Holy cow.  That makes 8 Tight Ends on the roster at this moment.... 

I know that there are two distinct TE roles...  receiving TE and a Richie Brockel type blocking TE... but still.... this is a surprise. 

Dickson and Simonson are likely going to have trouble making the roster!

 

FYI, I believe we went into camp last year with 6 TEs on the roster.    Here's the list I saved last year.

Dickson, Ed
Olsen, Greg
Williams, Brandon
Brockel, Richie
Childers, Jamie
Simonson, Scott

I have to say, this is one of the most unpredictable offseasons so far for the Panthers...

When a bunch of us here were getting draft crushes on TE Hunter Henry it seemed like it could be a solid pick, and many of expressed a desire to get more depth behind Greg, begin developing a TE for the future.... and potentially upgrade from Dickson.

But did any of us foresee or predict this wholesale attention and commitment to upgrade a position that wasn't an obvious position of need?

This really excites me.  It's very clear Gettleman & our coaches aren't going to be happy to settle for a position group that is "good enough" but are relentlessly pursuing a plan to upgrade.   AWESOME.

He looked pretty good in camp last season.  I think he was one of the guys we were most sorry to cut if I recall comments from Ron or Dave...

Given that we claimed him off waivers, and we're 2nd to last on the waiver wire, it's clear he wasn't high on any other team's wish list....

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
