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.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
