Two Important Dates Are Looming For Panthers CB Richard Marshall.

In 10 day (June 15th), if Marshall hasn't signed his $1.759 million free agent tender by then, the Panthers can reduce his 2010 contract amount to $.583 million (110% of last years salary). While it would seem crazy of him to give up around #1.2 million by not signing, who knows.

If Marshall doesn't sign (hoping for a bigger long term contract), then a holdout could become possible. If he were to holdout past August 10th, then a new 30 (prior to the start of the season) day rule will kick in, causing him to lose a year of service toward free agency this year. He could gamble that a new CBA will only require 4 years to become a unrestricted free agent.

Bone-headed move not to sign. His agent has to know this. He will sign.

s much as I thought I liked him, it seemed like he got burnt a few times when we really needed a stop, and the fact that he is acting like he is our no.1 corner because he was bumped up form nickle the no.2 is insane, he has great talent and can tackle but this whole situation is ridiculous

      The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing.

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.
