Salary plan will help/hurt these teams...

I know there's already been Several of these but it's a good read, and gives you an idea of what/who will be active when FA begins... it is a different article than the ones already posted...

Here's the Carolina excerpt

"4. Carolina Panthers: The Panthers want to re-sign defensive end Charles Johnson, linebacker Thomas Davis, running back DeAngelo Williams and cornerback Richard Marshall. They have plenty of cap room and incentive to do that. Their payroll is currently at $70.5 million, meaning that owner Jerry Richardson would have to put close to $50 million into play. But they also have $30.65 million in cap room, so they shouldn't have much trouble getting those big deals to work. The Panthers aren't expected to be big players in free agency but they will be one of the top teams in trying to re-sign their players."

Nothing really new but they mention other teams as well...

Edit: if you dont read the actual article it's important to note that the article said the new cap floor will Hurt TB... They are a young team with loads of young and cheap talent already... They will be forced to spend big $$ during FA... So expect the Bucs to land a couple of big names.

IMO, this is bad for us... Time will tell

make sure you like to the article

If we sign all of our guys, I consider us big winners in Free Agency.

If we sign all of our guys we want to AND sign a DT and/or CB I consider us hands down winners of the Lockout.

No doubt... We have big name CORE guys that need to be resigned. Without them we lose big time!

I knew that TB had more money than us, but never thought about them being so active in FA since they've always been a team that builds through the draft.

It honestly scares me a lil bit that they have the means to go after Aso from Oakland. It's pretty widely known that we will not even entertain going after him.

I never thought I'd hear this come out of my mouth ever... But we will need to keep our eye on these guys.

Our division is gonna get tougher... I have faith in our new coaching staff and FO that we will pick up the best available FA's that fit into our system. I'm still looking for us to pick up FA's from Chicago and SD where Rivera led both defenses... We will be a force to be reackoned with... I'm ready for this stupid lockout to end so that we can move forward!

This is a lot of speculation as they have nothing substantial to talk about. I think every GM on every team is paid relatively well. The GM's primary goal is in most cases to work with the coaching staff to field the most competitive team they can come up with in an effort to win, increase fanbase and gain revenue.

If this happened tomorrow 32 teams would do this. Yes there would be some short term money balances but over time everyone will adjust.

There might be some short term perceived advantages but I think everybody has to play the cards they were dealt.

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
