Why Haven't The Panthers Cut Cam Yet?

Because they don't have to, and are holding out hope for getting something in return.

Also, they may have to work through an injury settlement, and let's just say that Cam and the Panthers brass are probably not on the very best of speaking terms right now.

Because Teddy hasn't been able to do a physical yet and he has a knee that's been through the equivalent of a car getting wrapped around a telephone pole then plummeting off a cliff before bursting into flames.

If Bridgewater were to fail his physical (which, for the record, is highly unlikely) yikes!

Wow you might be the worst so called Panthers fan on this forum. You need to be banned, don't know why people picked you to be a mod. Maybe one day, but until then damn.

What I said is accurate. Teddy had the most severe knee injury possible. That's accurate. We're not signing him to a contract before he passes a physical. That's accurate. Sorry you got all up in your feels, again.

And Cam is out because of giving him a new contract after injury isn't financially prudent. Then they get a guy, with all due respect, with a very horrific injury history and give him more $. Dumb. Spiteful. Petty.

OP,

Why would we cut Cam now when there is still a chance a team could trade for him?

You hold him to the last day possible. 

That effectively screws him out of a chance to get a starting job elsewhere, though. And all indications are that nobody's trading for him. Heck, the Bears were so unsure of his health status they decided Nick Foles would be a better option.

Latest word is that the team will cut him as soon as Bridgewater is official, but things are so complicated now no one knows when that will be.

They could decide to just go ahead and let him go anytime, though.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
