We are trading for Owen Schmidt so he can be re-unitied with Pat White on draft day.

That would be AWESOME.:thumbsup:

Actually, I just read on rotoworld's blurb that they said he may have not reported to off-season workouts on time and thus was waived. Makes sense.

nvm it's been updated by Gnatt.

The Panthers have waived FB Nehemiah Broughton, the former Redskins blocker. He was just signed earlier this offseason.

(Updated 4:03 p.m.)His agent, Harold Lewis, said Tuesday that the move was salary cap driven, and that he hopes to be back with the Panthers soon. Apparently, they were so tight after paying some cap charges that were scheduled to hit (roster bonuses, incentives) that they needed to clear Broughton's $460,000 off the books for a few days.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled kvetching about Julius Peppers.

Clear waivers and then re-sign him.

I understand that part, but if we had to waive him for money reason's/ to get him off the books. Why would we only need to have him off the books for a few days. If we didn't have the money to keep him, then how are we going to have the money to resign him.

i love our front office..

do you know of any other team that would be able to dance around the line for so long?

you think Detroit or the Cowboys or anybody would be so stubborn and hang onto Pep, no matter how much of a bind it puts us in? if we had a lesser FO, Pep would be gone by now and we might only be sitting with a 2nd rounder in return.. but since we got Hurney, we are wiggling around so much more with so So SO much less..

haha, its kinda humorous..

its like teasing you little brother by putting your hand in his face and saying "im not touching you, im not touching you"

I agree. Whats about our cap situation is going to change in a few days that doesn't involve Peppers?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
