Panthers release 2 players, sign 2 veteran free agents

 I wanted a DE in the 7th round and end up picking one up in FA after the draft, all is good there.  As for the corner, this is not what I was expecting. I thought we would bring in a starting caliber prospect.  It's still early and could happen.  Cutting a corner JAG just to sign another doesn't make much sense to me.

I'm assuming since these guys are end-of-roster types, they will not count towards the top 51.  By cutting Frye and Hatfield, we saved about $1.3 million.  I would say those savings went toward the Scofield signing.

Exactly what this was about

At some point, are they considering trying TJ Green at corner? He fits a Rhule/Snow type at 6'3" lanky DB with 4.3 speed and turns 25 in May.

Dude is a bust.  He's already flamed out with 2-3 teams and I think is just 25-years old, not to mention a day 2 draft pick.  If you are drafted that high and other teams have given up on you so readily, major red flags need to be waived.

Cornerback Derrek Thomas played for Rhule at both Temple and Baylor as he transferred to join Rhule in Waco after the 2017 season. Thomas spent time with the Seahawks and Steelers last year after wrapping up his college time with 21 tackles and an interception in 2018.

The Panthers also signed defensive end DaVonte Lambert. Lambert had 14 tackles and a forced fumble in 11 games for the Buccaneers in 2016 and spent the next year on injured reserve. He was out of the NFL the last two years and spent time in the XFL with St. Louis this year

    • Nah you are just haven't watched all of the playoffs....   And im referring the playoffs were hes currently sitting at .895 % and over 3 gaa    But again gotta beat the best.   Those of you who are gonna act like chicken littles before a matchup is even decided lol
    • No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
