Hardy, Kalil, DeAngelo, Stewart, Bell, Charles Johnson: Who will be back next year?

[Sam Mills Fan]

All of these guys will either be free agents or have been mentioned as possible cuts/trades (not sure the cap logistics for guys like DeAngelo and Stew though). How many of these vets do you see returning in 2015? Any surprise cuts/trades you foresee coming?

[JawnyBlaze]

Should?  Hardy, Stewart, Kalil and Bell as a backup if his numbers are less than the ludicrous $2mil he's hustling the Panthers for this year.

 

Will?  Kalil, Stewart, Bell (probably with pay raise for facing the hardship of trying to block all those big meanie DEs), CJ

clean house. Build around Cam with young, fresh, talented guys. Cut the guys that hinder that rebuild and are being dealt more than they are worth

Kalil, johnson, dwill need to go

[Zaximus]

Hardy - gone, sadly (if not-guilty)

CJ -  massive paycut but most likely, gone (ATL signs him and he becomes a beast again after getting over injuries)

Bell - back, probably starting at RT or hopefully on the bench lol

DWill - gone, maybe bring back if he wants a new cheaper contract

Kalil -  paid too much as a center, needs to take a pay cutt/restruct/cut and resign or something

Stewart - same as DWill maybe

 

Gettleman will let Hardy/CJ walk and say the line is fine.  Next year's DLine is this year's Oline.

i really think williams hangs up his cleats on his own after this season.

call it a hunch, or call it gas...but i think he retires.

What makes you think that? He hasn't given any indication of that right?

As said ad nauseam for the past couple of years, you can never include Stew in these conversations. His contract makes doing ANYTHING impossible unless he decides to straight up forgo money out of the kindness of his heart:

 

[OneBadCat]

Kalil needs to stay. You think our line sht now lets just get rid of our probowl center. Brilliant.

 

 

Deangelo needs to go. Johnson staying is all dependent on what happens with Hardy in my opinion. Stewart has to restructure to stay. Don't give a damn about Bell at this point.

[JawnyBlaze]

Holy mother of God almost $10mil cap hit in 2016...

[beastson]

Stew is a free agent next year?????

 

I'm confused on this stuff. If we picked up Cam 5th year option why does everybody including national media keep talking about him being a FA in May?

[nosuchthingasapanther]

he's given no public indication whatsoever...it's just a gut feeling.

So if we cut Stew, he won't be a 8.3 cap hit?

[Matthias]

Kalil's not going anywhere.  Who would you replace him with?

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about that too. At least we should have proven commodities at DT, but our pass rush has been weak this year anyway and has the potential of altogether disappearing next season.
