Yes, true about increased roster size, so I'm not holding my breath. But a protected reserve status wouldn't cost anything and would give teams more roster flexibility.

You gonna have to pay those guys like they're on the active roster or the NFLPA is going to have a big problem keeping those guys tied to a PS spot if they're being offered active roster status elsewhere. That would just be really unfair for those guys in that situation. That's why practice squads have always been pluckable.

Teams can already protect 4 players per week on the practice squad from being signed away to the active 53 man roster of other teams.

I REALLY REALLY wish that with the 17 game season the NFL had increased roster size and/or practice squad size.

Would love to see something like a protected reserve status of at least 5 guys that could be put on practice squad, but permanently protected for the season, allowing for keeping young guys who are very talented, but still raw.

I was honestly shocked that they didn't increase the active roster size.

Five takeaways from the Wofford College portion of the Panthers camp that ended Thursday: 1. QB Sam Darnold still has a lot to prove. 2. LT Cam Erving may have been "excellent'' as Matt Rhule said, but injuries are a concern. 3. First-round pick Jaycee Horn truly is an "alpha'' as GM Scott Fitterer called him and will be a difference maker. 4. DC Phil Snow has a lot of great pieces to work with & will force more turnovers this season. 5. C.J. Saunders deserves a spot in crowded WR room.

WPanthers coach Matt Rhule is leaning towards playing QB Sam Darnold in Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore. The key will be having enough healthy players to protect him. LT Cam Erving missed the second half of Thursday's practice, forcing RT Taylor Moton to slide over for key team drills. Receivers DJ Moore and Robby Anderson could be out. Moore (back) left Thursday's practice and Anderson (hamstring) didn't practice for the second straight day.

Fair point.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
