Hunter was never looked at as a replacement for AT by anybody by fans.

No, but I do think he would have been used in a similar role of a zone buster slot that can run quick routes or option routes. That NFL experience of knowing man vs zone coverage and knowing where to sit against Cover 2 vs. 3 vs. 4 vs. 6/9

Don't think he was starting over Coker, but he would have definitely been next in line at slot had we of traded AT away.

I'm not saying I didn't want him on the team. 

 

That's a damn crowded room.

Hopefully we can find some better upgrades on waivers to replace DJ, Evans, Crumedy, and backup ILB

I think Evans sticks around as a developmental piece. He strikes me as another Tremble type...never gonna light the world on fire as a pass catcher, but will run over anyone that gets in his way as a blocker.

Both the Mitchell’s made it at TE.  Interesting.

 

also, we should sign Isaiah Simmons.  I thought I read we were interested at some point?

With how weak we are at LB and bad at ST it makes perfect sense. He's a gunner on ST and can flex all over from SS to ILB situationally. It's not like we'd need to let go of a true ILB to make it happen (unless we are looking at someone's cut or a trade).

Yeah, for all of his “lacking a natural position,” he still would probably be the best ILB on our roster, and one of the better safeties.

As long as he is a serious contributor on ST yeah it makes sense to have a guy who can be a third stringer at a few other positions. I don't know anything bout the Packers roster or why he was let go, but we are in a pretty different situation than them

Yeah, I can’t say I’ve kept up with him closely the last couple years, but I am kind of surprised because I thought he had turned a corner a couple years ago with AZ.

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
