Panthers sign DT Derek Landri:

Panthers claimed DT Derek Landri off waivers from the Jaguars.

A worthwhile pickup for Carolina. At 282 pounds, Landri won't solve the Panthers' run defense woes, but he is more explosive than current backup "three technique" Nick Hayden. He's also signed cheaply through 2010.

The guy is very solid. I think the Panthers will have a lot of competition at the position next year.

When big kemo steps on the field again these guys are going to be out....plenty of trade bait in my view.

Kemo might not be back as the starter- coming into this season that was a problem b/c of lack of depth and b/c Kemo was one dimensional......now add in a possible new coach to that?

overall we have some great guys NOW at DT and should be able to make things work next year. Kemo I think will be part of a bigger rotation.

i don't know...gantt pointed out that this is the third DT we have "rescued" from a team changing form a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. we'll probably have more coming our way, actually. by the time all is said and done the DL will probably be as stacked as the OL was last year.

i wonder how many 4-3 DEs who couldn't find a place at OLB or DE in a 3-4 we are going to get in the offseason? not sure there is a huge need but if we relieve ourselves from the peppers burden that need might be there.

this makes me wonder if we are going to go with a 5 man DL with 3 DTs the rest of the season some times. that would make for an interesting pass rush.

without a viable option at WLB i would rather us go with only 2 LBs and use either 5 DBs or 5 DL and let beason and diggs/connor/anderson take care of the middle of the field.

btw...just saw from gantt that tank was put on IR as well to make room for Landri. 10th player on IR this year.

I think Jarvis Moss could be an interesting pick up from the broncos. He's stuck in the 3-4. Maybe he could find a home in the 4-3.

maybe. he's an interesting prospect. kind of an underachiever, though. borderline headcase. thought about retiring cause he didn't like having to move to a 3-4 and didn't think he fit. dude's only 25 years old and was drafted in '07. who does that?

still, might be decent in another locale and situation. he'd be cheap enough. 17th pick in the first round in '07. maybe could be had for a 6th or 7th rounder. he could even be cut. in 3 years only 19 tackles 3.5 sacks, 1 FF and 1 PD....not exactly someone you hold onto for dear life.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
