I'd probably want to retain MJack, XWoods, Franks for ST, Hekker, Jansen if he doesn't retire, Mays or Cobett to have a center on the roster, and maybe D. Moore if we cut Thielan.

I'd like to see Tremble come back; it seems like he's developing good rapport with Bryce.  That one long pass where Bryce scrambled outside the pocket and Tremble turned upfield right in sync as Bryce let the ball go, was some beautiful mind meld improv between QB and receiver that I haven't seen in a while from this team.

But I also support Tremble to pursue what I believe to be his lifelong dream, of becoming an Olympic hurdler.  Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Tommy Tremble making an unnecessary hurdle in the open field.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen will go through his normal process of the last few years and evaluate whether he wants to continue playing. Says he’s leaning in a certain direction ‘’but I’m not going to tell you what that is.’’

He's technically under contract correct?

Thielen has one more year under contract. Now, him calling it a career early is not out of the question. He did get hurt and missed time this season, and Coker is showing signs of being that reliable target that he is now. Sure, we'll likely be better next season but we most likely aren't going to be good enough to make any meaningful playoff push, if we can even get there in the first place. Could very well come down to whether it's worth one more year and risk a more severe injury or say he's proven enough and that he believes that our young receivers can pick up the slack.

Just as a general observation, I do think Dave Canales and Dan Morgan have done a good job creating and fostering an atmosphere that players want to be part of. 

That can be important.

I sure hope they remind their agents about that.

Among the unrestricted:

Keep:

  • QB Andy Dalton - He's good for Bryce's development, and great to have as a backup
  • TE Tommy Tremble - Good locker room energy. And we will need a run blocking TE once Ian is finally gone.
  • LB Shaq Thompson - Home team discount
  • CB Mike Jackson - Was asked to do a lot. I like how he plays.
  • P Johnny Hekker - If the price is right
  • LS JJ Jansen - No one better suggest otherwise. This man is a legend!
  • S Sam Franklin - Good depth for the right price

Pound Sand:

  • C Austin Corbett
  • C Brady Christensen - He's already talking about wanting to make the move that's best for his family. Let him test the waters. I don't see commitment to the team here.
  • TE Ian Thomas - F***ing FINALLY
  • TE Feleipe Franks
  • WR David Moore - Good player, but ultimately a JAG. Replaceable.
  • RB Mike Boone
  • DE DeShawn Williams
  • OLB Cam Gill
  • CB Caleb Farley
  • S Xavier Woods - Unfortunately he's an ideal player for a bygone era. I feel like I remember more penalties against him than positive plays. And more than once I saw him wind up for a Madden 2004 "hit stick" tackle only to completely whiff. The entire safety room needs a refresh. We need guys who force fumbles, not punishers.
  • S Jordan Fuller
  • S Nick Scott
  • S Lonnie Johnson
  • K Eddy Piñeiro - Sorry, I want a kicker who's good from 55+. I saw too many games this year decided by a last-30-seconds-of-regulation drive to the opponent's 40 to set up a game-winner. Eddy is never gonna be that guy.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
