It's an interesting point, do you think Cam asked to be cut rather than be a backup?

will be interesting to see the info all trickle out. 

it makes too much sense to have him on the roster.  Given how he looked and his cost.    I could see that.  BB did appear to actually like Cam.   If Cam asked to be cut....I could see BB honoring it if he was moving on.    That's just all tea reading and guessing though. 

I'm sure we will find something out soon though.

Jones does and will suck ass

I think Jones will do well in NE, he really came into a perfect system and situation.  He doesn't really have to air it out, just play smart and efficient and let the defense win some games for you.

I still think there was more to the whole "misunderstanding" about travel....  I bet Cam just flat out disregarded the teams rules....   

He didn't wear a tie when he re-entered the team facility after returning from his travel.

Cam actually had a decent preseason on field.  He is also cheap.    

I think if you don't want him it is simply COVID headaches or Cam not willing to be happy being a backup that got him cut.  Otherwise, even if you start Mac Jones.....keeping Cam would make sense. 

Agree 

Cam supposedly isn’t vaccinated.    He would not be happy in a backup role.  He will never be what he once was.   He is high media maintenance 

it was time for him to retire at the end of the season but it seems really hard for  pro athletes to accept that their bodies are finished 

I wish him the very best in his life and I thank him for making Sundays during NFL season exciting and the Panthers relevant.  Most of all,  for his charity work.

Forever grateful that I got to meet him.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      If you look at our depth chart, this has to be at the top of the primary needs list. Outside of a true rangy FS that balances Moehrig, I don't see any other "immediate" needs for 2026.  Beyond this year, figuring out C, OT, TE1 and WR3 and probably CB2 (are we going to pay Jaycee and Mike Jack?) are on my radar.  My list at 19 (in no order) : Freeling Thieneman McNeil-Warren McDonald Miller  Sadiq   I think CB is also low key going to be a selection earlier than anticipated...Chris Johnson on day 2 fits what we're looking for, IMO and he balled out at the combine. The salaries we just took on and BY9 coming up, I struggle to believe Mike Jack is a Panther next year.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Walker is a 1 year signing. Stone is a 1 year. BC is coming back from an Achilles injury. Typically takes 2 years to get back to full health, but he's also better inside than at tackle. Yosh retired. Moton will have 1 year remaining on his contract and he's already admitted knee issues. That's banking on a whole lot of nothing at the end of this upcoming season.  As far as challenging Bryce, a challenge can come from any round. It's about finding the right QB with the physical and mental talent that fits the system. Wilson, Dak, Purdy, Brady. Just a few examples of non 1st round QBs that were able to challenge the starters.  Another QB doesn't necessarily have to beat out Bryce, but we should be looking for another starting caliber QB. It's not like Bryce has set the bar so high it's unattainable. The bar is low. The goal is playoffs. Do we throw away a season if Bryce gets hurt, because KP is taking us nowhere. Dan has made some great signings this FA period, I give him that. But replacing Dalton with KP is not aggressively improving our QB room. It's at best a lateral move. This is all about getting better. But this is yet another move that makes it even less conspiracy theory, and more reality, that Bryce is being protected from any real adversity in our QB room.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Oh I think it will be. My point was that we need to be trying to get better in the QB room. KP doesn't do that. He's not going to be a long term plan with a 1 year contract. He's just insurance.  This "should" be a make or break year for Bryce. Either He's a guy worthy of an extension or not. Bringing in a rookie number 2 with potential may net us nothing, or it could get us something. The one thing we can be certain of is KP gets us nothing and that's not a good position to be in.  I don't want to go into next year with no number 2, Bryce not having developed I to a real QB1, and sitting at 12 or 15 needing to move up to take a QB in the draft just like we did for Bryce. It's not an outcome I see going well for us.
