How I see this going down...

*Fletch in Fitt's office with his agent on speakerphone*

Fitt: Listen, you lost the LS battle. We're rolling with JJ.

Fletch: So I'm cut?

Fitt: Well, there may be another option...

Agent:

Fletch: What's that?

Fitt: Well, we want you here long-term. If you want, we can release you and if you clear waivers we'll put you on the practice squad where you'll make substantially less money than your current contract dictates. You'll go into next season with the job as yours to lose. Or, we can put you on IR where you'll be guaranteed your full pay per your contract. There's only 31 other possible spots out there for you and you're risking hundreds of thousands of dollars betting on being claimed. What do you want to do?

Fletch: But I'm not injured...

Agent: I'd recommend you start limping.

Fletch: *light bulb flickering on* Ah... yeah, IR sounds good.

clutter.  Lets remain true to the thread title.

Here is what we know: 

  • I doubt we keep 2 LS.  Fletcher to be waived, try to put on PS if there is no trade.
  • We are probably not keeping 5 TEs.  1 or 2 will be cut (Tremble, Arnold are safe--Ricci, Thompson, and/or Thomas will be gone--I am guessing SF is trying to trade Thomas)
  • I am guessing 6 Safeties will not be on the roster (not sure if I count Hartsfield as a S though)  Chandler, Franklin, Chinn, Burris, Robinson--one or two will be gone.  I am guessing SF is trying to trade someone, but I doubt that happens.  My guess?  We end up with Chinn, Burris, Harsfield, Franklin.  Chandler and Robinson to PS if eligible.
  • We will keep 3-4 RBs (one being Cannon, a WR/RB hybrid and ST ace)  Rodney Smith and Bonnefon fighting for what might be no position, but I say Smith is cut)

So my cut list by 4pm:

  • Chandler
  • Robinson
  • Thompson
  • Fletcher
  • Rodney Smith
  • Phil Hoskins ( to PS--We are not keeping 5 DTs (Brown, Jones, Roy, Nixon)

And so it was written....

Update from Gantt...

They released veteran cornerback Rashaan Melvin as part of the moves. That will leave them young in the secondary for the first two weeks of the season.

The Panthers also waived safety Kenny Robinson, waived/injured running back Reggie Bonnafon and placed rookie long snapper Thomas Fletcher on season-ending injured reserve.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      By frankw · Posted

      His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.

      I don't hate it but.....  eeeh it would take acquiring Kaprizov without giving up svech to make rod try Jarvis at 2C. Svechnikov/Aho/Kaprizov  Ehlers/Jarvis/Stankoven

      Carolina’s interested in Kaprizov

      By PantherChris · Posted

      Given the fact he declined buku bucks over on the HOF hockey board most don't think they will even get svech..... (not even canes fans) The $$$$ tag plus lack of leverage for Minny could end up seeing him dealt for somthing around what we got for Ranttanen....
