There is one game left on the season, we have 2 wins, and we've locked up the first round pick. Normally I wouldn't look too far ahead, but I am. Its almost time to start looking at the team and finding out who is expendable, and who we can build the team around. I'll highlight a few expendables in bold.

QBs:

Jimmy Clausen (debatable, but does anyone think hes getting cut??..no)

Keith Null- out

BSP - out

RBs

Johnathan Stewart- safe

Mike Goodson- safe

Tyrell Sutton- out

FB
:

Tony Fiametta

Rashawn Jackson-
out

Receivers:

Steve Smith (possible trade...)

David Gettis- safe

Brandon LaFell- safe

David Clowney- out

Armanti Edwards (see Jimmy Clausen)

TEs
:

Jeff King-
out
(ill take heat for this)

Dante Rosario-
out
(hes althetic, but I can see it happening w/ a new coach)

Gary Barnidge (my favorite, but I could see him)

Tackles:

Jordan Gross (see Clausen and Edwards, although I dont think hes expendable)

Rob Petti- out

Geoff Schwartz (id keep him around)

Gary Williams (not sure)

(id consider everyone but Gross expendable, when i sit back and look at it.)

Guards:

CJ Davis- out

Mackenzy Bernadeau (hes expendable, but id consider keeping him for depth)

Centers:

Ryan Kahlil (extend this guy!)

Chris Morris (who?)- out

DBs:

Cornerbacks

Chris Gamble (see Clausen, Edwards, and Gross)

Richard Marshall (if his asking price lowers, keep him, otherwise---
out
)

Captain Munnerlyn

Robert McClain-
out
(Im thinking as our new head coach w/ last 3)

RJ Standford-
out

CJ Wilson-
out

Safeties

Charles Godfrey (see Clausen, Edwards, and Gross)

Sherrod Martin- safe

Gerald Alexander (see Chris Morris)

Jordan Pugh (id keep him)

[THE]Marcus Hudson-
out

Linebackers:

James Anderson (see Ryan Khalil)

Jon Beason (see Khalil and James Anderson)

Nic Harris-out

Abdul Hodge- out

Jordan Seen (mostly likely out, but id stash him on the practice squad later)

Defensive Tackle:

Nick Hayden (Of course he's expendable, but if he hasn't been booted by now...)

Corey Irvin-out (is he even still on the team??)

Ed Johnson- out

Derek Landri (id keep him)

Andre Neblett (idk...probably out)

Defensive Ends:

Eric Norwood- safe

Tyler Brayton- safe (but you never know...)

Greg Hardy- safe (hes going to get PAID in a few years)

Charles Johsonson- (see Khalil, Beason, and James Anderson)

Kickers:

Rhys Lloyd- If He can't kick field goals hes useless imo, Kasay can only kick so far...

Kasay- safe by default

Injured Reserve:

Everette Brown (DE)- (see Clausen, Edwards, Gross, Gamble, and Godfrey)

Dan Connor (LB)- safe

Charly Martin (WR)- out

Matt Moore (QB)- out

Jeff Otah (RT)- safe (I don't want to hear it)

Tony Pike (QB)- out (It won't happen though)

Duke Robinson (RG)- out (he'll get another shot somewhere)

Hilee Taylor (DE)- out (does anyone remember this guy)

Travelle Wharton (LG)- safe

DeAngelo Williams (RB)- (see Khalil, Beason, James Anderson, and Charles Johnson)

Jamar Williams (LB)- out (I think...)

Jason Williams (LB)- out (who?)

Wallace Wright (WR)- out

Note: I started this early this morning and had to email it to myself (wasn't home), to transfer and finish, so If I screwed up, let me know, and tell me what YOU would do.

new coach could easily be the end of Kasay's career.....either Kasay choosing to call it career himself or the coach giving him no choice. I don't see the next coach continuing the "kickoff specialist" tradition we recently have gone to. New kicker next season.

only ommission seems to be Thomas Davis from your list.

pretty spot on, The kicking situation will be adressed in the offseason with a new regime. We will either have Kasay or we won't.

it is obvious we are gonna have to bring in some journeymen and frankenstein an OL, which is actually good since it obviously worked for us before and won't be as big of a hit in terms of salaries.

The one thing I would do though is keep our LB core as intact as possible so that would mean keeping williams. We have great depth there imo and either additions from the draft or FA will lock it in.

I agree, our LBs are a good core. We have some good starters in Davis, Beason, Anderson. Conner is an above average backup for beason. Although Jason Williams didn't play alot this year, the couple of games he was in there he made some big plays and is worth locking up for a few years. Others like Williams, and Harris will provide us with additional depth and special teams.

Our special teams has been pretty good this year and I would think keeping most of those guys together would be a good idea.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
