Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman says he doesn’t believe there are limited windows in which teams can make a run at championships.
But Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has a window.
So does linebacker Thomas Davis, who turns 34 this month and is heading into the final year of his contract.
Same goes for Julius Peppers, the 37-year-old prodigal son who signed a one-year deal to take another crack at making his first Super Bowl with the team that drafted him No. 2 overall 15 years ago.
The events of the past 48 hours suggest Gettleman might be rethinking his position on this whole window business.
