Waiver Wire / Free Agent Activity

Recommended Posts

As interested as I am in learning if we have any waiver requests in, I am interested to know who the team will sacrifice from the current 53-man roster.  We already know we are signing a K.

Everyone wants to mention Michael Jordan, but with 9 OL, you might want to look somewhere else. 

I would go with the following to be cut/sent to PS:

Stephen Sullivan, TE  (With Ian and Tremble with Ricci as 3rd TE/FB, a 4th TE is overkill.)

Nixon or Hoskins, DT.  (I am confident the 380-lb McCall turned enough heads to keep a NT position, so I think they will have to attempt to move a DT to the PS.)

Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, CB.  (Not sure how many you need, and STO3 is good on special teams, but with Hartsfield as a hybrid, that would leave us with 5 CBs.

NOTE: Nearly 10% (5) of the 53-man roster is from Temple.

I think they will IR Sam for a few weeks freeing up the spot for a kicker, then drop PJ and bring him to the practice squad once Sam is healthy.

I do too.  Just think we have to have a claim or two on the waiver wire, and at #6, we could get one. 

I think Sullivan is the first to go if that happens.

I could see Sean Chandler at safety being cut, he's a liability in coverage and is behind Chinn, Woods, Burris, Hartsfield, and also Franklin who has sub package LB'er ability. 

Rolling with just two TE's and an H-Back is not something I see them doing, Sullivan offers more than a depth safety at best in Chandler. 

Just my .02

Burris was cut.

Not us but do some guys not have to go through the waiver wire? Or do they already know they're not getting claimed?

 

The difference is being waived versus being released. A four year veteran can be released and can be a free agent available to sign anywhere immediately. Newer players must go through the waiver wire.

    • What a great position to be in.  We have so many WRs that can make the team.  What I love about this group is that several of them are physical beasts.  6'3" or more.   You have big WRs in the line up. Somewhere is going to be a mismatch.  I am interested in seeing what Meiga brings to the room.  A huge, long shot but like Coker he is big and just never really caught on in college.  You never know.  Maybe he shows enough to make the PS.  I am also interested in seeing what Horn does.  Hopefully, he finds some footing with this team.  I hope that with a year under his belt he steps up and really puts DM in a posiion to make a hard choice.   Moore has never really been one of my favorites but he seems to have Canales in his back pocket. 
    • And honestly, for me (while keeping it all in perspective within this context of course), a fun Sunday is when the Panthers win, a not-so-fun Sunday is when they lose. 
    • Yeah, I thought the whole purpose was based upon reputation, not betting. Pie actually serves a purpose, and now it seems like it's being watered down to meaningless. Some other form of "rep" for being able to guess and bet if that's your cup of tea alongside our traditional pie would have been better in my opinion.
