PANTHERS cut down to 80 players

Recommended Posts

Wide receiver Damion Jeanpiere, guard Tyler Marz, center Frederick Mauigoa, and running back Rodney Smith have been waived. Jeanpiere and Marz were late additions to Carolina's practice squad in 2019 and signed futures contracts to remain with the team. Mauigoa and Smith both signed as undrafted free agents following the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Panthers also waived undrafted rookie linebacker Jason Ferris with an injury designation.

With these moves, Carolina's roster stands at 80 players. This means the Panthers do not have to use a split-squad procedure and can work as one unit

Rhule maybe in the wrong game, in his last interview the plan was to remain at 90. A couple days later, here we are at 80. Doing himself no favors to the "Rhule is a LIAR!!1!1!!! reeeee" crowd.

If Rhule says a guy is looking great and he can’t wait to see him on the field, consider him cut.

This  is  probably  the  reason  for  the  cuts.

If  they  get  injuries  some  of  them  may  come  back.

Mauigoa (C) and Smith (RB) were players I watched some videos on after we signed them--I was never that excited about either.  With Mauigoa, I thought he sucked.

I think we could have something in Bowen (T, Ohio St) , Bayless (WR, Ark St), Hartsfield (CB, Miss), and Sutton (TE, Fresno St).

So he’s ready and we were just calling him the second biggest bust out

If he was ready the Panthers wouldn’t of went out and traded Turner for a LT. I mean it’s good our second rounder, backup LT passed his physical round 2 in his second year, but I wouldn’t call it great news.

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • 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.
