Bill Voth: Panthers will not IR Williams or Amini

 think those whispers a few weeks back of Williams being destined to begin the year on injured reserve were a bit misplaced. The hope has always been that he could avoid missing at least half of the season and his rehab has been going very well.

So I don’t see Williams or Silatolu heading to IR, and while I know many of you could disagree with this assessment, my guess is the Panthers think they're OK with their depth on the line after trading for Corey Robinson.

Interesting that Voth didn't mention Matt Kalil. Could Matt go on short-term IR to free up a space? 

Wishful thinking probably. There just aren't going to be any decent starting tackles available this time of year.

Even more interesting perhaps, the strong hint that Trai Turner might be our week 1 right tackle 

 

Is Robinson expected to start at tackle for the first few weeks at least?

It's possible but “expected” may be a bit aggressive. Robinson has just a few days to learn a new system, but at least it’s somewhat easier for tackles to do something like that than it is for centers and guards.

Because so many of their linemen can play multiple positions, we may see the Panthers get creative at tackle this week. And starting Wednesday, those injury reports will tell us a lot.

Matt will probably be back before the other 2. There was never any talk of him going to IR that’s why Voth didn’t have to address it.

Rap or someone was reporting today that Matt likely not back until after the bye. Won't be ready week 1 was stated quite definitely.

Amini will probably be back for week 1 it seems. He's been day to day for awhile.

Latest reports I've heard on Daryl say 3-4 weeks, i.e. maybe after bye.

As a falcons fan, really OK with the panthers Oline situation. As a football fan, I worry about Cam's health behind this Oline, esp. learning a new offense. I can see him taking a real beating behind that Oline. I really don't want Cam hurt, NFL is more fun when he's 100%.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
