Rivera says Edwards is in the mix for the No. 2 rcvr spot w/ LaFell and Gettis, who is still out w/ hamstring injury.

Brandon LaFell says he did yoga during the lockout to improve flexibility. Like everyone here, LaFell has been impressed w/ Armanti Edwards.

WR Armanti Edwards said he fielded so many punts this offseason that "I feel like I can do it with my eyes closed."

He'd definitely have to show he can consistently beat the press to be the #2 though.

I told PF81 on twitter, I'm still surprised by Riv coming out and saying the #2 spot is open, b/c I thought Gettis earned it last year and thought LaFell and AE would be playing the slot... Pretty surprising to me.

That is just coach speak for everyone needs to compete.
true, but form all reports, AE has been incredibly impressive, more so than lafell and gettis has been hurt.

makes sense that he would be a legit consideration for that job.

if so, it could make hurney look like a genius with that trade.

Rumor has it the Panthers plan to use their first overall pick in the 2011 Draft on a DL.

But remember, new coach, so every position is an open one. ['cept SS ;)]

    • I would say that he's pulling things out of his ass to get people to visit his site.
    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
