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.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By strato · Posted

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
