So:

1. McMillan

2. Coker

3. Legette

4. Tremayne

5. Metchie

6. Horn

7. Moore

8. Likely draft pick (depending what round)

Yeah Legette is gone. Dan isn’t parting with Tremayne, too good of blocker, and Canales isn’t parting with Moore.

Metchie won’t make the final roster tbh.

Metchie had a great year when Bryce won the heisman.  He gives the Panthers some deep options.  He does not have to catch passes if he can keep the safeties honest, but I expect him to post his highest numbers here.  I imagine he is signing for vet min, and probably was coerced by Bryce.  

I have not given up on XL like some here, but I am frustrated and pissed off about his play.  

I now doubt we draft a WR, but there are so many uncertainties (Coker's health, XL's play, Metchie, etc). 

XL needs to spend a couple weeks with BY and learn each other. I think XL will do what's right this off-season, cause its fork in panther career time....

I feel like XL is square peg round hole with Bryce.  I feel like he could thrive with a QB who pushes the ball down field and can throw a slant

And yet, the Jets didn't even tender him a RFA offer.  

Yet another reason I don't love this, if the Jets don't think he's good enough to keep around given their WR needs, then why do we think he is?

RFA tender? Didn’t he get traded on his rookie contract? That wasn’t an option, right?

Competition in a WR room with only 2 viable starters (imo).  Maybe he makes the team better.  Maybe hes not here in September.  I dont know.

This seems like the appropriate response to this signing.

On the team site he's the only player under the "Reserve/Non football injury list"? Did I miss something?

I am putting Horn over Metchie, who hasn’t done squat in 3 seasons except bounce around. 

Horn ain't done squat to be honest. Metchie seems like the better all-around prospect. If nothing else, he should be able to move the chains whenever he's in.
