Will We Sign Our Younger Players to Long Term Contracts?

Recommended Posts

With the "youth movement" and the "purge" of about every high priced contract we had, will the Panthers FO spend the money to lock up our younger talent?

Hurney made a point to say that this whole offseason was geared around our younger players, and that is their focus now.

With that, will they take the chance and spend the money to secure them for the future?

Lately it looks like Richardson is interested in NOTHING but making sure his pocket book is not so "light" in 2010, does this mean that he wont give Hurney the green light on signing our younger players to long term contracts?

It seems Richardson has been gearing up for a lockout, and making sure he doesnt have to pay large salaries in 2011.

If thats true, we will lose players like Dwill, Davis, Kalil, and others...

So is this all a "purge" with no regard to field a competitive team in interest of making sure Richardson doesnt lose money, or will he use the cap space cleared by peppers and cutting vets to make sure he can secure the nucleus of the team together for many more years?

(Right now we are poised to be WAY under what used to be the minimum amount that had to be spent by teams under the old CBA, we will go cheap, or will we focus on playing football?)

What say you.....

hmmm baseless len pasquarelli speculation or a prediction by pstall

what is more worthless?

he Panthers may "lock up" DeAngelo Williams with a contract extension before this season, according to ESPN's Len Pasquarelli.

Williams' current deal expires after the 2010 campaign. The Panthers have no plans of moving away from their run-heavy scheme, so keeping Williams in the fold along with Jonathan Stewart makes sense. Both are elite backs.

I don't see how not being competitive in the NFL will produce more fans = more money for the Panthers organization. Sure all these cuts will temporarily save Mr. Richardson some money now, but will it save him money in the long run?

    • How good would the Colts have been if they traded for Bryce.  Richardson is wasting a good line and quality receivers. 
    • And this was with Derrick Brown having an all-time great season at DT also. Maybe this scheme was done right in Denver, but it hasn't been done right here at all in 2 years, with or without personnel. I'm willing to cut Canales some slack bc he was right in benching Bryce and has helped him develop into what looks like a guy who can be here long-term, and Dan Morgan has vouched for him too, but it's so hard to think about bringing him back after the all-time disaster this year was. Continuity be damned. Hope they are right though. This could be a playoff team with the 2nd Half of the year offense and an even average defense.
    • Re: Cam As you could probably guess, his personality didn't initially mesh well with the no-nonsense special forces guys, but they respected his performance in the challenges and he's been a good "teammate" to some of the others on the show. FYI: Also appearing this season is Golden Tate, who per his own words seems to be kind of lost in his post football life.
