How will an uncapped year affect the Panthers

[frash.exe]

what do you think? The panthers are one of only 4 organizations in the NFL to never experience an uncapped year.

could it hurt business? Is it better for us to not experience having to meet a certain figure in total salaries? Do you think contracts will get out of control between no limit and players' expectations of how much more they can get paid because there are no restrictions?

How do you think Hurney and his clan will handle signings? Not necessarily big-time deals but the smaller ones?

I don't see Richardson and company spending insane amounts. Washington and Dallas will though.

It shouldn't effect us too much if the uncapped year hits. we are 11th in organizational worth in the league. SO we can compete with the other clubs for sure.

There ya go.

While we don't have the cash Dallas/Washington would have, we would stay in the top ten of talent most likely, thank our PSL owners for that when you see them.:eek6:

Hopefully, we'll already have a good team for that year and then just pick up a big free agent or 2, sign em' to one year deals and then head to wherever the Superbowl is.

This is great for the Panthers.

The only time we'll have an uncapped year is in year 2010 (IIRC) when the owners and players union haven't agreed on new terms. My point is, from what I remember, new terms would be agreed on. Of course, anything could happen. But the main goal was to get rid of the old plan of action due to rookie contracts.

There are a lot of things that will actually limit what teams spend so it won't be the free for all that baseball enjoys. For example players won't be free agent after 4 years without the CBA, it will be six years. Plus we can franchise 3 players rather than the current 1. Plus teams with the 8 highest team salaries will have restrictions on new spending. It is all outlined in this article.

That should even the odds a little, year by year. (then again, signing a ton of FAs doesn't necessarily mean you're going to do better the year after)

The rule will restrict the final eight teams in the playoffs from signing free agents. The final four teams shall not be permitted to negotiate and sign any unrestricted free agent to a player contract except for players who acquired their status by being cut or were on the final four team when their contract expired. Playoff teams five thru eight get a break to sign one player with a salary of $4,925,000 or more and any number of players with a first-year salary of no more than $3,275,000 and an annual increase of no more than 30 percent in the following years.
