“That would be a different situation. Here, I was behind Jon from Day One,” said Connor, a third-round pick in 2008. “It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out and maybe getting into a situation where they want me to be the guy. I’m kind of excited about it. It’s exciting to see how it shakes out. “Obviously, I’d love to stay here. I like it here and I think this team’s going to be really good next year. It’s something I want to be a part of.”

Connor has done everything he's been asked to and done it well.

Hopefully we can keep him, we have holes at starter positions as it is, dont need a player of his ability leaving town.

Ummm what ability? He's a backup who sucks in coverage. He can be easily replaced no way in hell we're gonna pay 10-20 million for a backup.

OK, run him out of town and maybe we can draft a replacement LB late who has the same talent level as the Captain does at CB.

Good call!

Okay overpay for a backup linebacker, when we have other needs on the defense.

"Hey our Corners and tackles suck but we got us a great backup linebacker!!!!!!"

The Panthers just need to keep an eye on Connor's off season progress and see if the numbers make sense. Will Witherspoon/Rams money doesn't make sense. But if Dan doesn't see the market he thinks might be there, bring him back!

Yeah, I really wish we could keep him. But, Hurney and Rivera need to fix other positions.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
