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....

... and so shall it be done

Shi Smith is on this team.  Just getting some time with the trainers.  Before practice, they are busy with players who are practicing, but after they leave the training room, they can tend to the wounded.  Well, that is my experience anyway.

Yep, no way we cut Shi.

Surprised by Bynes. Got to assume we're scouring waivers for LBs.

Hoping Tecklenburg & Spencer Brown clear and make PS. Thinking Saunders is another PS candidate. Could Miller make PS? Or is he likely to be claimed?

Second round:

Surprised by Melvin cut.

Love the Fletcher to IR move. Perfect!

Not to mention...you saw/heard how much he cares about having a specific "type" of guy.

Guys who love football...many in the NFL do not.

Certainly seeing this mentality on our D right now. They were swarming to the ball on Friday night. Love it!

Robby chomping at the bit for week 1.  Jaycee mad as heck when the 1s didn't get to play versus Colts.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
