Maybe Ed Dickson isn't as safe as some would imagine. Or maybe this backs up the idea that the Panthers go after a TE in the draft. We know that it won't be Cook as he just signed with the Packers, but interesting to see where Gettlemen's head is at. 

What say you?

It means Gettleman is always looking to improve the roster at all positions. He is a badass GM that took the Panthers to the Superbowl in three seasons on the job.

I don't think most people thought that Dickson  was safe in the first place. His stark lack of productuin has been discussed earlier this offseason. 

I am more miffed about why it seems like we always show interest in guys with mitts for hands,  including Cook and Dickson. 

If we can draft a good TE, great! I wouldn't mind Scott Chandler or Owen Daniels in the meantime.

Yes, come on down Hunter Henry!

Cook is a potential dynamic receiver and a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. It shouldn't surprise anyone that we were looking to go from PFF's worst-ranked TE to that opposite Olsen. 

And to expand on this, our interest in Cook should make it abundantly clear that we're interested in adding to our offensive threats. A #2 TE makes the most sense, since that spot has been a black hole since Shockey left, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Gettleman target a receiver at this point either. After all, Cook is essentially a large WR. His lack of blocking ability keeps him from effectively being an in-line TE or H-back, and he was in the slot enough in Tennessee to request WR money when he was franchised.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
