NFLTR: Panthers Cap Casualty Candidates

I don’t think it’s anyway you can cut any D linemen/edge rusher on an already weak unit, unless you have their replacement in the bag. A guy like AShawn was our best interior lineman on a piss poor unit that five mill is cheap.

Agreed.

Wonnum, Clowney, and Robinson were only impact lineman from last season. Not sure how you justify cutting them. There is no depth behind them. They should be in line for restructures. With Brown returning they should all improve.

Tuttle on the other hand provides no value. Chalk him up as another free argent bust. He needs to go.

We need to add to the line via draft since we already have enough veterans.

Yeah, they seemed to quit up front--going through the motions.  I think A. Robinson could have been impacted by poor Tuttle/Ray play as well--they def. need to go.  But saving 5.5m and losing a DE with his experience and ability is a bit stupid.  We are likely to draft a NT/DT and a DE, so rookies will need help.  I also think A Rob will be better with Brown in the rotation.

Looks like it saves 7.5 if done after June 1.

He might play significantly better with better players around him.  But I thought he was pretty awful last year regardless of the 5.5 sacks he tallied.  If they want to keep Clowney and Wonnum, I could see him as a likely target for cap relief.  I would imagine they are planning in bringing in some fresh faces on that line and not running it back.

Yeah, I think they overhaul that unit or at least attempt to. Since they didn't fire the man in charge, they're going to blame others, including players, and cut them.

Right. Shy Tuttle seems like an easy cut but we have no current replacement

    • The Raiders have already shown enough interest in Jeanty that anyone after 6 that wants him and would trade up for him, will already be calling the Jags for a trade anyways. The only thing them signaling interest in Jeanty could do if their interest was to trade back, would be to bluff the Raiders into making a swap with them to add draft assets while still drafting whoever they are actually targeting.
    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
