Is TD the next Draft?

Hard to equate the two since Draft was signed as a mid-level free agent.

If you meant Morgan and Witherspoon, it's possible.

I hope that is what he meant. I don't think so Morgan and Spoon were drafted around the same years. Beason and Davis have like 4 years between and their contracts don't come up at the same time. Plus they are both 1st round picks when spoon was pick in the 3rd so his contract was shorter.

is the title supposed to be witherspoon instead of draft?

if so i can see the comparison only i think we'll do a better job of keeping them both. contracts shouldn't be on the same schedule like they were with morgan/witherspoon.

jon beason is a FA in 2012 and davis is a FA in 2010. we got time to get both situations worked out.

I just have this little feeling inside me that, for one reason or another, not end up re-signing him.

Just a hunch.

It all depends on what happens behind him on the depth chart and how much he expects. I just get the impression that the desire to follow the Steelers mould could see a few high priced vets walk out in favor of cheaper system guys.

We shall see though!

Davis is coming into his own. I am sure we will lock him up as soon as we have the cap space and see whether next year is uncapped or not. He is scheduled to be a free agent next year unless it is an uncapped year at which time it will take 6 years insteaad of four to become a free agent.

Isn't that correct?

Would he be a restricted free agent?

Or is it five o'clock somewhere. and I started early!!

Their contract years are offset so it shouldn't be a problem.

Davis, as good as he's been hasn't garnered much national attention so he doesn't have any PBs or ALL Pro lists to jack up his price tag.

Good point. I really think Davis was brought here as a project player who had high expectations placed on him from the staff. He has worked out well, IMO. Let's face it, the guy is 26 years old, has escalated his impact every year, and is now playing next to an All-Pro 24 year old team leader. Carolina created a linebacker out of Thomas Davis and I doubt they would like to see him leave before he reaches his peak. Barring injury, that could be 4 years away.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
