I mean, sure. But with Burns and Houston, as well as Haynes behind them...I didn't want to seem greedy. Lol

Business is Business.  You cannot have enough pass rushers. It's a long season a casualties happen along they way. I would talk to him to guage his interest at least.

Just got home from work.  I see Jensen and D. Wright made it.  Two guys I thought may make the initial 53.  Erving got cut too, which I thought was a possibility.  Kinda shocked Jones got cut along with both STO and Taylor...figured one of two would stick.  Bubble guys Shi Smith, Brandon Smith and McCray all got the axe.

The biggest surprise to me is the number of TEs that were kept, especially Sullivan.  Ricci was a bubble guy, so no huge shock, but how in the heck did Sullivan make it?  Congrats to Sullivan, Lee, Ray, Thurman, Wooten, Jensen and Wright on beating the odds.

Sullivan has apparently impressed coaches - he’s always shown flashes.  Hoping he fits in nicely here.  That being said - I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s cut if we make a move later on

The term you're looking for is expendable.  There's quite a few left that fit that description. They are on borrowed time.

Agreed.  Sullivan and Wright will be the first 2 to go IMO with any new signings.  We def need another OL and DL

I'm not too worried about the oline at the moment.  My concern is the defense. And to some extent the offense skill players. But depth is a concern all over the roster.  It's about the same as it has always been, but trending in the right direction, or at least the competency of the staff whose deciding it anyway.

Eh, DL and CB.  Remember BC can play left tackle and Mayes can play RT, Corbett will return eventually too.  With Jackson's and Horn's injury history, I'd like one more corner as insurance.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      My new favorite for #19.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
