FA will want to come to Carolina this year....you can count on it!

Peoples' opinions regarding athletes that want to get paid is highly hypocritical. I bet no one here would take less money from their employer in the hopes of making more in the future. Add to the fact that a players' career can end with one hit.

When players take less to play for a particular team, the amount they take less is usually marginal. No different than staying with your current employer for slightly less v leaving for slightly more money from another company. Sometimes the increase in money isn't worth it for the change. Also, many players have relationships with coaches at particular teams.

NFL players think no different than any of us about money.

Yes you can, it is no different. Read any finance book or talk to any wealthy person and they will tell you that you are still "in the rat race" regardless of what you make. The more you make the more your standard of living increases. Rich people are chasing pay checks just like everyone else bc their tastes increase incrementally with income.

Why do you think all these NFL players go bankrupt after playing in the NFL? You really think these guys are investing in 401ks and driving Hondas?

Will one of you mods mod my post and correct my code? I can't do squat since the boards were updated. Ic an't even quote people anymore. -____- I blame zod for my technological issues.

[Mr. Scot]

i also don't think that, aside from maybe hardy/rosenhaus, that players will try to play hardball contractually if we want them to be a panther.

 

that's not saying we'll get a lot of discounts or whatever, just that they won't try and stick it to us. they'll be reasonable.

 

I think most guys realize Gettleman's not the type to write blank checks.

 

Those days are over, and good riddance.

this will be hard for rosenhaus to adjust to.

 

i would laugh at other teams having issues with him because we never did. the joke was on us because the reason we never had problems with him was because we were willing to give whatever was asked of us...unless we were in hardcore negotiation mode which was essentially "you want $10mil/year? no way! we'll give you $12mil/year and you'll NEVER leave!"

Pretty much :lol:

 

One thing that absolutely needs to happen is that we need to become consistent winners.  Teams that are perennial contenders are the ones that can get away with playing hardball because they can tell guys "we're already winners with or without you".  That puts the team in the driver's seat.

 

This year makes that look possible.  Hopefully next year does too.
