7. DeAngelo Williams, Panthers: Wow, do I wish that we all could see Williams in Green Bay this year. Instead, he is in an absolutely dismal situation on one of the worst offenses in the league. Since Williams should be a free agent after this season, next year I might just get my wish. I bet he wouldn’t complain either.

The only other RB in the NFC South on the list is Michael Turner at #8

I'm not so sure of that. I don't know that Williams wants to move on. He has been getting the majority of carries lately by far. I think they are trying to show him they know he is the man, and I think he respects that.

I also don't think the players themselves are going to be so upset over this season they don't resign. I think they all understand that he's preparing for a lockout and aren't happy, but it's not as if JR is out there with holding calls bringing back plays, false starts, having trouble getting the plays in, etc...

Ehh, we'll see. I bet he comes back, but I am a huge optimist. :P

I think we as fans give too much credit to guys being loyal. Most athletes care about two things, money and winning championships, and one of those could be along ways away here in Carolina so why not go somewhere, GB NE etc, where they are much closer to the ultimate goal.

Granted, D Will seems to be a different kind of dude. He seems to love it here in Carolina and is great with the fans and the community by all accounts and hopefully they can convince him we will be winning in the near future.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
