Didn't see it posted anywhere, sorry if it is as it's rather "old" news (at least in internet terms)

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81ecced6/article/report-no-salary-cuts-during-lockout-for-panthers-employees?module=HP_headlines

"He told us the only one who had to worry about losing any money this year was him," one Panthers employee told the newspaper.

Richardson promised his employees that they'd be taken care of even if the labor stoppage extended for months, telling them he had planned on the contingency well before this offseason.

Interesting parts in bold.

But But But ESPN sed Richusenz was teh cheepz!!...

He knows that even if the lockout extends for months, it is bad business to lay off employees. The ones who can easily find jobs and are most valued are the ones who can go elsewhere and often do. The ones who are content to be laid off and collect employment and come back are often the ones who can be replaced and aren't always your strongest workers. So in the end you retain the ones you could very well lose, and lose the ones you most want to retain. So it only good business sense to keep everyone if you can knowing this will be resolved by late this summer if not sooner. Now if it were going to extend into next year, things might be different.

Sounds as if he truly cares about his employees which is a good thing.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
