If Sercy can't finish games and Colin is his back up?? Then the excuse that Gauldin is only learning Adam's position isn't going to work..

I get it that this team doesn't care about the safety position but having Colin Jones back there with alot of playing time.. Is Malpractice..

I thought during TC Gauldin was learning both positions  back there?? If Sercy is going to be a injury prone problem.. Its time to get Gauldin back there..

Jones played a good game, was in position and got in there for a solo tackle and an assist in limited action. The guy is also a special teams captain.

Why all the hate for a second string safety on a team that performed lights out defensively and had good special teams play (except for that one extra point attempt -- not a Colin Jones play)?

I wouldn't say good.. I'd say the front 7 was able to hide him.. My point still remains.. If Sercy is going to be injury prone.. I'd rather see the rookie who has a chance to be a better player.

Maybe Gauldin can go out and get some work when we're up by 24 or so. If the game's within two TDs and we have to go to a back-up safety, I'm choosing Jones and his experience. Plus, he is nowhere near as bad as you're making him out to be. He's been a solid second stringer and role player.

Reason doesn't go far here.

The huddle knows the roster better than our coaches do.

Gaulden would be a bigger liability.  Not sure if you could make a case to change anyone’s mind. 

Galuden is way better coverage player than Jones at anytime.. So the only thing Jones has going for him is experience which can easily be negated with playing time..

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
