Way Too Early Roster Projection - Format Fixed

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I agree that Martin and Munnerlyn are expendable and wouldn't be surprised if they aren't playing for us this season.

Also agree that getting a DT in free agency isn't out of the realm of possibility as well as getting another TE.

With that said, here's what I have atm:

OFFENSE:

WR1: Steve Smith - David Gettis - *Joe Adams*

LT: Jordan Gross - Lee Ziemba

LG: *Amini Silatolua*

C: Ryan Kalil - #Mike Pollak#

RG: Geoff Hangartner - Garry Williams

RT: Jeff Otah - Byron Bell

TE: Greg Olsen - Gary Barnidge - {FA TE or @ RB: Josh Vaughan}

WR2: Brandon LaFell - Kealoha Pilares

QB: Cam Newton - Derek Anderson

FB: #Mike Tolbert# - Richie Brockel

RB: DeAngelo Williams - Jonathan Stewart

DEFENSE:

LE: Greg Hardy- *Frank Alexander* - Thomas Keiser

DLT: Terrell McClain - {Frank Kearse/FA}

DRT: Ron Edwards - Andre Neblett - Sione Fua

RE: Charles Johnson - Antwan Applewhite

SLB: *Luke Kuechly* - #Kenny Onatolu#

MLB: Jon Beason - Jordan Senn - Jason Phillips

WLB: James Anderson - Thomas Davis - Jason Williams

LCB: Chris Gamble - Captain Munnerlyn

RCB: [*Josh Norman*/Brandon Hogan/Darius Butler]

SS: Charles Godfrey - #Haruki Nakamura#

FS: #Reggie Smith# - Sherrod Martin

SPECIAL TEAMS:

K/KO: {Olindo Mare/#Justin Medlock#/FA}

P/H: *Brad Nortman*

KR: Kealoha Pilares - *Joe Adams* - David Gettis

PR: *Joe Adams* - Captain Munnerlyn - Brandon Hogan

LS: J.J. Jansen - James Anderson - Ryan Kalil

# = Free Agent

* = Draft Pick

() = Undrafted Free Agent

[] = Position Battle

Other than leaving Jason Shirley and Bruce Campbell of your roster, I like it.

I highly doubt we carry 6 DTs along with 5 DEs (which Im mostly sure we will carry all 5 of those), so Shirley is the odd man out. I think Campbell is just camp fodder atm. I don't see justifying putting him on there over the other backups right now.

I think we will carry six defensive tackle's before we carry two full back's. The Panther's defense was the problem last year, so I feel like the roster will be heavy on the defensive side.

I mentioned Bruce Campbell because I doubt they cut a guy that they just traded for. I see Bruce Campbell making the team over Lee Ziemba if anything and Ziemba being delegated to the practice squad.

I'm also not a huge fan of Jason Phillips and I could see Jyles Tucker or even Eric Norwood taking Phillips place as a LB/DE because of their versatility (Especially Tucker because he is a pretty good pass rusher in my opinion).

Brockel is also a TE so he isn't just a backup FB. 6 DTs is just too much and I don't see that happening at all.

Ziemba can't be on the practice squad I believe. Campbell was essentially traded for a player that was going to get cut anyway.

Phillips, he could go either way. I chose him though because the coaches love his special teams play.

To my knowledge Ziemba didn't suit up for enough games last years to not be practice squad eligible and I am okay with Richie, he is an under the radar kind of guy and a really nice find for the Panthers last year.
