Panthers release Hackett, Bridges, Goings

[Brandon]

I wouldn't be shocked if we resigned Bridges at a much more cap-friendly figure, it's hard to imagine we'd pass up on quality depth even with some of his character issues.

the draft is too deep in OL...so i think we will draft one

but i think hackett will land in a good place.

That's the thing man, unless your Steve Smith you can't have Character Issues and be on the team.

Steve Reed is apparently also acknowledging a Lucas trade is possible.

At this point, I'd be surprised if he wasn't traded. If he's cut in the next 30 hours or so, then a deal fell through. Otherwise he would've been cut today along with the other three players.

Why waste a draft pick on an unkown when we can get someone relatively cheap who is a known commodity.

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.

Gosh I hope not.

[MadHatter]

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

Has the talent...can never stay healthy. He has had health concerns EVERY season. You can't get more than 6-8 games from him in any given season.

Def a possibility. Also leaves room to take a look at some younger talent. We prob will bring in a FA also if there are any good ones out there.

[Adrenaline]

hmm.....Peppers + Lucas for Lito Shepherd and the Eagles #21 and maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder?

We shed a ton of cap, allowing us to keep Hangman, be FA players for DLinemen, and we still have 3 great CBs

[Jackofalltrades]

Bridges provided valuable depth, but he's replacable.

[JungleCat]

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

Yeah, I agree. No big surprises, though.

i dont see the eagles doing that....that just signed their CB joselio hanson, to a 5 year extension....but it was a good thought

[manwithcake]

My primary concern with releasing Bridges means that all of our OL depth is gone or going. Omiyale and Hangartner are UFA's. Hangartner especially is likely to get a better offer than we will probably offer. Bernadeau is promising, but there are times when we very well may have 2 backups starting. Is anyone comfortable starting Bernadeau and Schwartz against anyone on our schedule next year?
