Schefter:

This is getting more interesting than most thought. Three sources: Extension of talks now a definite possibility.

Retweeted by gantt:

Just heard from #MajorBigTime NFL insider: "Hearing some crazy things. Hearing this thing could be extended, but I don't just don't know."

Several sources are saying that the deadline could be extended...this is definitely a better outcome than decertification and a lockout.

Also, in light of the good news I won't mention that I called this last night...lol.

Sources coming...

duh.

Oh and this means Free agency does start but with no Cap again and players need 6 years to be a URFA. It would also mean I presume all tags are valid and stay in place.

So JR free agency is going to start, you are gonna have to actually spend some money or lose out.

This is a delay tactic. The owners bluff was called. The union intended to decertify today if the deadline wasn't moved. The owners did what they had to do to prevent this from going to court. This could be bad news for fans if a resolution is not found, because delaying the deadline, delays the decertification, which delays the court cases, which delays the judgement.

It's pretty apparent the owners aren't going to give, but let's just hope that the judgement in Minnesota concerning the TV contracts openned the owners eyes to exactly what they will face during antitrust lawsuits that will result from decertification....

Just remember Judge Doty's ruling was meaningless...

It is... The owners will either extend or just lock out and wait for the ruling to be overturned. No other judge will side with the owners and if I had to guess he is one of Smiths friends.

I didn't even consider that...I wonder if that's how it would work? I would assume so, especially since other teams are signing extensions left and right. With that said...I think free agency would get pushed back as well.

LOL and what is that? Wahhh you don't pay me enough? What are they really going to win? you can't hold the owners to the current pay salary because the CBA expired.

What it does is put hundreds of players in limbo as they can't move from team to team because that would be collusion.

Time to deal with reality, the billionaire owners are successful business men for a reason. They aren't afraid of the NFLPA, court, congress or anything. They know exactly what they are doing and the end result will be, the players have to come back to the table as a union (which they must have to get free agency etc) and take what the owners demand. This is a waste of time for everyone, the end result is the same = owners win

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
