Panthers Release Safety Thomas DeCoud

Recommended Posts

name one other vet in the secondary.

He'll start until another player puts him on the bench.

Is he supposed to teach the other players how to play? Isnt that what a coach is for? Veterans should lead by example and show the younger guys the ropes (work outs, how to take care of their bodies etc.) And to your last point about he'll play until someone puts him on the bench well on 31 other teams he would be on the bench. We definitely need to upgrade both safety positions this offseason. Harper is garbage.

Really wish we would cut Harper or just play him as an OLB on passing downs he's to slow to play safety. Anyone know if we save any cap by releasing him?

 

Yes we can cut him and save money. I just forgot how much, but if I recall it is in the vicinity of Decoud's cap savings.

 

 

I'd cut him in a heartbeat, and try to sign Quintin Demps.  This would be an upgrade over Harper. Plus Demps can return kicks if necessary.

I would be happy with that. You get another veteran who is likely an upgrade plus he could possibly contribute on STs

This was a no-brainer cut with Tre Boston emerging and the $2mil in cap space it saves.  No way they'll cut Harper.  

 

Gotta say it feels good to be reigning division champs with something around $20 million in cap space, with more likely to come, and a young and talented roster.  Carolina is poised to make a big jump in 2015.

Indeed, but it will only continue at the expense of unpopular decisions fan wise! Releasing Smith and not overpaying for a mediocre LT are part of the reasons we have this cap space

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
