Bad move imo... ISM is/was one of the few bright spots on Offense. 

Hell we had 2 wins and dude was still running his ass off every snap.  And one of the few players that actually showed explosive ability. 

AND he's probably our biggest return threat since Tedd Ginn Jr. Sure let's create another hole.

Also makes me wonder if they're targeting Ainias Smith in the 3-4 range. 

Surely your not drafting Xavier Worthy or Keon Coleman to revamp your WR room and then placing them on punt duty.

Sorry, 3 mil is rich for Smith-Marsette. Plus, there's still a chance that we bring him back. I fully expect us to draft a couple of receivers in the draft, and possibly even a RB. Some of these day 2 guys have experience returning kicks. Keep in mind that Smith-Marsette wasn't drafted until the 5th round. Dude has been on 3 rosters so far, and that doesn't even include KC. 

I mean, the cap is massive these days. It's a couple million more than veteran minimum.

The Panthers will have to pay someone to do the job. That will either come from a draft pick, an unknown, or a free agent that for some reason actually wants to play for the worst team in the league. I expect any free agents brought in will have to be overpaid and overpromised.

Not tendering isn't necessarily saying they don't have plans to resign them.  You have to pay cap upfront for the right of first refusal.  I wouldn't look at it as "They don't want them" just not paying cap to negotiate against themselves essentially.  Would have to be some miracle level of FA period to not have ISM back imo.

Man I agree 100%! Somebody should have definitely made him more of an option during the season. Politics of the game...

Facts!!! Thielen spoke so highly of him and you could tell it was genuine. He saw in himself in him as a dude flying under the radar. I'm sure Canales spotted him while going through the tape. Our offense was so bad and he definitely  flashed more than anybody outside of Adam.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
