so is Richard Marshall gone...?

[Fiz]

Don't be surprised to see Lloyd cut. If the new kickoff rules are in place, then he isn't much use.

Additionally, don't be surprised to see either Wallace Wright or AE cut.

Unfortunately, someone will always get hurt and open up a roster spot.

there's no way in hell that armanti edwards gets cut.

[4Corners]

he'll be an RFA and it'll be up to the Panthers what tender they want to place on him.

I recall him being pissed off 2 seasons ago because we only tendered him a 2nd rounder - hell it might have only been a 3rd.

His season LY was awful compared to one before, so if he didn't get any calls then, his chances for a big paycheck are slim to none (cue Al Davis).

He is a great tackler, but nothing special in coverage. I think that's why Godfrey caught a lot of heat from the fans last year because he was always having to overcompensate for Marshall's coverage errors.

The whole team had an off year LY (obviously) so I would welcome him back but at a bargain.

Sadly, I agree. Hurney is not going to admit he really F'd up on that trade...and he is prepared to go down with the ship. David Clowney is a much better WR than Edwards and DC is ready to help contribute now. Edwards is light years away. But like I said Hurney plays favorites and will put pressure on Chico to take it easy on AE.

I expect Clowney to be one of the final cuts of the roster, go back to the Jets, and score 5 touchdowns next season while Edwards doesn't dress.

Matt Moore is coming back

We shall see. Hurney cut Corvey Irvin and Attiyah Ellison before the start of their rookie seasons. He also cut Shelton after a few unproductive seasons.

The only reason that AE won't get cut is he either improves significantly or Hurney just wants to save face.

[SOJA]

Armanti will definitely get a shot

[Verge]

Matt Moore is coming back

Yup.

well of course Clowney is better than Edwards... at this point, that most obviously is going to be the case.

for the life of me I can't figure out where you all get this top secret information on year 1 and 2 rookies.. and in Edwards case, I'll reach as far as to mention year 3.

[brandon_87]

that is lame, just when I think the observer is finally getting better......

they have smitty being gone, AND us keeping Lloyd? wow

[4Corners]

would u rather have AE or Clowney?

CLOWNEY FTW

Irvin was stashed to the practice squad, not cut.

neither of those players involved a trade up either.

[The Saltman]

Ae isn't going anywhere. Not this season at least.

[Fiz]

also not cutting AE doesn't mean hurney refuses to admit he fuged up. we don't know if he fuged up.

it's well established that Fox wanted nothing to do with AE and the coaching staff at the time really wasn't prepared to teach a guy how to play a new position. That's why getting "teachers" was such a sticking point throughout the hiring process. it's also a recurring theme from throughout fox's tenure in Carolina.

[The Saltman]

I guess Fox thought that coaches who teach should be coaches in high school not the NFL.
