Lets say the current CBA expires in March as anticipated. There is a lockout as anticipated. The lockout drags into July/August as anticipated.

JR said we are not signing ANY players until the new CB is in place.

How in the hell is Hurney going to negotiate and sign the majority of our "core guy" free agents that Richardson wants to build the team around in such a short window of time between CBA agreement and training camp? We could go into training camp (if there is one) in very bad shape.

Sum-a-bitch, I do not envy Hurney. Cancel any late summer weekend plans Marty.

Almost all our free agents will be restricted so Hurney can slap tenders on them in late Feb. which should prevent most of them from getting snatched away before a new CBA is in place.

I doubt any teams would be willing to shell out a draft pick and a huge contract to a player until they know there will be games played this fall.

I'm not so much concerned with how/when we'll sign them, I'm concerned that if we follow JR's plan regarding the the CBA and not signing guys until the new one is done, they'll just get signed up by other owners that ARE still willing to conduct business.

Like has been said a million times, it's either gonna end up genius on the otherside of the CBA or have us standing with egg on our face. The other owners aren't as concerned with the "bad business model" as he is, and kept conducting business as usual... Just hope it doesn't continue with our free agents. It's already manifested itself in frustration with guys, like Marshall for instance.

the big question is will we be able to put tags on certain players to keep them from signing with other teams as soon as a new CBA is agreed to? or will they all be unrestricted free agents?

mainly referring to Kalil and Charles Johnson.

yep. who knows what the new CBA will allow. Hurney could be faced with a poo storm. He better be laying the foundation now, which I'm sure he is.

.

Teams can sign their own players/free agents back. However no team can sign a free agent from another team until a new CBA is in place because there will be no free agency period. That is why there is a deadline for it to be signed.

In otherwords, no team can just sign our players away.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
