Scroll about halfway down and you'll see this from a guy named roque72 that almost made me tear up: 

"I know Carolina is overloaded with receivers and will have to cut some good young guys we can take"

BB and crew are watching like a hawk as always to get our players that will be cut or on waivers.

It’s true. Mose Frazier has actually looked good and god forbid we do something like cut Byrd. I can only imagine how well Byrd would do there.

Was just about to post this.  Yeah, we can't cut Byrd. He'd get signed by another team. Several teams are needy at WR.

More and more I think we start with only 2 TE in the 53 to make room for 6 WR even with extra guys on OL.

Frazier is definitely someone I could see getting picked up.

I don't even want to imagine Damiere Byrd in a Patriots jersey. God forbid we cut him, I think he would be subject to going through waivers and would be claimed well before the Pats had a chance.

Nah, we start with three HB's instead of four like last year to make room. 

Manhertz, or a someone else will be the 3rd TE. 

I see CAP as a surprise cut, move Hood to the PS as ''traditional back'' insurance (5'11, 230) and have Barner and his ability behind CMC, and CJ.

I agree with you about RBs (Barner over CAP), but I wonder if Manhertz will stay on PUP to free up roster spot early in season, then come back week 6?

Since he's had an injury, he could conceivably be an "ouch, my finger" IR designation if they wanted. Maybe even a "designated to return" if they feel he's worth that.

He's still on the PUP. It's different than IR. If he starts the season on the PUP he can be brought back in 6 weeks. In the meantime he wouldn't count against the 53 - not even on Day 1. Nor does he count against the 2 designated to return spots on the IR. I think it's a huge win for roster flexibility.

With Armah I think we can keep only 2 TE on 53 with 1 on PS.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
