That would sort of be like baseball. Talk is the next year or two could be that way. Obviously would benefit bigger market teams. We'll see.

On no hard cap, there's talk teams might be able to spend over the cap (without penalty) which allows them to keep high-priced vets.

Could be big deal.

Could be unfounded rumor.

Discuss.

Seems like something a particular mega billionaire Owner, who's currently over the cap brought up.

Lol, this.

Also the Panthers wouldn't be in trouble, because of the PSL's they rank in the top 10-11 in revenue each season and are one of the more valuable NFL franchises.

they are wayyy over the cap too and would have a hell of a time getting under

Not really, they can make 3 moves and get under the cap. Just restructure the deals of Romo, Ware and Austin. Saves 20 million in cap room and extends the three most important players on the team.

So...this means the Panthers can sign players like crazy?

They could but...

We lack a big enough market to sustain them. Other bigger revenue teams wouldn't. Clearly this gives some teams an advantage and that is obviously the biggest clue NOT to support this. They should just raise the ceiling if they must, teams don't HAVE to spend everything.

Who wants to see the Cowboys become even more popular?

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
