CBS sports has a list of possible veterans that could be cut on Saturday.   I saw about 7 that could be interesting for us.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/photos/2017-nfl-roster-cuts-the-biggest-name-in-danger-on-each-team/

Brook Reid DE Atlanta. - I know many think we could use more depth at DE due to our age.

Eric Winston - OT - Definitely could use depth or even start.

TJ Ward - S - Previously discussed and most would take him

Haloti Ngata DT - Would be an awesome add to a fearless DT line

Jah Reid OL - Didn't list as a tackle or guard but probably is skilled enough for both and would be great depth

Byron Maxwell CB - Once again we could use some depth at CB

Dante Jones DT - See Haloti Ngata

Thoughts?

I don't see how we wouldn't try for the offensive linemen.   We could use the depth.  You could also say the same for CB.

DE and DT would be gravy type players.  The would probably get better money elsewhere so coming to Carolina would be to win a championship.

For the right guys sure.  Winston?  Wow I didn't know he was still playing.  He was trash and washed up many moons ago, can't even fathom how bad he is now.

Ward, Winston, Maxwell, and Ngata, yes. Could use depth/true competition at these positions.

Ever stop to think that there's a reason these guys are getting released, and they may not be the same players they were a few years ago?

Doesn't seem to be the case with TJ Ward, why keep a guy around that you will lose/not pay next summer when hes a 31 year old free agent? They like what they see in their 2nd and 3rd string safeties to sacrifice some talent in an already deep secondary to get the young guys up to speed and more reps a year earlier. 

So I would be interested in Ward and maybe Maxwell, he played well last year but has looked bad once again in the preseason so I'm not sure which Maxwell you'd get.

As said before, not the case with Ward. Also, what's wrong with depth with experience? Seems that was a major issue last year with the o-line. Better safe than sorry IMO.

I really doubt anyone is going to start them willingly. But depth it could help.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
