Could the Safety Answer already be on the roster?

At this point in the offseason I'm expecting the answer to be on the roster.  Even if we do pick someone up it will probably be for the back up spot.

Chances are we carry 4:

Starters - Reid and Gualden

Backups- Jones and ?

So who is most likely to fill that 4th spot?

Honestly, I'm hoping for someone not currently on the roster.

What I would hope for is someone not on the current roster for starting FS and Gaulden backing him up.  A two-year deal and let Gaulden be a pupil one more year.  Then have said starting FS and Gaulden fight it out in 2020 for the starting role.  Just don't give the darn thing to him like they are seemingly content on doing this season. His competition for the spot is a joke.  What would be even more of a joke is if he can't win a rigged contest.

We don't always carry 5 safeties.  Some years we do and others we carry only 4.  That said, I think we carry an extra DB that can play either corner or safety like Luke Cole.  If the team gets cold feet about Gaulden if he's not meeting their expectations in camp and have to sign a FA, then we definitely carry 5 because they won't cut him, just move him to a reserve role.

Damn what happened to Quin, I didn't even know he was on the team. 

Before the 2018 draft he was viewed as a 2nd/4th round prospect, was his combine numbers that bad?? 

I think he ran in the mid-4.6 range and was deemed just an average athlete. He put up stout numbers in college to be just a 'meh' safety though. You're correct , he should have been drafted even as a value pick in the 7th round.  The problem being he projects better to a strong safety.  That's cool because we need a backup SS, but obviously doesn't solve the Gaulden or bust mantra the staff seemingly has right now.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
