Shocker: I'm told the Panthers have waived DE Everette Brown.
Per Caplan

Update:

In a big surprise, the Carolina Panthers have waived DE Everette Brown, thesidelineview.com has learned.

Brown, who was selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Panthers, appeared in 28 games and started three over his two years of play.

Brown never really developed into the player that the Panthers thought that they were getting based on his college tape. Personnel sources said that his lack of pass rush moves and size contributed to his struggles at the NFL level. But the talented defender clearly is capable of producing good sack numbers with further development with a coaching staff is willing to take a chance on him.

Brown, 24, will be subject to the waiver process since he’s not a vested veteran.

Brown has two years left on his contract and is set to earn $535,000 in base salary this season.

The Panthers gave up their first-round selection in the 2010 draft in order to select Brown.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
