I thought there was no free agency until the CBA was sorted? Or if that's not the case you have to have had 6 years service to hit it, otherwise you are restricted?

From what I can see, is that players have to have had 6 years in the NFL before they become unrestricted (or until the CBA is signed which would dictate the new terms).

Due to this every single free agent we have is restricted, other than Thomas Davis.

Most teams will have the luxury of waiting but unfortunately some of the bigger market teams may end up snagging the top tier available talent for cheap as players who normally hold lots of negotiation advantage get nervous about getting muddled in the mix immediately following the CBA signing.

The way I understand it is this:

Free Agency doesn't open until the first week of March: So you cannot sign players until then, because their previous contract doesn't expire until then. (Remember all the midnight signings of previous years.)

The current CBA expires on or about the same date.

Therefore, there is no labor agreement in place between the union and the owners at the time the signings would normally take place. You would have a hard time "locking out" players you currently have under contract, while at the same time signing new players.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
