Will their ever be a Salary Cap again?

Hey guys one of the things that is keeping me up at night is that a new cba is never established. Now by saying that I do not mean that we will never have NFL football again, I am fairly confident we will see NFL games this fall. My fear is we have a NFL without a CBA and in turn without a Salary cap, and I am not talking about for one year like we had last season or could have in 2011 because as long as the owner show solidarity in not spending a ton of money the game can go on as if their was a salary cap. But as a fan I am scared that we will have football, but without a CBA and salary cap and teams like the boys, skins, and jets will simply buy Lombardis! And smaller market teams like ourselves will be screwed! Perhaps even more importantly the parity driven league that gave us a chance at a Lomardi in 03-4, and has been the best era of NFL football ever will be over. What are your guys thoughts can/will this happen? If so how does it affect the Panthers?

There will be a salary cap. If no CBA is reached, they will probably revert to last year's rules. But when a CBA is agreed on (and it will happen eventually) I'd almost guarantee there will be a salary cap and very little deviation from what we're used to. The sticking point between the two sides is dollar figures, which isn't something that actually affects the game.

Their?

Yes, there will be a cap.

The spelling Nazi thing is getting real old. :rolleyes: Just because you spell well does not mean everyone does and this is not a grammar board.

Ok back to the OP. Well there is 3 routes that I see this going.

1. The owners get what they want and the Cap will be back in place.

2. The players get what they want and there never will be a Cap again. Maybe not even a draft.

3. The players get what they want and there will be a Cap and the draft.

The 3rd does not seem likely because the Union makes it money on how much the players get in there contracts.

Don't care, reading crap is getting real old too.

Better than your WE WANT TAKE A QB IN DRAFT crap. Really when was the last time you were right about anything panthers related? Look down, that white horse you have been riding is brown and smells funny. :beatdeadhorse5:

Know what else is getting old? Reading these 1 sentence posts that you write so confident in your opinion that are usually wrong :D

    • The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.
    • It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
    • And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
