You guys think we will keep all the tight ends? What is the thoughts on us keeping a FB?

 

RB is interesting to me.. how many will we carry? I feel like Fozzy will make it once again... He must be a sweet talker to the coaches. Training camp will be make or break for the DBs and defensive linemen. Hopefully everyone can stay healthy and give their best.

"ALL" the tightends?  At most we keep 3  (Olsen / Dickson / Simonson currently most likely).  I'm pretty sure there were chunks of last season where we may have had only Olsen & Dickson on the roster, but I'd have to check.  (Or maybe that was 2015?... I forget).

FB, yes I feel very certain we'll keep a FB.   Drafting Armah confirms they are  wanting to do some things at that position.  Heck., our coaches are STILL talking about Richie Brockel long after he's gone.  Seems like they long for that TE/FB hybrid kind of guy.   I think there's still room for a blocking FB, especially given some of the issues with protecting Cam.

This is an interesting question.

Going by playing style / role, you'd think CAP more likely to keep than Fozzy.  CMC replaces Fozzy as the change of pace back, whereas CAP is more of a Stew backup...

BUT, based on coaches opinion of the player, and playing time in 2016, Fozzy would have the edge.  And to be honest, he had some VERY nice games last year.  He was one of the few bright spots on our offense in a number of otherwise dismal failures.  He had some great catches (led the team in reception % for quite a while in the season, not sure if he finished 1st or 2nd...) and he proved more durable than I'd expected, getting a lot of carries in several games.

So while Fozzy might "seem" redundant - and in fact I actually had him as just missing out on the 53 in my initial post-draft roster projection - the more I think about it, I think he could stay. 

So, we'd have Stew & CMC,  Fozzy [OR CAP] plus a FB.   Some are arguing for two FBs... but that's hard to imagine!  So, I think 4 at RB / FB is the likely total on the 53.

    • Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
    • At this point, I only care what he does in 2025.  
    • Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
