Final Panthers Cuts

Wow.

#Panthers will use short-term IR designation on undrafted DE Arthur Miley, per source. Miley to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery.

 

1) I didn't know Miley was injured.

2) Using the short-term IR option on a rookie UDFA.  Big surprise.

Only one player can get that designation. Shows how high they are on him.

Funny that they have yet to cut Cox--  I am guessing a PS spot for him

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Can we get an update in the OP? Or a new thread possibly?

I hope they keep 4 RBs this year.  If last year was any indication (starting their 6th string RB for a couple games), it's that RB depth is important.  Stewart, CAP, Whitaker, Todman.  That's depth.

[Mr. Scot]

I haven't exactly been enamored with Cotchery due to last year, but I'm open to exploring all options.

I am too, but I also don't think James Jones is very good.

Seems like we are in a lull--

We had a good defense last year, especially toward the end.  What did we lose? 

Now we have Marlowe, Miley, possibly Cox--all undrafted free agents---competing for roster spots. We found Coleman.  On offense, we found guys like Simonson, Wegher, and plucked players from the bottoms of teams rosters like Todman. 

Gettlemen and the scouting department deserve an A+ again this year.

We usually keep 5 DEs, which is kinda sparse right now given Alexander and now Miley's injuries. 

CJ, Ealy, Addison...Horton I guess. Cox may make it.

Just follow Bill Voth's article:

Looks like we're keeping 5 now...

I think that is premature.  I do not see how we can--we shall see.

I am too, but I also don't think James Jones is very good. 

I haven't seen a ton of film on him, though I'm generally familiar with him. Can you elaborate a bit?

I just find it odd that a guy who has managed at least 600 yards/3 TD's the last 5 consecutive seasons isn't at least worth a look.

I am guessing that we could go with 4 knowing that help is on the way--depends on other positions and how much they can afford that luxury.  This is interesting.

Not necessarily, Todman or Whitaker could be cut.  Fill the same role.

It may be worth noting that Tolbert got playing time in game 4, when the 'sure things' are resting.

[MHS831]

Already keeping Wegher. Voth just tweeted saying it looks like we could be keeping Todman and Fozzy. If that's true, something crazy could go down with Stewart or Tolbert.

Great point about Tolbert.  I still don't thing we keep 5.  As I said to KB, this is VERY interesting.
