No Roster

[Mr. Scot]

When you go to the Panthers site now, there is no longer a player roster.

There is a link to a depth chart, but it's empty.

Important? Not especially, but a sad indicator of the situation :(

duh, its probably illegal to represent them as an entity of the team now

:sad:

To hell with the NFLPA. Man I hope there is a sensible Judge in Minnesota who will get this crap resolved correctly.

I'm just glad Clausen isn't listed as our starter anymore

I checked. Other team sites - and NFL.com - still have rosters up.

Didn't check everywhere mind you. Highly possible someone else has them down as well. Heck, it's possible the team is just restructuring the site.

I don't think so, though. I think it's deliberate (not malicious, just deliberate).

i'm positive the depth chart is always emtpy at some point every offseason.

i'm not so sure about the roster.

The roster generally stays up through the entire offseason.

Right before the draft for the past couple of years the Panthers.com roster and depth chart has been cleared but it usually happens a couple weeks before the start of free agency. I'm not a web guy but I wonder if it is just easier to start over than to try and correct all the upcoming changes, or at least that's what I always thought.

But I agree with Mr Scot. Seems to be deliberately done with the lockout. Probably don't want to give any reason for a law suite for illegal use of apperance or something...

[OchoNueve]

and I thought all this lockout stuff was a rumor... i guess this makes it official.

[Mr. Scot]

I've never seen the roster completely cleared. I've seen guys who were UFAs removed, but never saw the link taken down.

It's possible this may have nothing to do with the lockout. Suspiciously timed for that, though.

No, I've seen the entire roster cleared but like I said it was probably for only a couple of days if that. I think it was more to do with setting it up to do updates from FA and the draft than anything else.

But this is probably due to the fact that JR doesn't want to do anything that could seen as possible lawsuite.

Page is still there, but the link has been removed. Wonder if perhaps they are simply updating it?

That occurred to me too, but honestly what's to update? Maybe a change of format or something, I suppose.

The timing makes me think it's lockout related, but it might not be. No other teams are doing this that I've seen, and the NFL still has rosters up. So who knows?

Gantt pointed out that while you can't click directly for details on the roster, you can still get to the page where you can buy their jerseys.

i saw that the other day too, i didn't think much of it though.
