As for the other 20 Panthers who are eligible to become unrestricted free agents, here is the likelihood each will be re-signed:

QB Andy Dalton: Likely. He's been instrumental in Bryce Young's growth. Their relationship is strong, and he's still capable of winning games.

C Austin Corbett: Unlikely. He wants to go to a team where he's the unquestioned starter, and Carolina has a younger, cheaper option in Cade Mays.

OL Brady Christensen: Unlikely. He was invaluable as the sixth man but has proved he can be a starter, so he'll get more money elsewhere.

TE Tommy Tremble: Likely. Second-year player Ja'Tavion Sanders is the future, but Tremble is a proven contributor.

TE Ian Thomas: Unlikely. Being the team's best blocking tight end won't be enough to keep his job.

TE Feleipe Franks: Maybe. He should be an affordable option.

WR David Moore: Likely. A low-cost veteran who's been with Canales in Seattle, Tampa Bay and Carolina.

RB Mike Boone: Unlikely. He wasn't the go-to back when Chuba Hubbard's season ended and the team needs to upgrade the depth.

DE DeShawn Williams: Unlikely. He had only 16 tackles and half a sack for a defense that ranked last in the NFL.

OLB Cam Gill: Unlikely. He could be kept for depth, but this defense will get an overhaul, particularly at OLB.

CB Michael Jackson: Likely. Carolina wants to upgrade opposite Jaycee Horn, but Jackson played well enough to get another deal.

CB Caleb Farley: Maybe. The former first-rounder showed some promise and wants to remain close to home, so he could offer depth at an affordable contract.

S Xavier Woods: Unlikely. His unnecessary roughness penalties were piling up, so don't be surprised by an upgrade here.

S Jordan Fuller: Maybe. But the Panthers have a younger player in Demani Richardson they want to get a look at.

S Nick Scott: Maybe. He knows the system but could be a casualty in the Panthers' defensive upgrades.

S Sam Franklin Jr: Likely. He is a key special teams member.

S Lonnie Johnson Jr: Unlikely. Another player who could move on as part of the defensive upgrades.

P Johnny Hekker: Maybe. He is a proven veteran but ranked 29th in yards per punt (45.7) and 17th in net yards per punt (41.5), so much will depend on price.

K Eddy Pineiro: Unlikely. Carolina didn't pay him what he wanted last year, and he ranked 22nd in field goal percentage (84.6%).

LS JJ Jansen: Likely. At 39, he's still one of the best in the business.

Why in the hell would we keep Dalton and woods?

 

Oops i read woods as likely 

I don’t see a problem bringing back Dalton. Keeping the QB room the same after the strides Bryce made is a no brainer. Dalton seems to have a positive impact on BY. Also, he’s still a capable backup. Just curious, who would you want over Dalton?

Personally I’d rather have someone a little more durable.  Plus Andy was awful last year besides the raiders game.

Dalton serves absolutely zero purpose.  Either bring in a rookie or a younger vet

This "mentor" angle is ridiculous. Bryce Young doesn't need a mentor he's a first overall pick entering his third season. Even beyond that the simple fact is Andy Dalton is simply not a good QB and he's at the tail end of his career.

You bring in a young QB or a younger vet for the same level of investment. This really isn't difficult.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
