Captain Morgan

Sounds like Charles Johnson will be the corresponding move. Coming off suspension.

 

Trai Turner is moving through the concussion protocol and Rivera expects him to practice tomorrow.

 

RR: Trai Turner is “moving along” in the protocol. Could see him practicing tomorrow.

 

Rivera says Shepard will be back this week.

RR says Panthers won’t sign a FA WR to replace Byrd. Christian McCaffrey will take a more prominent role in return game.

 

Trai Turner is progressing in the protocol and will be practicing this week (which is a step in the protocol)

 

RR: Panthers planning to play starters entire game on Sunday.

How did Byrd stay buried on our roster this long anyway?

I thought Gettleman and Rivera were executive and coach of the year?

They let Ginn walk out the door and kept Byrd buried behind a bum we signed off the bottom of the Buccaneers roster. Just unforgivable.

Devin Funchess

Brenton Bersin

Kaelin Clay

Russell Shepard

Woof. Injuries and trades certainly played a part in this unit but that right there is why every playoff game will be an uphill battle. Teams will sell-out to stop the run, put their best corner on Funchess, and one of three WR’s who wouldn’t be on many other rosters in the NFL are going to have to play out their minds and step up. Need to address this position in free agency in a big way this off-season. That is ugly.

RR on ATL game: “We’re playing this game to win.”

 

Rivera says that they plan to play starters the entire game on Sunday in Atlanta, no matter what happens in New Orleans/Tampa Bay game.

 

Rivera says he won't pay attention to Saints' score in Week 17. "I want to win the football game (against Atlanta) and keep as much momentum going into the playoffs."

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.    
    • Sauls getting cut by Steelers if no trade happens.
    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
