also don't discount the possibility that Bell is just talking about being a UFA and having an uncertain future now. 

good dude, loved in the locker room, but didn't match the expectations the Panthers have for a 2015 tackle. so it goes. hope for the best for this guy. hyperbolic kvetching by Panthers fans aside, he belongs in the NFL.

maybe let's chill with the "crazy bitch on drugs" talk. all you've got is Hardy's 911 call and he has a lot of motivation to exaggerate her state. nothing concrete says that he wasn't a "crazy SOB on drugs" himself at the time. I hope Hardy is cleared just like you guys but it really looks skeezy to see everyone getting their confirmation bias all over the place in a domestic violence situation.

i'm sure there's still lots of juicy details to come out. i wouldn't exonerate Hardy just yet. but it's clear this is a complicated situation that will require professionals to unravel.

i want to give a big big ups to nate chandler who made the squad as a tackle. talk about stepping up, changing positions, and gaining competency in training camp. that's a solid football player.

refreshing to see dead weight and old hurney experiments trickle off the roster. improving the bottom 3rd of the roster is improving the roster.  somehow i knew horton was going to make it. he was doing everything right.  i liked how steady melvin white was in the run game. folkerts looked great in training camp practice videos FWIW.

 

my guess at practice squad from this crop of cut players:

roh DE

lester S

shaw WR

walker DT 

maybe mobley T.  

 

rest will probably come from other cut lists.  really think all of the waived/injured guys will be injury settlement/out of here.  the team is moving on. players like brandon williams and folkerts prove new GM isn't afraid to pick up guys off the street for specific roles.  i think this is an exciting time to watch the roster fill with more skill and production.  fewer "hail mary" roster spots means more consistency week to week IMO.
