Panthers veteran players that may be on the bubble

[Captain Morgan]

with 9 rookies, and the possibility of an UDFA or two making the team, I'm

thinking there is a very good chance we give up a pick or two to move up

a round in this draft.

If we gotta choose between Reaves and Tolbert I'd rather keep Tolbert.  He's a capable receiver and he can throw blocks, in addition to grinding out the short yards better than Reaves could.  I know the whole younger thing, but we got Fozzy and likely a RB added in the draft for the youth movement.  I think Tolbert is still worth $1.4mil to us.

If we draft a RB which sounds like it could very well happen, the question is do we want both a RB4/FB1 and a FB2/TE4 or could we save a spot and just go for one?

 

If we don't take a RB, Tolbert as the FB1/RB3 is still a big asset, if we grab a RB, his contribution level diminishes and it'd be hard to use him for what he is.

I wish they'd use him for what he is more anyway.

For those referencing our record with a healthy Tolbert, his return also coincided with Norwell, Turner, and Remmers all finally getting into the starting lineup together AND Benwikere and Boston getting the nod in the secondary. In this case I feel pretty strongly in saying that correlation does not equal causation.

 

A player with Tolbert's body type isn't going to stand the test of time, especially not at the position that he plays. Reaves could conceivably be a short yardage back. And if you don't trust him for that, why is he on the roster?

Special teams contributions might play a part in these decisions as the roster is trimmed to 53.

No doubt.

The issue with Harper as depth is that the backup safeties are usually on ST, and he doesn't seem like a great fit for that type of role.

Judging from his speed that would be a step back on special teams. If we do draft a Cb...bene could move to nickle n allow Colin Jones to become a backup nickle and safety along with him doing his ST duties as well. Maybe situational nickle as I believe he has the talent. As far as coverage last year did show how much we miss Senn and Williams.

Swap Jennings with Cotchery and I'm happy. Honestly I don't remember a single good thing Cotchery did on the field last season. I'm sure he helped Kelvin and Philly, but I'm sure Jennings could do that AND produce on the field.

I know he dropped a game winning TD

Harper on staff?! Harper as a DB coach?! Harper as a GM?! fug it why stop there, how about successor to Jerry Richardson as team owner?
