFL owners meetings after a short drive from his office north of downtown. Blank was anxious to hear commissioner Roger Goodell's plan for the new 18-game regular-season schedule.....

...His face told it all: There was no vote on the new plan. Goodell decided not to take one.

And, one by one, the owners left the building empty-handed -- with no tangible consensus other than the catch-all "momentum is building" for the so-called "enhanced schedule," which could be the final financial solution -- or undoing -- of stalled labor negotiations that have the owners and players in an uneasy place.

So, why didn't Goodell call a vote -- one that many owners and their representatives said before the meeting they had expected and wanted, and one that certainly would have cemented a unified front that might have made the schedule change a fait accompli?

The owners' answer to that question might be provided Oct. 11-14 in Charlotte, N.C., site of their next meeting -- if Goodell finally calls for the vote.

Here is the full story.

    • The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.
    • This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.
    • The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
