Quintin Mikell?


CoastalCat

Recommended Posts

What happened to Quintin Mikell? He just kind of quietly fell off the roster in the offseason, and doesn't seem to be on a team at the moment. He played in 14 games last year. I don't remember him being awful. He had 59 tackles and 2 forced fumbles.

 

What gives? Did he retire? Was he injured? I understand all the players leaving in free agency for bigger contracts, but it seems like we would have brought him back for OTA's or something.

 

Did I miss some news? 

 

PS: Sorry for all my dumb secondary questions this week.

Apparently he is recovering from an injury and has all but retired. I read that somewhere, but cannot rememberwhere at this moment.

 

Edit found it:

 

 

 

Mikell had offseason foot surgery and told Philly Sports Talk he is all but retired.

Panthers SS Quintin Mikell suffered a foot injury in Sunday's Divisional Round game versus San Francisco and will not return.
Undrafted rookie Robert Lester will finish out the game at strong safety. The extent is unknown, but Mikell is an impending free agent and turns 34 years old before next season. A Lisfranc injury could end his career.

my bad. I thought Harper was replacing Mitchell... Shows you how much I care if Roman makes the team or not

Decoud is hopefully doing that. He's the reclamation project.

 

Harper is just the veteran blitzing strong safety. H

It went crazy when all the injuries happened in Buffalo.  Originally it was Godfrey at FS, Mitchell at SS.  After the injury, Mitchell moved to FS and they pulled Lester off the practice squad where he and Mikell split time at SS.  

 

I kind of like Harper for rushing downs and blitz packages.  Coverage, not so much.  If he has any injuries past this turf toe though, you probably won't have to worry too much about him.  He'll be IR'd and gone next season.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
