Seems to be the season to make your roster projection so here goes:

QB: Cam Newton / Taylor Heinicke

Fb: Alex Armah

RB: Christian McCaffrey / C.J. Anderson / Cameron Artis-Payne

WR: Devin Funchess / Jarius Wright / Torrey Smith / DJ Moore / Curtis Samuel / Damiere Byrd

TE: Greg Olsen / Ian Thomas / Chris Manhertz

OL:  Matt Kalil, / Amini Silatolu / Ryan Kalil / Trai Turner / Daryl Williams / Taylor Moton / Jeremiah Sirles / Tyler Larsen 

        Greg Van Roten / Blaine Clausell 

25 total on offense

 

DE: Mario Addison / Julius Peppers / Wes Horton / Marquis Haynes / Daeshon Hall / Bryan Cox Jr.

DT: Kawann Short / Dontari Poe / Kyle Love / Vernon Butler

LB: Luke Kuechly / Shaq Thompson / David Mayo / Jermaine Carter / Ben Jacobs / Jared Norris

CB: James Bradberry / Donte Jackson / Captain Munnerlyn / Kevon Seymour / Corn Elder

SS: Da'Norris Searcy / Mike Adams / Colin Jones / Rashaan Gaulden

25 on defense

 

PK: Graham Gano

P: Michael Palardy

LS:  J.J. Jansen

3 on special teams

Bolded players are my best guess at game 1 inactives.

For the longest time I was convinced Byrd wouldn't make the team but now i'm thinking he might be our return guy.  I've got 6 DEs which is more than normal I think.  Bryan Cox Jr. seems to have earned a spot and not sure if they are ready to give up on Hall yet.

I went back and forth between a 6th LB, 6 CB, 11th OL, or 4th RB.

Wow,  you're optimistic about the Oline.  Matt, Amini and Sirles all back for week 1 would be surprising. But good if true.

I think we keep Barner over CAP.

And I still think Manhertz could start on the PUP since they haven't activated him. They may need his roster spot for extra OL depth.

Interesting that Clausell is not active with Kalil and Sirles injured. That's a bold move. I think I'd sit CAP in this situation and activate Clausell. On D, I want Haynes over Cox JR. With Dallas' o-line woes, a speed rusher could be useful against second and third string tackles.

This is a hard prediction because of OL injuries. If we only carry 10 OL (this includes carrying Williams for 24 hours so he can go on "IR to Return" list) then we only have 2 healthy backups week 1 due to Sirles and Kalil injuries. So it's like we have to carry 11 (at least for just 24 hours after cuts) just to have bodies for the line. This is what mine looks like after the initial cut down: 

 

OFFENSE:
WR1: Devin Funchess - #Jarius Wright# - Damiere Byrd 
LT: Matt Kalil - Blaine Clausell
LG: Greg Van Roten - (Brendan Mahon)

WLB: Thomas Davis - *Jermaine Carter Jr.*
LCB: James Bradberry - Captain Munnerlyn - Corn Elder
RCB: *Donte Jackson* - #Lorenzo Doss# 
SS: Mike Adams - Colin Jones 
FS: #Da'Norris Searcy# - *Rashaan Gaulden* 

SPECIAL TEAMS: 
K/KO: Graham Gano

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      Its really wild to watch this part of the community boil down the success of the 2025 Panthers to whether or not BY9 busts or breaks out. Ill take middle of the road mistake free game manager that distributes the ball and orchestrates the offense.  If we can get that with a D that doesnt put us in a 27 point+ hole every week the team can improve. Id love a deep post season run but honestly at this point Id be ecstatic about feeling like we could win every week.   Jake is never going to get a yellow jacket but damn if he didnt make watching the team fun.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.
