According to David Newton, the Panthers have asked Shepard to take a pay cut.

 

I doubt he takes it. He sees the writing on the wall. Make less money to be a camp casualty.

C-ya. Alot of people on here thought he was another Gettleman free agent gem. Guess what he was another disappointment.

Good! I wish him all the best but I never saw the value that Ron and the coaching staff did. 

The potential was perhaps there and definitely didn't pan out last year. Who knows why but yeah, he definitely appears to be on the outside looking in at the moment.

WTF would we offer that? Why waste any WR camp snaps on him? He was awful at WR. Byrd and Samuel in a small amount of play looked way better. Throw in a Funchess, Moore, Smith and Wright and I don’t want Cam to waste a single opportunity to get more comfortable with the rest of the WRs who have a chance to play.

This was a demotion to special teams ace. He wasn't going to get many WR looks and that's probably why he declined.

The Panthers have revamped their wide receiver position throughout the offseason with several acquisitions.

On Monday the makeover continued with a departure.

Russell Shepard has asked for his release after refusing to take a pay cut, two league sources told the Observer. Shepard will become a free agent when the transaction becomes official Monday afternoon.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
