The Panthers have waived TE Richie Brockel from injured reserved.

Brockel was on the IR, so I don't think anyone was signed, nor are we making room for anyone, unless there's some rule I don't know about numbers of players who can be on the IR for a team in the season.  We've got a pretty long list, but I imagine most teams do by this point in the season.

I assume this was just a recognition that he's not likely to get a roster space next year, and cutting dead weight on the roster.

don't we have to make room for Charles Johnson coming back sometime soon?

Ah, yes, that is true.  Gonna be a tough call.

I wonder if Delaire could be sent to the PS?  That's my best guess honestly.

Other possibilities: maybe Simonson?  Or Bersin again....  Norwood??  Given the trade for him, he's almost like a "draft pick" so I doubt we'd waive him.   We already waived Horton this season when we had to call up extra Oline depth from the PS.  Doubt we'd waive him again either.  He's a valuable player.

I doubt they'd risk waiving Marlowe or Wegher after holding on to them for so long on the 53 even if they're not playing this season.

    • Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.
    • Im saying its Tar Heel fans who would do that. I root for all Panthers to succeed regardless but college affiliation means zero to me
    • We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
