Who is safe?

What starters do you believe are safe? I still believe there is so much young talent on this team that we can be a serious contender in two years. If Luck comes out and he gets his feet wet in year one, I believe sky is the limit for this kid. Now that our season is officially over this is how I see it:

QB: Cannot go back with Clausen, this guy was terrible and I watched every single game this season. I do not see anything there with him and we need to pray Luck comes out

RB: Bring back Williams, Stewart, and Goodson. I say tag D-Will, see what we have in Goodson next year and see if he can stop fumbling and then we can part ways with DeAngelo.

FB: Fiammetta

WR: If we draft Andrew Luck then keep Smith and let LaFell, Gettis, and Edwards develop as much as possible with the new QB. I also would not be opposed to getting Randy Moss for cheap but thats a lot of headaches for a rookie QB having to deal with Smith and Moss. I like the potential of both Gettis and LaFell.

TE: I want to see what Rosario and Barnidge do under a new coaching staff.

LT: Jordan Gross

LG: Travelle Wharton

C: Ryan Kalil

RG: ?????

RT: Jeff Otah

I like Schwartz as depth but we definitly need more. Gotta also bring in a respectable RG to start.

That leaves

QB: Andrew Luck

RB: DeAngelo Williams

FB: Tony Fiammetta

WR: Steve Smith

WR: David Gettis

TE: Dante Rosario

LT: Jordan Gross

LG: Travelle Wharton

C: Ryan Kalil

RG:

RT: Jeff Otah

on offense we will be looking for a starting RG and O-line depth. Defense coming up next.

DE: Charles Johnson-bring him back posted big time sack numbers without any penetration up the middle. still very young should be a priority.

DT: we need two DTs. Sign a starter and draft one in the 3rd round. Landri could stay as depth.

DE: Greg Hardy-let him play as much as possible next year and see if he is the real deal. showed some promise and should not be stuck behind Brayton next year. I think Brayton should be cut and Brown should get one more year. Sign a veteran DE who is solid against the run.

SLB: James Anderson-more solid than Diggs. had a good year still young and won't break the bank.

MLB: Jon Beason

WLB: Thomas Davis-wants to stay here and could be brought back for cheap

CB: Chris Gamble-his absence was noticeable at the end of the year. still our number 1 corner.

SS: Charles Godfrey-cannot upgrade at every position in one offseason and I see him back for at least one more year.

FS: Sherrod Martin-do not really notice him much seems decent. would love for someone to give me their opinion on Martin because I really have not been able to form one.

CB: Please let Marshall go, have not been a fan since day one

Leaves us with

DE: Charles Johnson

DT:

DT:

DE: Greg Hardy

SLB: James Anderson

MLB: Jon Beason

WLB: Thomas Davis

CB: Chris Gamble

SS: Charles Godfrey

FS: Sherrod Martin

CB:

We need two starting DTs and tons of CB depth.

Right now the only ones safe are Otah, Gettis, Lafell, Johnson, Hardy, Beason, Gamble, Munnerlyn, and Martin. Dont know if Smith is going to be traded or not. Dont know if we're going to keep one or all between Williams, Stewart, and Goodson. None of our other OL should feel safe. Same with DTs. Im not sure if our new coach would stick with our OLBs. And I doubt the new coach wants Godfrey starting, if he is even still on the team.

With Hurney being here, most of these guys are safe. If Goodson brought me in a 2nd round pick, I would trade him. (I doubt Goodson will ever be more than a 3rd back here, and we can find another one to replace him) I would package Godfrey and Clausen, along with another player and two picks next year, in a trade deal for Asomugha. We need to have the best secondary in the league if we want to win our division.

Also, I would try and bring in Mankins, a capable DT and draft another DT, and bring in a WR. (Maybe even T.O.):D

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
