REPORT: Rosters will be cut to 80 players for training camp

So who should the Panthers cut?

[Jeremy Igo]

With no preseason there is no reason to keep 90 players. The only reason so many are kept is for preseason fodder in game 4. It is extremely easy to cut 15 players before one training camp practice.

We're currently at 89, look for the rest of the cuts to be the 20 UDFA's we signed in April

Tough year for the ones coming from the bottom.

Cut the last guy in each position group with exception to the specialists and QBs.

Impossible. The teams are probably already at 60 in their minds. We are likely one of the best spots for wildcards because we have so many holes. Problem for the UDFAs is that anyone drafted will get the benefit of the doubt because the GM/coaches have all the research they did in their minds. The draftees and the top UDFAs will get a pass so to speak over the guys padding the roster. Pretty much always been that way, but definitely much much harder to crack an active roster this year.

We keep 1-2 UDFAs each year.  So this isn't like crushing a bunch of these guys dreams outside of going through the experience of a NFL camp.  They ultimately get cut anyway.

Before Camp, or during? How will they know ability before they see them play? Just asking.

Since the corna virus thread is in tinderbox, and this is kind a football question/post I will post this here.  One position that could be effected like no other in the NFL by the corna virus is long snapper.  I don't know if I have ever hear of a team carrying 2 long snappers on a roster and usually the back up long snapper is a guy who did it in High School and maybe 5 or 6 times in college and practices it maybe 5 times a week.  If a kicker test positive on Saturday before the game you can have the punter do the kick duties and the other way around if needed.  If the long snapper test positive on Friday night or Saturday, unless you got a guy on the practice squad, you might be fugged.  I work with a guy who's son was the long snapper at NC State for 3 years.  He never got drafted and only had like 2 try outs after the draft and never got into camp.  His dad says he still practices everyday just waiting for a call.  He might better keep his phone close this season.

Anyone else having issues with the Panthers website. I wanted to check to see if they had trimmed the roster yet, but nothing comes up over at panthers.com

Nope, it popped up just fine for me.  Still at 88 players.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Currently at 89 players with P Charlton signing. Would like us to bring back Cockrell or Javien Elliott before camp starts next Tuesday
