Not many.

I say 5 or 6. Cannon, Smith or Bonnafon is gonna get cut with us drafting Hubbard.

2 of Walker, Stevens, Grier will likely make it. Probably will pick up another camp arm soon.

CB will be interesting. Thomas-Oliver or Melvin likely odd man out.

best chance to make the team is through linebacker or guard.

I think Thomas could be out at TE.  The RBs you mentioned as well.  Agree on LB and would add safety

We were 5-11 this year. Shouldn't be a whole lot set in stone. 

Especially on defense...almost all of those spots should be up for grabs. 1DT spot, 1S spot, and 1DE spot is all that should be set...I don't exactly love our LBs may be the worse we will ever be two years in a row.

Offense most of that actually is set with a few OL spots open the rest was for depth.(hence all the defense being drafted)

If the secondary moves work out and DL moves work out, it could disguise the obvious weaknesses at LB. Also consider that in the very unlikely event that Perryman is healthy, we could suddenly get a LOT better at LB. I wouldn't bank on that being the case but eventually perhaps we will hit on one of these "oft injured" guys.

OL should be one of the most interesting positions. Outside Moton and Paradis, literally every other spot should be up for grabs between our FA signings and draft picks. 

The #3 and #4 WR spots will be an underrated battle too, IMO. Some interesting options we drafted mixed with some veteran returnees. Of course, we will all be comparing those guys to what Samuel does next season. That adds a lot of intrigue. Plus Anderson and Moore are coming up on deals, so that adds an additional element.

Well Long snapper is going to see a new face. JJ is 35 I think? I just hope they don't pull the Hurney move and keep TWO long snappers on the roster. 

Nah that pick was actually really well thought out. Ironically I am really behind it. I’m the 6th round you get a guy that could contribute for the next decade or longer and save us a lot of cap space by moving on. That was quietly a masterful pick.

I agree. Not mad at the pick. Sucks for JJ tho. HIs only fault is his age.

I look for the following possible veteran cuts probable to make the roster before the draft:

1. Stantly Thomas-Oliver III CB

2. Ian Thomas TE

3.  Rashaan Melvin CB

4. Christian Miller OLB

5. Austin Larkin DE

6. Dennis Daley OL (unless he can find health)

7.Trenton Cannon  RB

8.  Rodney Smith RB

9.  Colin Thompson TE

10.  Brandon Zylstra WR

11. Greg Little OT

12. JJ Jansen (that one hurts) LS

13.  Joey Slye K

 

So it is hard to say--we added 11 picks (I think 10 make the roster), and 11 free agents that will stick in my opinion, and I think 1 undrafted free agent makes this roster (Moore). So that is 22 new faces, leaving 9 not listed above on the bubble, but I think the roster limit increases in 2021.  Remember, you will have a player or two on IR, so this should cover it WORST CASE SCENARIO.

They are:

Frankie Luvu LB

Marquis Haynes Edge

Troy Pride CB

Kenny Robinson S

Stephen Sullivan TE

Yall should try this--it is hard.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
