Don't forget Christenson is already 24... he should be pretty much ready.

True.  He just needs to acclimate to the NFL.  Hopefully he'll be in on more than the 6% of snaps that Moton did his rookie year.

Stupid decision. TE3 getting 15th highest cap on the entire team? So dumb. How many drops a day does he need to have to finally be done with him. We aren’t resigning him next year so why spend $2.2M when all of it is able to be saved because it’s salary. Only a tiny bit of signing bonus (under $200k) left. 

Called for this cut once we signed Arnold to a nice deal and drafted Tremble on day 2.  Thomas is overpaid for a backup TE.  

Footnote: I also said he wouldn't amount to much either.

I don't think cut, but he probably won't be starting. 

If he ain’t starting no reason not to cut his ass u gain another 2 mil in cap space. You have Arnold and Tremble is going to have to see the field with his tremendous blocking. Ian Thomas will not make this team.

20 receptions as TE1 for a QB who didn’t like to go downfield is awful. We sign a new TE1 and draft a 3rd round TE. He’s not even close to worth the cap hit. We’ve seen what seems like reported drops every practice and his miss led directly to an INT today. I roll with Arnold and Tremble and see what is available after cuts.

I agree.  I just don't trust Thomas on 3rd down anymore.

I go back years wanting us to upgrade the TE position, ever since Olsen's FIRST foot injury.  This year wasn't the deepest or most top heavy draft for TEs, but at least we got one.  I was heavily on the Dallas Goedert bandwagon.  What was that, like 4 years ago?

Yes by looking at Chinn and others who were drafted and started last year

That was out of neccessity tho.  ATM BC is taking reps behind Moton.  Indications are, at this point, he's a backup.  You think that will change?

We only save $502K if we cut him. Might as well let it play out with him as depth.

FWIW, Arnold is on the books for 2022 as well, so it would be a clean break after this season.

 

EDIT: I am reading this correctly, right?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
