I am glad we changed course and are no longer the best at signing overpriced FA's and bullshitting the cap. It is about time we learned from the successful teams and followed their lead. It took Danny 10 years to figure it out. Better late than never.

The best teams tend to focus on the draft and they know when to let their guys walk when they are looking for the big pay day.

Or their most productive days are behind them. Older players tend to be more injury prone and miss more time. In general.

thats a very good point. if you let a player walk who is going to get alot more money somewhere else than he's worth to your team, you're going to get a 3rd-4th round compensatory pick for him. its not alot, but its better than nothing. for carolina, i certainly think that the 3rd round compensatory pick is probably worth more to the carolina panthers than keeping peppers and giving him tens of millions of dollars would have been.
