There are currently 12 wide receivers on the roster. The Panthers will likely keep 6. 

 

IMO, There are only three locks. 

DJ Moore

Robby Anderson

Terrace Marshall

 

That Leaves 9 guys fighting for 3 spots. 

Omar Bayless

Ventell Bryant

Ishmael Hyman

Keith Kirkwood

Marken Michel

David Moore

Micah Simon

Shi Smith

Brandon Zylstra

 

I believe the Panthers are big on Zylstra but I am not ready to call him a lock. Also, Shi Smith likely has a leg up on the rest.

Whoever is willing and able to return kicks and/or punts will be there. Which one of those guys is brave enough?

I think willingness to play special teams is going to be a huge deal for making the team with Rhule. He wants football guys who are hungry, aren't divas and are willing to buy in. He wants guys who give more than just a warm body in the receivers room and a choice seat by the Gatorade table.

And I'm not sure we even keep 6. We may go in with five receivers considering how many linemen we have to rotate on offense and defense.

Could be. I am not sure a Joe Brady offense can tolerate less than 6 though.

I think David Moore is a near lock, and Shi Smith not too far behind.

I think the final spot comes down to Brandon Zlystra vs. Keith Kirwood unless one of these other guy balls out so much in TC they can't deny them.

I know Brady likes Kirkwood from the Saints days, but I think Zylstra is more versatile and a good ST player,, and thus a better use of a roster spot.

Add Shi Smith because he is too talented to let go.

Add David Moore because he has NFL experience.

Add Omar Bayless because he flashed last camp, and is likely better and is younger than Zylstra.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
