If — if — the NFL labor unrest is fixed with a new CBA featuring a much shorter restricted period Jerry Richardson better get out his checkbook to save his franchise.
The Panthers are five or six starter-quality players away from being competitive; 10 or 12 from being good. The Big Cat would have to begin by locking up all his starters lest they leave, then add everything except S and RB. (Still cannot believe how poorly the Panthers drafted.)
And judging from the way he spends on slick rides, LB Thomas Davis is certainly counting on a big FA payday.
