Ugh Im not the one that should do this.

Here is the deal- Top 51 counts before the season starts. Soon after the final cut and teams get ready for week one- All 16 players on PS, all players on IR, and the 53 count against the cap. Unless the rule changed..

Panthers gave Jacolby George 215,000 guaranteed. The salary for PS during the year is same number. So Panthers guaranteed him a spot on the PS for the year. *If he gets cut and claimed/signed on another, that 215,000 would be dead cap. It's sorta of loop hole, provided he remains on team. I believe the PS guarantee limit is 365,000(??) to prevent teams from signing 16 to full deals.

 

  

The bottom line is that $215k is nothing when it comes to cap impact either way.

Yea, too many, but some maybe try-out guys. I always thought its better to leave 1-2 spots open on the 90, for claims or try-out stud sign room. 

I hate this part of the NFL meat grinder, players that recently got signed are going to get cut for this growing UDFA pool.

Some of these have to be bogus.  I'm sure the agents have had contact with the Panthers, but as far as official invites, I wouldn't think it is that high.

I'd agree with that. I like this new aggressive UDFA model. It had a great start last year.

Agents or player hate to admit its for a "try-out", sounds much better to say you signed on the roster... You just signed a injury wavier......

The truth will show soon enough, watch on the official panther website about what's real.

I mean there’s a strong chance we really wanted both with the intention to only keep 1 and had intel that JHJ would get drafted while Jacolby wouldn’t. 200k is nothing and so is a 6th round pick. Either make the final roster, you did great. 

Yeah. Whoever does better at returning punts between Jacolby and Jimmy will make the roster and Trevor most likely our new kick returner.

There comes a point in the draft where honestly you're better off going undrafted at that point and having an opportunity to better chart your own course.

son of a moose!  In my mock I was taking him late.  Welcome Muhammed III  !  almost started a new thread but I'll put it here

Little "Moose," a Charlotte, N.C. native, played at Texas A&M University from 2020 to 2024. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder, over those five seasons, amassed 81 receptions for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Muhammad also served as a punt returner for the Aggies, fielding 27 total attempts for a combined 194 yards (7.2 yards per return).

I'm not sure when they have to be down to 90 but I assume 5 or 6 maybe are going to be cut before camp even gets here. I assume these invites do not count at the moment but will if they are signed.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
