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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
