Not much in potential receiver cuts

As has been stated before, trading for a receiver in our situation probably isn't a very practical idea.  You're likely looking at trading for a three year contract when what you really want is a one year band-aid since Benjamin will be back next season and Funchess will have a year under his belt. So if anybody new is coming, it'll probably be someone found on the waiver wire after roster cuts.

With that in mind, I took a (very quick and cursory) look at receiver depth charts around the league to see if there was anyone interesting on the bubble.

The answer?  From what I can see, not much.

Names like Greg Salas (who's on his fifth team) and former Panther Tavarres King (who was cut early last year) dot the landscape of 5s, 6s and beyond.  Not exactly exciting prospects.

One name I did find mildly interesting: Tyler Murphy, a former QB from Boston College (started at Florida) who the Steelers are trying at receiver.  He's looked decent in preseason action but might not make the final roster.

To be honest, if you were looking for a savior to come from other team's cuts, you were likely gonna be disappointed anyway.  Barring any surprises, the most you can hope for is depth, and even that prospect doesn't really appear to hold anything all that great.

So basically, if you're waiting for someone to come in and make everybody forget Corey Brown, I wouldn't hold my breath.  Anything can happen, of course, but it looks highly unlikely.

Brown blows. His performance would get him cut on any other competent franchise with aspirations of winning. With this team, who knows?

I'd rather bring back Keary Colbert, Drew Carter or even Dwayne Jarrett than run this guy out on the field for another play.

DG should be getting the best possible receivers he can get. At this point, it shouldn't matter if the contract is more than 1 year as long as the money is reasonable. Whats wrong with keeping them more than a year anyway? Keeping a really good group of WRs together for more than a season should be a good thing anyway. What are you going to do when 1 of your top guys goes down again anyway? You'll be in the same situation again.

  It is possible the Eagles cut Cooper, the Skins cut Garcon (who would not be good with Cam) and the Rams will have to cut a decent WR (or stash one on IR)  Baltimore and KC should send vets packing.  I look for a veteran or 2 to be cut to save $$ if a rookie has shown well.  There have been 2 deep WRs classes in the past 2 drafts, so I expect some surprise cuts in cap-saving moves.

If we cant pick up a decent wr how about going for a surehanded TE ? - bring back the shockey/olsen game.  If olsen gets hurt this team is truly screwed

Not so sure we need more TEs.  Dickson I think is solid as a receiver.  He was asked to block alot last year in tolbert's absence and given our dreadful O Line which explains his poor stats.

Simonson has been playing well.

How is Brandon Williams in catching?  I've been viewing him as one likely to get cut since he's been out with an injury all year, but if he can catch, he certainly might make it...

Marcus Lucas is being switched from WR to TE and seems to be playing ok...

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
