How is that? If nor for his injury he would have been in a perfect situation to get a lot of reps with Stewart hurt again. Are you blaming Gettleman for Gaffney's injury?

 

no this is on him for waving him, overall not a big deal but a wasted pick............which sucks

What's ridiculous is the league rule that you have to cut a player to put them on IR. That boggles my brain.

Its not really cutting a player, but you aren't allowed to activate them for the rest of the year. You have to do this if are going to allow them to sign a player in place of the one you put on IR.

You are waiving the rights to the player to allow them to proceed through the wire and re-sign them to the IR. That's cutting them. What doesn't make sense, through, is why you even have to do that. If a player of yours gets hurt, he should stay yours, moving that player to IR should create the roster space.

Once you make the 53 roster you can do that. Im not arguing it makes sense...it may or may not...but its different when its not in season.

I am willing to bet that the folks whining about this are the same folks, who on game threads, call the game over the minute we fall behind.

Some folks aren't happy unless they have something to whine about. Mostly it is funny. But in times like this? Not so much.

Blame Gman for trying to IR an injured player. Or blame Stewy because we tried to IR an injured player. Huddle logic at its worse. You just can't make this stuff up.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
