New Aspect of an Uncapped Year

I just thought of something. When most people think of how a uncapped year could help a team they only think it allows them to sign more talented and expensive players, but there is another side. It could potential allow teams that have players that they consider busts, over-payed, or just unneeded to unload them.

Normally a high salary guy also has a big signing bonus. When a team cuts them whatever the amount of the bonus is remaining is counted against the cap immediately (even though the money is technically payed all up front). Do u see where I'm going with this? The money would be counted in an uncapped year. So this leads me to the conclusion there could be some very talented (but maybe unsuccessful in there NFL careers) and young players available. That could potential be a young project QB that we could pick up and not have to use a draft pick.

So do you guys see anyone out there that you might like to get that could realistically be let go in this situation?

This is something I've been wondering, exactly how would the uncapped year work? On the surface I would think every team would simply pay off every contract clear the books and start from jump street, but I don't believe that's the way it would work.

What are the restrictions, if a cap is re-instated does the total current payroll go against the new cap? I'm to lazy to research it, how did that work when the cap was first established? I'm pretty sure something like that happened, it's what burst the SF balloon right?

I brought up the idea last week about Peppers signing a new long term contract and having the majority of the money to be paid next year. I wonder if they can do that?

I could certainly see that scenario, why wouldn't you. You kwow there's gonna be another salary cap, it'd just be stupid otherwise...

Yeah I hope someone who knows will chime in..... It could actually work somewhat in the Panthers favor if the can clear the books. The core is in place, but they're currently on of the most cap strapped teams, and capital isn't a problem.

Yeah exactly clear the books and start fresh, talk about leveling the playing field. I think at least in the short term the Panthers would come out ahead, because they have a young base they could potentially lock up.

Yeah, the Panthers would definitely benefit from that scenario...

The problem arises when he signs said deal and they get a deal done so no uncapped year occurs and we become cap strapped just because of Peppers's deal

I can easily see a scenario where the owners agree to a new CBA, but keep 2010 as an uncapped year. A lot of owners would like to do this.

You will see a lot of players dumped because all of the prorated bonus's that get accelerated into that one year (2010) won't really hurt a team.

Plus a lot of potential Free Agents won't be an FA until 2011, if the rules stay the same. In the current CBA, with an uncapped 2010, about 250 players who would normally be eligible for FA because of their years in the league will not because the CBA under those circumstances will add a year to be eligible for FA.

Plus the final four teams in the playoffs cannot sign free agents who's contracts have simply expired. They could if they were cut. For example: if the Panthers had not franchised Peppers and his contract expired, he would be a free agent. BUT if this would have happened in 2010 under the Current CBA, then Arizona, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Baltimore would not be eligible to sign him.

You wont see this happen.

The PU and Goodell understand that a CBA has to be in place. No one will want to see a hold out, and thats more of a possibility than an uncapped year.

A new deal will include some type of Rookie salary and money getting to the Vets.

Its already in the works, so i EXPECT something to happen- they have 10 months!

      Canales has worked with Wilson, Smith & Mayfield. He didn't move on from them did he? Reich & Canales have both benched Young. Young consumed a bulk of the Panthers' draft capital & free agency the past 2 seasons all for offense. What will it take for people to realize Young isn't a professional athlete, nevermind a leader of professional athletes?

      Brees and Payton template for Young

      Brees was the EXCEPTION. My God why can’t people see this. We didn’t outsmart anybody by drafting Bryce other than ourselves. In his prime Brees was NEVER A PROJECT. He was never just an ok QB before getting plugged in with Payton.  In his second season in SD he threw for 3,200 yards and 17 TDs. His last 2 years in SD he threw 51 TDs while being sacked 55 times. He was already a stud before going to the Saints.  he threw for at least 4,000 f-in yards EVERY SEASON from 2006 to 2018.  He threw for over 5,000 yards in 5 of those. I really thought all of the Bryce people had given up by now. He’s not Drew Brees. He’s not throwing for 80,000 yards and 571 TDs over a 19 year career, while leading one of the most prolific offenses of all time. He would be lucky to have met the guy who once carried DB’s jock.  Bryce is morale poison who throws hospital balls, 2 yard dump offs and pick 6s because he lacks the critical physical attributes to succeed in the NFL as well as the burning desire to BE A CHAMPION. He spent the offseason watching tv and playing video games. Every year wasted on him is a year wasted in developing other actual legitimate talent that exists on offense. Expect XL, the line, and pretty much the entire offense to regress if he starts next season. Canales gets it. It’s about making the Panthers win. Not Bryce.  Imagine being his teammate and hearing that after his pathetic ass rookie season, he went home to watch tv and play video games in the offseason. Imagine what Thielen really thought when he first heard. He should have hired a personal trainer and throwing coach the last day of the season. He needed to immerse himself deeper in to football, he chose to withdraw. he is not and will never be a champion. Dan is putting together some good offensive talent that will be completely wasted with Bryce under center. He’s injected high level talent and veteran leadership on the offensive line. There are skill players with big play ability, who are running free. I’m trying to pump the brakes but this offense is shaping up to be pretty fun to watch, and it only took one offseason’s worth of moves. I don’t think we are as far as people say we are.  So his big contract hit….   Want to know why divorce is so expensive… because it’s worth it.
