Panthers release Hackett, Bridges, Goings

[Murph]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Omiyale re-signed in the first day of free agency.

I think Robinson won't make the final 53 man cut unless they decide to keep 6 WRs. I think our WRs will be Smith-Moose-Jarrett-Carter-Jones.

[Raskle]

WR: I'm ok with the five we have now. Jarrett needs a chance to shine, Either Robinson or Carter will get the #4 spot and Jones really surprised me last season. I think we're golden.

OL: Don't forget, we have Bernadeau and Schwartz in the wings now. I can see them elevating both come regular season, but at minimum Bernie gets the nod on gameday. As long as we re-sign Hangman and Omiyale, we have the depth needed to compete.

RB: Birmingham may get a shot this year, but I can see us finally going after that FB to eventually replace Hoov. Hell, it wouldn't be unlikely to see both Decori AND a new full-time FB added to the roster this year.

So.. who's this year's Schmidtt btw? I'm still pissed we passed up on that guy.

Robinson would make it over Carter.

Schmitt might actual be the starting FB this year in Seattle. This year the draft is really weak will be interesting to see where Pat White goes and how he is used.

Robinson would make it over Carter.

We already have a good returner in Jones so Robinson shouldn't start in front of him. So it comes down to receiving skills which I think Carter is better at. Carter also can return kicks if it comes down to him.

Robinson is the better receiver imo.

Least we're stacked there which is nice.

I’m hopeful that fullback is already on the roster in the form of Nehemiah Broughton, who we signed in the middle of last month.

Broughton is a big guy who was drafted by the Redskins in 2005. He didn’t show much—partly due to injury in 2007, partly due to whoever knows what else--but, with a little tutelage from Hoover, there’s a chance he could be an option at fullback once Hoover leaves.

That’s probably very hopeful, but we’ll see.

Sucks that Goings got cut, but everyone knew it had to happen at some point. I am hoping Bridges maybe restructures but he will probably go to start on another team, I was in love with Hackett when we first signed him but he betrayed me.

As for Lucas I'm hoping he gets traded for a Defensive tackle or some picks to stack our draft some more (that is if we end up trading Peppers)

lol... how did Hackett betray you?

Are you saying you were NEVER aware with his injuries?
