2010 FA rules may force our hand...

If a stay isn't granted the NFL will have to start free agency and more than likely the 2010 rules will apply which can be good and bad for us. The good is that the only UFA would be Thomas Davis...who's value is down coming off two knee injuries.

So what's the bad??? The number of defensive tackles available is drastically reduced as well. This uncertainty would leave us with Landri and company again...not where we need to be. Dareus becomes even more valuable with a limited free agent pool. We could still sign hasselback, trade for Palmer, or sign alex smith or bulger to help the current QBs develop.

These last minute developments could change how the Panthers view that number one pick...thoughts???

I may be wrong but I don't the 2010 rules being put in place by the league, or if they do it is a stupid move on their part.

However, if that does happen it is horrible for the Panthers. Richardson is not going to sign any big time contracts until there is a new CBA. Davis is as good as gone and the rest of the team will play under their tenders. I would guess that the only new players coming in would be drafted players and low level free agents that wouldn't sign monster contracts. I think you look at the trends from last year for the most part; the big spenders will continue to spend while the others get by with spending as litle as possilbe.

Excellent points.

I still think there is too much uncertainty regarding FA and future rules regarding RFA to have a huge impact on draft strategy.

GM's must be seriously stressed out trying to anticipate the possibilities.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
