Tough year for the ones coming from the bottom. 

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.

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.

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.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
