Meh

Surprised they did this. We went from a lack of talent and and young pieces to the exact opposite going into this year. Hopefully these rookies and free agents are ready to play

Why does this team hate Jordan Matthews so much after keeping Ian Thomas around for way too long?

For one thing, he will be 33 in July.  I think they want to go 'full youth' where possible.

I don't mind this move.  If there was a trade, we would have taken it, and that says something.

He has been on, what, 6 teams in 7 years?  There is a reason for that.

I don't remember him from anything he did on the field last year.  What I remember most is him talking a bit about Bryce seemingly as soon as he got off the plane.  I'm not saying what he said was wrong, just not the type of stuff you say when you are new to the team and have a new, young QB trying to make it here.

I wish it were different.  Always like our home grown stories, but Clowney just ain't it.  Good luck elsewhere.

Is that just nostalgia talking?  From what I read, he has been a liability lately on tape.  He has been getting benched if I recall correctly.

I'm not nostalgic towards him, I think he could play fs at this stage of his career

Love this because it eliminates any chance of rushing him back too soon, let him fully rest up and hopefully we have a diamond in the rough being added to the 2026 team.

My one question is why does this mean he'll miss the full season already though?

I thought players get put on the PUP list going into camp all the time without it officially ending their season, why is this different?

No need with Dowdle and Etienne behind Hubbard.

The Panthers should have never let him go....they chose Shaq over him which was a mistake.

We absolutely made the wrong choice there and I was one of the ones screaming that at the time. It's all about positional value.

But Bradberry was never the fastest, twitchiest guy around and he'll be 32 when next season starts. He's probably lost a couple of steps with age and I don't think he's a guy who could afford to lose a couple of steps.

That $7.7 million in cap savings will allow Dan to bring in a CB and FS 

His release also opened cap space for the rookies, including UDFAs. I hate it but it’s the nature of the beast and we have a logjam at Edge.

Hopefully we use that money to bolster the backend of the defense somehow

we are thin in a few areas.

I still think they think we are set at edge.  We still have DJ and Barno and one could go to the PS.  Edge is one of those positions, for some reason, where if you do not draft the right guy or break the bank, you gotta go with what you have.  Personally, I think our 2 draft picks will be fine.  SEC kids. Jones and Wonnum are adequate vets who are not so good they will steal playing time from the toddlers.  Three rookies (including Mwansa, who could play special teams while developing as an edge) behind 2 vets is huge, but don't forget, we had a veteran group of DTs, DEs, and LBs.  On the back end of the defense, all veterans (starting) except maybe Ransom.

      What identity is Canales trying to establish for this team?

      By strato · Posted

      He is trying to build a team that can carry a crap QB because the owner insists that we coddle the crap QB.    PS I don’t know What Tennessee was doing firing Vrabel.  I know that Dave’s (and most of the posters here) obsession with having a shiny modern offensive brain and the finesse offense that generally comes with that preclude interest in hiring Vrabel or any other defensive guy.

      Dave is sticking by Bryce

      By strato · Posted

      I feel like Canales, or anyone that had to depend on Young for success, should get a shot without him. IOW I agree we need to see that. He is green as poo. With too much on his plate, having to be QB guru play calling guru (around what might mouse can do), and the rest of the team too.  Steep learning curve.  People talk about you Young going elsewhere and succeeding should be wary of that with Canales.[edit: not saying immediately, but he can get himself another shot] We knew to get a coach we had to hire one too early. And we did. So I am more hesitant to trash his potential than I am BY9. How big or fast Canales is, doesn’t matter; we can”t go by his physique to see his ceiling like we can with a high school sized QB with bad footwork.   as far as improving….. When the OL’s continuity gets messed with, you have setbacks and it takes time to re-establish. That happened to Dalton last year I think.  Things around him were just not that good. Out of sync. It never really settled back in before he had his accident. Same thing is happening here so it might be a while before we see any improvement, especially with this guy playing QB.  Maybe at home against a team doing us favors, we can see something better.

      Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I was there in spring 2023. I just knew. Could see it in Bryce, what he is. College. And for me to see it, it needs to be obvious. I guess everyone thought his other ‘qualities’ overrode his physical deficiencies. Relative to the NFL.  With Tepper, we are down to hoping a blind squirrel finds that nut. On top of that, we have to worry he will think he can tell the nut how to be a nut.
