To make room for them on the roster, the team waived kicker Matt Ammendola, linebacker Daniel Bituli, and defensive tackle P.J. Johnson.

After learning of him this morning, I suspected Lano had a good chance. Now, if I only knew who the other kid is.

Panthers signed S Delano Hill, formerly of the Seahawks

The Seahawks drafted Hill in the third round of the 2017 draft but he didn't start his first game until the 2018 season. After four years with the team, he had recorded 64 tackles and one pass defense. Back and hip injuries landed Hill on injured reserve in each of the past two seasons, further hampering his growth as a player. He'll be a project for the Panthers, who can afford to take some high-upside shots on defense.

They added the safety and the defensive end, after they stood out at rookie minicamp as tryout players.

Don't know much about him, but i like the Delano Hill signing. We needed more depth at safety, and that's a position where some experience is worth a lot. And a guy coming from Seattle which has had some pretty legendary DBs... suggests he's learned some good habits.

I guess Slye it is. 

I'll be very surprised if we don't bring in a kicker for camp competition with Slye.

He should have competition.

Rhule was pretty adamant he wanted competition at every position, even the specialists. It would be absurd to have drafted competition for JJ and not have competition at kicker.

That said, there are more important positions to evaluate between now and camp. So for now I'm ok with just Slye, but expect that as there is future roster churn we'll bring back Ammendola or another K.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
