Panthers release Hackett, Bridges, Goings

[Squirrel]

Yeah if we don't see Lucas being cut he must be getting traded.

Maybe not. He might restructure.

[Mr. Scot]

That security company will have to change its commercial again.

They might have to get two new guys.

(hope not)

Maybe we could see Otah in the next one? :eek:

[rayzor]

bump up jarrett, robinson, and carter? tough to do.

with goings gone, i wonder if this means that decoi birmingham will see the field next year.

[Matt Foley]

They might have to get two new guys.

(hope not)

Remember that Caravan story I did a couple of years ago, where I handed over the microphone and let all the offensive linemen go at it? All those guys might be gone...two years later.

[MadHatter]

the thing that concerns me is by havign Gross in at $10M and Peppers in at $17M, we are gonna have to let alot of quality depth go and replace it with much cheaper players. That is going to make health even more critical next season.

We had injuries on the OL, but had the quality depth to be OK. I see our depth there being very thin in 2009.

Does anyone think that the releasing of Hacket means that we need to pursue a WR in free agency or the draft?

[X-Clown]

Doubt it...with Jarrett, Robinson, Carter, and even Mark Jones on the roster and the other areas of need I doubt we address receiver unless it's a late second day pick.

[manwithcake]

About time Goings got gone.

Yeah, all he ever did was bring it 100% every day, did everything he was asked to do, worked his ass off for a backup/ST role, and was a model NFL player wrt work habits and attitude. We don't need clowns like that.:sosp:

In his prime the past two years he hasnt done anything.

That is not what he meant....everyone here knows that Goings gave everything he had. However, with a 53 man roster and a salary cap, you have to make tough decisions and let a player go when he can no longer deliver at a high level on the field.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah if we don't see Lucas being cut he must be getting traded.

Yasinskas thinks so, but then he was the first to speculate on that. Gantt has now acknowledged the possibility as a "rumor".

Panthers trim three veterans

Thee official story on site: Bridges, Goings, Hackett released

[scpanther22]

i think we should have stuck with Hackett..i see him going to a team in need of a good # 2 or 3....
