Re: Completed Trade: Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks

I have taken over teams that have been 40 mil over salary cap and made it work, so being that they have been in control of the team, they should be able to make it work, unless dumping the team, which is not the case. In regards to trades others make I don't pay attention to salary cap. I assume they know what they are doing. The only time it is an issue if it is someone that has never played the game before, anyone that has played a month should know how it works.

Carolina is going to have to wheel and deal to keep the salary cap from playing a role in using those 1st and 2nd round picks. Should be entertaining but they are very good at it.


My concern is with teams accumulating that many picks are not if they can manage, but the control over the direction of the league they have. For example he may not like what I have said, so there is nothing to stop him from trading those picks to my division and my game plans against my division opponents go down the drain and pretty much my season. That is example, but an owner that has that many picks has that power to control conferences and divisions.

Carolina has mastered the art of dealing and dumping. Nevertheless, a remedy for preventing hoarding of draft choices is to stop trading with the hoarders for a couple of seasons and wait for the inevitable dumping of good players/signed and unsigned draft choices.

By the way, take a look at the situation in Los Angeles. With only 2 players with small expiring contracts on its roster, it is projected right now to be about $160M over the projected salary cap for next season BEFORE reserving money to sign its draft choices (which include 3 1st rd choices). Some tough choices coming for its new GM, tball. He is a relative newbie, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

The owner in Los Angeles obviously decided a new direction was needed for the team. When I left Denver I don't remember him making as many major changes, so I am interested to see what he does also.

The part of the trade 2 #1's for a very good CB, it was a little overpaid, not alot, but #1 and #2 would have been a more fair deal. In regards to rest of throwing in a decent LB and a #4 for a #7, not even close, when the first part of the deal is already uneven. I think both owners are great owners and operate from a fair standpoint. The are both experienced, but that doesn't mean mistakes are not made. I normally take a view of the league overall, just my nature, but my competitive nature also is involved and if the NFC wants to just create a couple super teams and leave the rest of their conference in the dust, more power to them.


My first trade offer was 2 1st for Pace. But a fair trade wasn't enough for Jouameng or the rest of the league. I have sent out over 50 trade offers for good DBs and LBs over the last week and I got one and this one was overturned. Pace was on the trade block and this was his lowest price after 11 offers. His price actually went up when we tried to renegotiate after this. It's pretty much impossible to get a fair trade right now for a DB. Nobody is willing to trade. So that's why I made this trade. I didn't have any other options.
