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.

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.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Did not expect this from national media. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/10-best-nfl-defenses-2026-texans-seahawks-broncos 10. Carolina Panthers   Key additions: OLB Jaelan Phillips (FA), LB Devin Lloyd (FA), DT Lee Hunter (draft) Key losses: DT A’Shawn Robinson (FA) Don’t be surprised to see the Panthers, who ranked 15th in points allowed and 16th in yards given up last season, make the leap into the top-10 conversation in 2026.  They added two of the marquee defensive free agents in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Carolina lost starting defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson in free agency but essentially replaced him with second-round pick Lee Hunter, who had 10.5 tackles for loss at Texas Tech last season.  Ejiro Evero, one of the NFL’s most respected defensive coordinators, has plenty of talent to work with.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By bandu · Posted

      unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying
