Damione Lewis Cut!

Lewis had every chance to prove himself as a pass rushing DT. He had the advantage of playing with Peppers, and a talented backfield. He failed to produce enough sacks and QB pressure to seperate himself from other cheaper DTs. It happens.

So if Brayton goes elsewhere & Kemo is cut the entire starting DL from '08 (and '09 before Kemo's injury) is likely gone.

I fully expect Kemo to be cut as well, he'll end up making a little over 4 million with his bonus and original base salary. We might resign him if he proves to be healthy though.

Panthers released DT Damione Lewis.

The Panthers inserted a $9.3 million option bonus into Lewis' 2010 pay last offseason, so he likely knew this was coming. While Lewis isn't a difference maker, the team will likely try to re-sign him. Defensive line, just head of No. 2 receiver, is Carolina's weakest position on either side of the ball.

I'd like you and everyone else to know that Kemo and Lewis are both due 9.3 million dollar team option bonuses in March.

If I were a betting man, I would bet that they would both be cut.

It only makes sense, remember when we were stockpiling young DTs through trades and waivers at the beginning of the season? Do you think that was because we were planning on tying up almost 19 million into average DTs.

I like both players, but neither are worth that much money.

The only way they stay is if they sign an extension (restructure deal).

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