Huddle gets mention on B/R

I’d say Ginn has a better shot of earning a spot than Cotchery just because his speed adds a new dimension to the roster, but considering the lack of experience of Benjamin and Funchess, a veteran's presence would be valuable.

Then you have young players like Corey Brown and Stephen Hill fighting for larger roles. They have more upside at this point, but you need to have some experience at the position.

Cotchery has seen fewer snaps with the first team than he did last season, according to Carolina Huddle. It’s been Funchess, Brown, Ginn and Brenton Bersin spending most of the time working with Newton.  You’d have to consider those four, plus Benjamin, the leaders in the clubhouse to get spots on the 53-man roster, but this competition is far from over.

hile no one, except possibly Russell Wilson, is better with their legs at quarterback than Newton, his arm still needs some work. According to Football Outsiders, Newton was the fifth-least accurate quarterback in 2014, including finishing with the worst rate of overthrown passes, at 17 percent. It’s not just the injuries Newton suffered last year, either—he overthrew 15 percent of his passes in 2013.

That needs to change if Newton is going to justify his new contract. I believe that he can improve—and it’s certainly something more concrete than the bizarre criticism that he "plays like someone who constantly has friends in his ear telling him that he’s the greatest”, likeSports Illustrated said earlier this week—but it’s the one thing holding Newton back from being one of the top QBs in the game.

Alright BR, I see you for calling out SI.  Good poo.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
