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.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
