damnnnn. Manyyy things can be speculated about this. Godfrey going on IR, Teal getting cut. Munnerlyn, Wesley, Wilson getting cut. Remember the way the CBs have been coming in has always been Gamble, Marshall, Wilson, Wesley, Martin, Munnerlyn. With Martin and Munnerly switchin between the #5 and #6 spot. I doubt they'll cut Wesley because he's a beast on ST. Wilson has been the #3 CB.

There is also the possibility Taylor could be cut as well. Or maybe they cut one of the Offensive tackles Williams or Schwartz.

Personally, I have no idea who they'll cut if Godfrey ISN'T going to be put on IR. I kinda lean towards Munnerlyn because obviously the coaching staff didn't think too highly of him at PR since they went after Jones. And he's been battling Martin with the #5 spot. Martin is a high draft pick, so I guess they'll cut Munnerlynn IF they dont cut one of the tackles.

Punt returning notwithstanding, Munnerlyn has looked to be a better corner than Wilson -- and in his rookie preseason, no less. I really think Captain can be a special talent given time. For that matter, I think he'd also be a good returner. He showed some potential in that area. If any of our corners go, it's Wilson. Martin and Wesley are backup safetys, and Martin can play the nickel.

Martin has an injury as well, and judging how he's played in the preseason, I wouldn't be surprised to see them "redshirt" him on the IR.

Munnerlyn won't get cut. do you have to cut a player b/f moving them to PS? we have a spot (or 2?) left.

Yes. Frankly, I dont get all the hype about Munnerlyn. I didn't see hardly anything out of him during preseason at CB. He was always the 5th or 6th CB to enter the game. And I dont get the criticism of Wilson. He may have had a few bad plays early in preseason, but I saw him get better with each game.

at first it was classified as a hyperextended knee, but then turned into a "bruised knee", which could be anything. Remember Foster's "bone bruise" that ended up resulting in microfracture surgery? I'm not suggesting this is as severe, but Martin could miss some time. Given that he wasn't doing very well in preseason and was for all intensive purposes beaten out by a seventh rounder, I don't think being placed on the IR is out of the realm of possibility.

That's the thing: I saw far more missed plays from Wilson than Munnerlyn. True, Wilson saw more playing time, but this will also be his third year on the roster without securing a starting gig. How many more years are we going to keep him on the roster if he can't convincingly win the nickel position?

Not only that, but Munnerlyn would be a much better special teamer than Wilson.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
