He gets cut. There aren’t many Gettleman or Hurney picks that need to be on our roster. It’s time to get rid of players that accept mediocrity. 

Thomas will get 2.2 M in the last year of his deal.  So he could be cut and the team would have no dead money. 

I think he's gone and the Panthers put that money to use somewhere else on the roster.

I thought it was funny that when Tremble was drafted they ended up spending just as much time talking about Arnold as they did Tremble. Aquib Talib was praising him which means something to me because he was a great player who could cover the best tight ends.

Pretty sure the Tremble pick, at least initially, was made to save a roster spot.  Last year we carried both Alex Armah and Chris Manhertz.  Tremble can take the place of both in this offense.

Agreed. That’s his floor on the team. Promising guy & Arnold wil be the TE1

Exactly.  Don’t underestimate this in a 17 game season.   Rhule already pointed out that the wanted to rotate more DL and have better depth in the secondary for a 17 game season. 

Saving a spot there plus now carrying 55 instead of 53 players might mean a couple other rookies make the team.

Love this post. I think he's going to surprise a lot people in this offense next year

Love that our staff recognized our limitations in the red zone/ 3rd downs last year and went out and grabbed a guy to fix that. He's our best FA pick up on offense.

I still don’t get the Tremble hype. Arnold on the other hand seems like a underrated addition to this offense. Especially when u factor in opposing defenses will be focusing on all our other weapons. I could see him being a very nice contributor this year.

And we signed him for 2 years, $6M! Not too shabby.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
