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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.

      Might not have been in this specific thread... As far as the other, I'm not necessarily reading every post that isn't responding to me so I don't think I saw that. Mind you, we've certainly seen the "not a real fan" stuff on here before.
