Sooooo.., which RB is getting cut?

[Jeremy Igo]

Can't imagine keeping this many running backs. Something is up .

[jbland]

My guess is Holyfield, though I would like to see him on the PS.

Holyfield. The depth chart has Bonnafon as RB2 and I don't think they will cut Scarlett. 

[Raskle]

Pretty obvious who would go here, if they decide to cut one. The more important and better question is, which position do you think Holyfield would possibly be cut for, that would need an upgrade to what we have already?

[GoPanthers123]

Wasn’t the plan to have CMC type backs that would also have plenty of receiving yards?  I’m guessing we are not getting another WR but rather keeping these backs to fulfill receiving roles.

Might just be cut day trickery. Swap out Holyfield for Godwin once the dust settles.

Imagine if Marty and company got the idea to try Bonnafon in a Joe Webb type role, and we don't cut a RB but rather Kyle Allen

I kid.... Probably Holyfield after a few days so they can try steaking him onto the PS.

I can see that, or they may just stand pat. Curious though, if other folks think we may go a different direction, such as DT, OG, QB, S, or somewhere else as well, now that cuts have happened. There's a valid argument that we could also upgrade on those backup spots (or starter for LG) as well, should someone worth a damn be available. It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

The 4th RB doesn't bother nearly as bad as the 10th LB, specifically the 5th ILB Jordan Kunaszyk.  What's up with that?  So we carry more LBs than OL now?

That was my immediate thought as soon as it happened

I’m not sure which RB is out, but I think Obada is in trouble. He’s currently listed as one of our 5 d lineman. He has a great story, and played well at times, but he isn’t a 3/4 DE, he’s just not big enough. I can’t imagine we are done there either. One injury, and we are shockingly thin.

If you're Holyfeild, do you think it's fair to PS you when some other team might actually sign you? And what's to stop that team from grabbing him then?

[Knockout]

You can't cut any of the running backs.  Holyfield is our short yardage RB/ goal line.  Scarlett is really the RB who is redundant, but he's shown enough flashes to be kept around.

Obada put on some weight this year and is rumored to be around 280lbs.  At 6-5 280 he can play 3-4 DE.  I thought he looked good this spring.
