Placeholder: Other Team's Cuts

Recommended Posts

I guess a mod can sticky it, change the title to your liking, or whatever.... Hopefully people will use it. Post any interesting cuts from other teams that could help us out... Or at least guys you think could help us out.

Dexter Jackson from TB. - I know all he did was return, but he can fly. Also, teams typically sign guys off other teams in their division, so I can see it as a possibility. What do you think?

*LB Stryker Sulak, who we worked out earlier int he offseason was cut by Green Bay. Not sure if it would be worth the trouble now b/c I think Leman and Ivy would be hard to beat out at this point.

*QB Kevin O'Connell was cut from the Patriots. I thought this guy had tons of talent, would like to see what he could do (no worse than McCown, I'm sure). Maybe PS guy?

Several scrub DTs but none better than what we already have.

Not when it's pertaining to who you think could help the Panthers.

Post guys that get cut that you think would be an upgrade or valuable addition... Or guys that you think we could realistically sign.

Saying another team's trash is going to be an upgrade for us, sure doesn't paint a pretty picture.

Look around the league. There are quite a few players that are starters now after being cut from another team. It will be that way until they let teams keep more than 53 players.

A perfect example is Justin Hartwig. He just won a Super Bowl as the Steelers starting center after being cut by the Panthers.

It's rare though. Very low percentage. But hey, you can't gamble unless you try.

Jared Bush was an undrafted guy that all of fans like a few years ago and he got cut and was quickly signed by Green Bay. He hasn't started but has been their nickel and dime corner since then. And the titans have jovan haye and tony brown who were both cuts from us a few years back. If someone decent gets cut I would like to see us improve the depth on the offensive line, safety, maybe corner, or maybe a kick returner would be nice.

I don't think it is that rare. I suppose percentage wise, sure, but look at all the players that have been picked up or went undrafted. Some of the league's best stars are those that didn't make the first cut, or were backups (Delhomme...Warner....Michael Turner....etc).

Wishing we had kept Tony Brown myself... would have helped out this year for sure.

He's another perfect example of the numbers crunch. I guarantee you that John Fox did not want to cut Brown, but the Panthers were loaded at DT that year and somebody had to go. I wish we still had the same problem.

    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
    • The Jets and Bill's are statistically worse
