Per the Observer (link)

All three have been the subject of some speculation during the offseason.

It'll be odd to see a Panthers roster without Nick Goings. He's been a real staple of the team for years.

Bridges was such a good story when he came here. Sad to see him decline (character issues definitely hurt).

Hackett could have been a lot better if he'd been able to overcome the injuries.

No huge surprises here, unless you weren't expecting Goings.

I want to see Jarrett, Carter, and Robinson all have good seasons.

I think they could, then I remember that Jake Delhomme is QB and can't make throws to anyone outside Moose and Smith.

We have a lot of receiving weapons, we just don't use them. Deangelo, Rosario, Jarrett, and Stewart could all be used so much more. I believe Carter and Robinson could be in there, but they need playing time.

I had such high hopes for Hackett and think he will eventually get past his injuries and be a good receiver, but I can understand letting him go.

Goings should have been gone two years ago, but it’s still sad to see him leave, especially after all he’s done for us. :(

Bridges was great depth, but the incident last month (year?) definitely didn’t help secure his spot.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
