Goodson, Sutton, & Jackson

[Mother Grabber]

I'd like to see Goodson get another year to show what he can do, but I have a suspicion that if he doesn't have a great preseason he's likely to get cut.

We will definitely keep both Goodson and Sutton and send Jackson to the PS.

Goodson is more important than y'all realize as I think there's a very good chance Williams will be allowed to walk next year.

If yall think Williams is walking you are absolutely crazy. They all stay except Jackson who get put on the practice squad, and then probably gets stolen by a different team.

Not this year obviously.

Much as I am loathe to consider the possibility, I think that the staff is preparing for that very possibility. D-Lo took a LOT of reps in college before coming to the pros. Bringing in J Stew AND Goodson reeks of that very inevitability.

Personally, I want D-Lo to retire a Panther. In my eyes, he has a rare skillset that makes me think of Barry Sanders. You simply don't give up that kind of talent.

It will interesting to see if Jackson is put on the practice squad. On the one hand many teams don't stockpile fullbacks so they won't pick one up just because he available. On the other hand he was considered by some to be the best player of the UDFAs. Another team might very well take him and consider it a steal considering it cost them next to nothing.

Problem is that he will want a big payday and a multi year contract. He will be 28 in April and we all know running backs decline after the age of 30 for the most part. He may be exception because he hasn't been overworked still I doubt we give him a 5 year deal and someone else who really needs a running back of his caliber will likely overpay for him. Unless Richardson loosens the pocketbook a lot, it is likely that some present Panthers won't be next year.

Hope we don't just let D-Lo walk like we did with Peppers. If we can't keep him, franchise him and trade him. Get something for him.

Your reasonable post is unwanted.

DLow also got to do a lot of resting his first three years in the NFL. Last year was the first time he ever got injured. Plus he wasn't exactly a contact rusher in college, I mean he weighed about as much as AE.

Now Look at Stew, he's a physical contact rusher. He came off a turf toe injury from Oregan. Has dealt with achilles pain his entire NFL career, had some form of surgery every offseason and is currently on the Pup list.

Now take a good guess who is going to have the longer career?

Why do you think we cut all the players we did this year? Yes because of the holdout but once that is settled we will have the cap space to sign our core players.

Dwil is a team player, one of the few faces of our franchise, and a favorite among the orginization and fans.

The only way D-wil walks is if its a Peppers situation and he decides he doesn't want to play for the Panthers.

[DickolausJ]

Ofcoarse I'm not saying anything is certain. If Mike Goodson suddenly looks amazing this year then that could change some things.

[unicar15]

I say cut Goodson and keep Sutton. No need to carry two fullbacks or four tailbacks.

Except for the fact that one of our starting RBs has an achilles history and our other starting RB missed the last 3 games of the season last year with an injury.

Sutton and Goodson are MUST keeps in the backfield. Our running game is essentially our entire offense other than Steve Smith.

I agree. cut a WR to make room if we need to.

[Peppers90 NC]

there is absolutely a reason to carry two fullbacks and four tailbacks.

especially when you are a run heavy offense
