Already a few names that have my interest form other teams- 

TE Ben Braunecker

LB Jonas Griffith

LB Brady Sheldon

LB Tre Crawford

DT Ryan Glasgow

LB Todd Davis

TE Jordan Leggett

WR Hakeem Butler

OL Cody Wichmann

DE Joe Jackson

TE Michael Roberts

RB John Kelly

DB Adonis Alexander

 

I see the panthers making about 3 waiver claims.

What is the story with DE Joe Jackson?  I thought he was a steal in the fifth round---must have been a huge disappointment.  6-4, 275.  He ran under a 4.9 at the combine--but his other measurables were not impressive...

I wonder if the Cowboys are going to run primarily a 3-4 and the news of Gregory returning could have led to this?  Speculation on both fronts.  Just not sure what McCarthy is doing.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix & Muhammad Sanu are a couple of big surprise names.

I don’t think we have room at receiver but Clinton-Dix maybe??

I get the point made here--I read a Dallas site and he was predicted to be the "surprise" cut this year.  Good call.  However, here, at least on paper, I really like where we are at S.  Boston?  Not that much, but maybe as a leader he will step up.  Chinn, Burris, and Robinson--I am really hoping for that to develop.  I hope that we do not bring in someone who will steal time from these 3 new players--but I have not been at practice--so we could be open to it.

Blowboys just had Gregory reinstated, plus they added Aldon Smith and Griffen in FA. No room for a young pup. I like Jackson coming out and thought he was a worth 5th rounder, Dallas scooped him the 5th. I believe @LinvilleGorge liked him too. Part of my list focused on teams that were deep at spots ie dallas at DE, bears at TE, and 49ers at LB. By the end of cuts, you could make a competitive team form them. All except QB have some talents, both young and old with real game exp. I hope Marty acts accordingly...

Yep, I liked him coming out of Miami but his pre-draft workouts were a bit concerning. He definitely tested significantly less athletic than I thought he would. Pre-workouts I thought he was a 4-3 DE. Post-workouts, I thought he was a 3-4 DE. I still wanted him in the 5th last year since after drafting Burns and Miller it sure looked like we were eyeing a full on switch to a 3-4 that never materialized.

I expect a few FA to sign after week one. If the NFL hasnt changed the rule- if a you had a veteran(at least 4yrs) on your roster week one, his salary was guaranteed for the whole year. Making the team week one will not mean much to the players in the 45-53 range.

Jackson was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (165th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

I doubt he clears waivers, but if he does, I might find a PS spot for him.  If we claim him, I just do not know enough about him to know whose spot he'd take--Weatherly, YGM, Obada?  We also have jalen Jelks on the roster---I just do not know how good they are doing now--flying blind but still shelling out the wisdom, I am .

Yup he was picked in fifth round, funny Jalen Jelks came for Dallas waving him(he was picked the 7th). Again the blowboys have too many DEs- Lawerance, Griffen, Smith, and Gregory. Shows you its not smart to draft and sign a bunch of FAs at the same time.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
