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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
