What do you think, especially after giving Greg that big ol contract with peanuts for cap space, and we also need to sign draft picks.

Should be a formalilty. I think Shepard, Bersin , and possibly Byrd will all be gone. Especially since Greg (TE) and CMC (RB) are basically WRs in our offense as well

Torrey Smith and Shep may both be axed. Byrd, when healthy, showed put last year and you don't dump a guy who showed what he showed last season. Samuel was a second round pick and was finding his way in the Dolphins game. Shep showed nothing and we likely save on cap space by cutting both Smith and Shep. 

Funchess is a bit of veteran type player now, has been to a super bowl, and could fill the leadership role for that position group. Let us not forget we still have Olsen.

I think Byrd will stick around on the PS, you know one of our WRs will get hurt for the year and we will call him up. solid depth TBH.

Greg Olsen extension was swallowed up by Richardson/draft news Thurs. Thought it was a good deal for both sides given that it was only 2 yrs. Also, saves Panthers more than $1M vs the cap this yr.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
