I really dont see how he fits.  Last year we had 4 DTs on the roster during the season,  you would have to think it will be the same this year.  Right now we have Myles Adams, Derick Brown, Woodrow Hamilton, Bruce Hector, Phil Hoskins, PJ Johnson, DaQuan Jones, Daviyon Nixon, Mike Panisiuk, Bravion Roy.  That's 10 guys going for 4 spots. Is he better than 6 of them at this point? Derick Brown, Bravion Roy, and  Daviyon Nixon are probably shoe ins, that leaves 1 spot.  Not to mention we trying to get younger.

Adams, Hamilton, and Hector been cut. I also think you missed a guy "frank Herron" whom just got cut today to sign two of the try-out players. 

I mean its Brown, Jones, Roy, and Nixon will the clear lead. Hoskins and Panisiuk for PS. But Nixon could screw up and they bring a KK/FA to fill the void. Its nice to see the FULL rebuild only take 2 years, great work panthers.

Derrick Brown and DaQuan Jones would be the starters with 2020 6th round pick Bravvion Roy and 2021 5th rounder Davyion Nixon backing them up.

It's clear signing KK would give the group excellent depth.

They only carried 3 DTs for about half the season last year. I dont know what type of front Snow wants to run. 4 is plenty, 5 is too much. Plus dont forget Fox played some DT too. Most vets want to sign before the draft, KK is seeing that now. No room with Brown, Nixon, Jones, FOx, and Roy. If two get IR'd then call KK.

Assuming he is healthy enough to play at a high level I think he can do well as a rotational player where he doesn’t get a lot of reps to wear him down. Maybe he can also bring some leadership and teach our new guys how to be better. Nixon may take some time do develop so maybe we will be a lot better with short on the team.

So do we carry 5 DTs?  If not then what do you do with Nixon?

      What Exactly Is Your Criteria for Bryce in 2024 to Have Faith In Him Moving Forward 2025+ ??

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There's really two parts to this question.   1) What does Bryce have to do to prove that he was worthy of the 1st overall pick (and the Panthers trade up to acquire said pick) and be seen as the franchise QB/face of the organization for the foreseeable future?  2) What does Bryce have to do to be a serviceable starter past this season and allow the team to be in a position of not being desperate in their next try at acquiring a franchise QB? I don't think Bryce is capable of ever living up to the expectation of the 1st overall pick and being a franchise QB.  His physical limitations will not allow him to ever be that QB.   He could, however, show enough to be a placeholder.  Not what you want out of this deal but it's better than him being released at the end of the season.  Minimum of 6-8 wins with him showing he can lead the offense (scoring around 17-24 points per game on offense) and make plays when it matters especially as the end of the season nears.  It will also show that Morgan is capable of assembling a competitive roster and Caneles is capable of installing a modern NFL offense.   Then you wait and draft/sign/trade for a franchise QB when the situation is to your best advantage.  This is how the Chiefs got Mahomes, the Eagles got Hurts, the Ravens got Jackson and the Packers got both Rodgers and Love.  Or we luck into it like the Patriots did with Brady and the 49er's did with Purdy.

      BREAKING: Panthers signing Rashad Penny

      By TD alt · Posted

      The only reason---which is a significant reason---that Penny is not miles (no pun intended) ahead of Sanders is due to health. Availability is the best ability in this case. When Penny is able to play, he has been the better back. His career averages in both running and receiving are markedly better, and Miles has arguably been playing behind a better line.

      That being said, when was the last time you saw Freddie spending more time sprawled on the ice versus keeping his feet? Playoff Freddie is not the same goalie who played exceptionally well since coming back from his medical issue. We're seeing someone other than regular season Freddie and I'm not impressed, especially the last 3-4 games.
