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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
