The NFL cuts thread--Panthers cut 11


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

Britton Colquitt - P - Broncos The Broncos have asked P Britton Colquitt to accept a pay cut.

If Colquitt doesn't accept, he will likely be released. The Broncos would then roll with rookie Riley Dixon at punter. Once one of the NFL's highest-paid punters, Colquitt is entering a contract year. He is owed $3.25 million.


They are shopping him at the moment.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera indicated that whether another safety is signed could hinge on the return of Dean Marlowe (hamstring), who is moving better but still not practicing. Rivera said backup quarterback Derek Anderson took a rare day off because he was sore from a hard hit against New England on Friday. As for punter Matt Scifres, who injured his kicking knee against the Patriots, Rivera said he was feeling better but still is scheduled to meet with team doctors to determine if there is any damage.

I hope we are kicking the tires on Kruger. I know he's a pass rushing OLB, but at 6-4 270, he's got the size of a 4-3 DE. 27 sacks the past 4 years, wouldn't be a bad backup. I'd rather have his size and pass rushing than Horton or any of the other backup DEs that haven't stepped up for us.

Truthfully, I've always liked Horton.

He always seemed solid against the run at least. Beats all these guys we expect to be situational pass rushers that can't seem to get pressure (and still suck against the run).

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
