Goodbye to Barno

The team signed undrafted rookie JJ Weaver from Kentucky.

The 25-year-old Weaver played six seasons in college (with injury waivers), and had 21.5 sacks. He was a three-time team captain for the Wildcats.

To make room for him on the roster, the Panthers released outside linebacker Amare Barno.

Barno, a sixth-round pick in 2022, tore his ACL late in the 2023 season and began last year on the physically unable to perform list. He had 3.0 sacks in three seasons, appearing in 29 games.

Sad to see. He seemed to have a lot of potential when he was drafted. Injuries really derailed him though.

Well, might as well keep throwing 💩 against the wall to see if it sticks. I love bottom of the roster churn. Barno had a couple of years to distinguish himself, and unfortunately he didn't really do it. He'll probably stick on somewhere though, maybe, but gotta respect Dan for keeping it moving.

Any shot he had was ended when he tore his ACL.

would not be surprised if Barno's back at the roster at some point

Dan churns the bottom of the roster a lot throughout the season

IDK. If he was a PS candidate, seems like he would have made it further into the TC/preseason. 

I think it's more likely that he just didn't factor in after all the pass rush additions.

jalen coker and demani richardson were both at one point cut from the roster and brought back and now are contributors 

my guess is that Barno isn't healthy enough at the moment after knee clean up procedure and they needed the roster spot for training camp

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
