Have any legitimate veteran lineman been cut yet?

I know final cuts will be saturday/sunday, but I'm interested in keeping an eye out. We all know we need depth, but I haven't seen if anyone worth a damn has been dropped yet. I don't care if he's 35 and wants to retire, we need something for atleast this year.

you'll be sure to be mad/disappointed.

Gettleman/Rivera won't come out and bash the O-line and say things like "it's clear we need an upgrade". They are going to walk the line and say exactly what has been said thus far. If you don't think that they will take a shot at upgrading our roster if the situation presents itself, then you're wrong. 

 

The question is really if a clear upgrade at tackle becomes available, and if we can afford it with our current salary cap debacle. I think there is probably around a 40% chance we bring in o-line help before the season starts.

 

If we don't then I think the situation will turn out a lot like the 2011 season at the DT position. After Ron Edwards went down the consistent sentiment was dear god we can't really be entering the season with two rookie DT's, but that is exactly what happened.

my peraonal feelings of the line has heen more in line with the masses.

Aftrr hearing that they really like their top 8, the only way I see them bringing in somebody is if we are ravaged by injuries along the oline.

I don't care that we disagree. I just feel I'm being a bit.more realistic than most.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
