Wow has Jerry been wielding the axe the past 24 hours! Jake, Landon, Kemo, D.Lewis. Also Pep, Brayton, Moose, and Llyod are all gone as of now. That is a poo load of our starters from last year.

If we are starting over would it surprise anyone if there was a Surprise trade for example Smitty or Deangelo? Because i just get the feeling that something huge is about to go down...Smitty, while i love the guy to death, is over 30 now, and we could sell high on this one and get a nice draft pick for him. It just seems anythings possible with what i have just witnessed..

The fun part is we have to sign guys to replace all these players..

I don't think we are releasing mediocre/overpaid starters in order to trade guys that we need to win. We aren't "starting over" like the Lions or the Chiefs would start over. We are starting over by getting rid of guys that don't contribute enough for the amount they were due to get paid (Kemo was due a huge bonus and he just came off a torn achilles). These guys were not guys that we couldn't replace with guys on the roster already or with guys in the draft/FA. Steve, Deangelo, Stew, are all staying.

However, we might be clearing some cap space to sign a couple big name RFA like Marshall. He is a first round pick tender and I could see them trading the 2011 pick to get Marshall. Charles Grant and Aaron Kampman are also still out there as UFA that we could sign as depth for the DL.

they won't legimately be replaced until after this season.....when Fox is gone. Make no sense from JR's seat to cut all this fat....and then let a lame duck coach spend money. Rejects w/ one year deals is what we will see in Carolina.

If they make a trade, I think it would be Dwill or maybe Gross or Smitty.

Problem with trading Smith is that then what does Matt Moore have? Better sign Bryant and someone else to make up for it.

Whatever happens, the possible big trade would be to get into the First Round of draft and obviously rebuilding around Matt Moore and Meeks Defense. Or just trying to save alot of money till they know what new deal with Players will look like.

The only way ANY of those guys are going anywhere is if they are just legitimately pissed about Delhomme being let go. I don't see that for Gross or Deangelo. I could see Steve being emotional about it but he'll get over it when the team is better and he is back to catching 1100-1200 yards of balls from Moore.

If Carolina will be making ANY trades today, it will be aquiring a player for a draft pick. We won't be getting rid of any high profile players. My guess (if any trades go down) we will aquire someone like Boldin or Marshall to go along with Smitty, which might explain why we are creating so much cap room.. to sign one of these guys to a big deal.

      you can't turn Teddy Bridgwater into a gunslinger just because that's what you want.   It's DNA and tools.  It's pretty simple.   You can try to make the best of what you have though.  Trying to make it work, doesn't change what Teddy naturally is.  Remember, folks argued that silly one too.  But it's the same logic here.  It's like saying, you know what Jake.....let's no longer gamble.  That's over.  We are just taking the safe checkdown.  Get it out nice and quick.  Sure, it might work here or there. But eventually he gonna see 89 in triple coverage downfield and say fug it.    round pegs are round pegs.  round holes are round holes.  we have seen people trying to force them forever......but the saying exist for a reason.  They generally are what they are.   the Luke comment was just a fun nod and trying to wrap this up friendly, I was trying to largely let you off the hook on all of your very stern lectures of the Tepper era we are in.....and how horribly wrong you have been there about what was coming.  Guess you got the goldfish thing going on with all those.  I would too.
