Deangelo Williams? restricted FA??

Is Deangelo Williams a restricted or Unrestricted FA this year? I really don't want to see the guy leave and with whats been going on the past year I can't see him staying here. I also am starting to wonder about his durability because that's two years back to back he went to IR. I wonder if his trade value has dropped because of his injuries.

Also I love how people think Goodson can replace Williams or Stewart after running for 2 100 yard games. Sure its a great accomplishment and I am very happy for the guy but he is not as good as Williams or Stewart.

DeAngelo signed a five-year, $14.5 million contract back in 2006. The deal included $5 million guaranteed with another $3 million available through incentives. The remainder of the deal plays out as follows:

2009 - $645,000

2010 - $725,000

2011 - Free Agent

This is a highly combustible contract situation, but one that is absolutely reason to be even more bullish on DeAngelo's prospects for the upcoming seasons. We don't see him even mentioning anything about his contract situation until the 2009-2010 offseason. He will put his head down and prepare like no other for this year, and with the carries he's given, he will make the most out of it.

No new CBA = RFA

New CBA = UFA

This. Same rules as the 2010 uncapped year.

But there is a catch. Restricted Tenders have to be handed out by the end of Feb. and signed by June. However if no CBA is worked out by then, agents will probably instruct their clients not to sign their tenders in a wait and see mode. Then if a new CBA is reached, say in the late summer or fall, it could be retroactive backwards making some of those tenders mute, letting those players become unrestricted.

Thus we could have two free agency periods next offseason: early March and the days after the new CBA is signed.

I don't think Deangelo wants out as bad as many think. I have a friend who is members of the double trouble and have actually met the duo of running backs last Halloween. He told me Deangelo and Stewart were willing to take a pay cut to be able to play together and seemed pretty close friends. Now they could just be saying that for publicity but I just cant see him leaving like peppers did. We already cut the vets this year and the CBA will be in place so there shouldn't be a scare for any big contracts past 2011.

while i don't think either back is money motivated...this seems a little far fetched.

carolina to williams..."hey d, can we pay you less than what we paid you under your rookie contract?"

d..."will i still be splitting carries with stewart?"

carolina..."of course."

d..."WHERE DO I SIGN!"

thats why I said they might be saying it for publicity. Dlo and J stew have there own web site where I believe you have to pay and they invite people to come to parties they have. I seen some pics of the parties from my friend. They seem very friendly people and it might not be as far fetched as it seems. Having two great running backs on a team is rare and has put up success in past teams with 2 great rbs. It takes the load off of the #1 rb and can help him play longer while still putting up 1,000 yards a season. Not to mention it will get them publicity where they can make money from endorsements.

Also if Dlo has a bad game it can be over looked because we know JStew has a pretty good chance of coming in and having a good game. The odds that both have a bad game are rare but has happend and when it does it doesn't just make them look bad it makes people think something is wrong with our O-line because two all star running backs have a bad game.

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
