Cuts - Who are you afraid to lose

I am most afraid of losing Medlock; Kicker is usually an either or scenario, and after watching "Mediocre Mare" last year, I'd rather take my chances with someone new.

Having Mare is like being in the lead at the Masters with 6 holes left and then finishing 2nd to the guy who was 5 strokes behind.

I do not think Gettis will be cut under any circumstance. Proved he could contribute when healthy as a rookie, and you can't just throw away that kind of speed and size. Maybe put on the PUP list though. He has missed a lot of time, and putting him on the PUP would allow them to keep an additional receiver in Gettis' place until at week 6.

Only way I think Hogan is cut is if they don't judge his upside or ability to get healthy above Josh Thomas. They usually keep 5 CB and Gamble, Norman, Munnerlyn, and Butler are locks. Only surprise may be if they keep RJ Stanford for ST. Still think they keep Hogan even if he is inactive early on.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
