Are we letting Moose Walk

unrestricted. here are a couple more:

Barring last-minute deals, wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad, defensive end Tyler Brayton, defensive tackle Hollis Thomas, guard Keydrick Vincent, quarterbacks Josh McCown and A.J. Feeley, cornerback Dante Wesley, safety Quinton Teal, kicker Rhys Lloyd and tackle Rob Petitti will also hit the market at midnight. The Panthers will not receive any draft pick compensation this year for losing those players, although they may get a supplemental pick (possibly as high as a third rounder) next year for Peppers.

i talked to him last week, and mentioned i hoped he would be back in uniform this season for the panthers. he didnt really say much, other than he was hoping so as well.

we'll see what happens, i think he is the safety valve for the FO in case something doesnt work out in the offseason. Moose is a great guy in the locker room and community, so lets hope he is around in come capacity to groom the younger players.

This is a mistake.

Moose isn't the greatest No. 2 receiver, but he's about all you can ask for in a No. 3 -- especially on a run-first team such as ours. I'd also like to keep him around to mentor whomever we pick up in the draft.

If Moose goes, we're going to have to pick up two receivers. I wonder if letting Moose walk means we'll snag someone like Boldin in free agency?

i hope they do sign back some of these guys. moose isn't as much a priority as brayton, thomas, and vincent but still...until we have a better idea of what is going to be there i would like to have him around.

they will probably wait a good while to do anything with any of these guys. have to see how the start of FA goes and maybe the draft.

wesley is a good defensive weapon to have around. i'd like him to stay as well.

The only person on that list that would be a priority to re-sign would be Brayton.

Thomas was a stop gap and we are back-loaded with young talent at DT because of all of the trades and aquisitions last year.

Vincent has injury concerns and with Bernadue, Schwartz, and Robinson on the roster his replacement is on the team.

Loyd is not a priority since most teams are not looking for a kickoff specialist. Especially one that has never proven he can kick FG's.

Wesley might have written his own fate with "The Hit" last year. Whether he meant it or not poo like that will get your ass blackballed. Teal is a scrub.

HOpe they get it done with Brayton, tough to replace both starting DEs in one year.

Also hope a deal is done with Wesley, and Teal; if they walk and someone takes a 2nd round stab at Marshall, our already sucky special teams gets a hundred times worse.

I agree on Brayton. He is definitely worth keeping and he really wants to be here. I can't believe they will let him walk especially with Peppers leaving. I would expect someone to pick him up.

As for Moose really it is a numbers game. If we keep Smitty, Moose, and Jarrett we already have Goodson who is a hybrid runner/ slot receiver. We have other guys like Moore, Martin and Jackson who would all be working for a slot. Now if we pick up a free agent or one of two guys in the draft, something is going to have to give. That could be 10 guys for 5 or 6 slots at the most. I expect Moose is one of those we will let go because he has no long term upside.

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
