Panthers Roster Projection Update

I can't remember a year when the Panthers kept 10 O-linemen. I remember, under Fox 1 year, they kept 10 D-lineman but never 10 O-lineman.  9 seems to be the max for most teams and some teams only keep 8 with all the extra room teams have now on the practice squad.  So I am not saying it won't happen but the likelihood of it happening seems low.

Unless Mayo shows something on Special Teams I'm wondering if he could slip to the PS.  I still think it unlikely, but the percentage chance has crept up in my mind from like a 10% possibility to a 30% possibility. 

Rivera's press conference yesterday talked about the serious competition at various positions and how those 4th or 5th deep on the depth chart would have to be obvious contributors in multiple special teams phases.  Who currently fits that model among the LBs who are battling for a spot? 

(I confess my fairly large ignorance of Special Teams phases... and would love to learn more.)

Am I the only one that thinks Byrd should be given a roster spot over Cotchery? 

Eh, it depends.  I've been as vocal against Cotch as anyone, his veteran presence is completely overblown IMO.  That said, he is owed money, he knows the offense decently, and on top of all of this, I legitimately think we can stash Byrd on the practice squad safely this season.  If I had any fear at all of Byrd not safely making it to the practice squad, I wouldn't even suggest it.  All of this is for naught though if Byrd shows out in the preseason and gives us no way to not include him on the roster.
