I'm convinced, this team is trying to prove a point by being cheap and no money will be spent. Unless a miracle falls in our lap, don't look for anything to happen.

I just feel sorry for Steve Smith. His days are numbered and he doesn't deserve to be a part of this project.

it would have to be some kind of return specialist or karl hankton type to fill the role that wallace wright was supposed to fill.

anyone thinking that we are going to find some legit receiver who gets cut by another team is in need of some serious anti-psychotic meds. if they are really worth keeping, they wouldn't be hitting the market at this point.

now a returner or a STer might fall though the cracks at this point but i wouldn't count on it. when the next big wave of cuts come, it might be a different story. still i wouldn't count on finding anyone who would serve as a solid #2 WR or even someone all that much better than what we have already.

When teams drop to 53 man rosters we will see some guys on the market.Could dropping 3 WRs today be an omen?

Na..... JR is too cheap

cheap has nothing to do with it right now. plus, we'd have to cut someone else off the roster, though that shouldn't be a problem.

I think if we bring someone in, it'lll likely mean Jarrett will be gone. However I think they'll keep tight with the 6 they have know barring a complete fail of epic proportions by Lafell or Jarrett on Thursday.

You know how they say they rest the starters on the last game of presesason? Is there really any wr in our roster not named steve smith that will sit the game after the 1st drive? I can't see a reason why they would...

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
