Panthers won't cut Armanti Edwards anytime soon

For those of you looking on the wires for Armanti's name, its not going to happen.

 

Edwards is a great camp player. He is always on time, pays attention, gives all he has got. They need guys like him so that they have enough WRs to conduct a full camp and evaluate QBs and DBs. AE has the respect of all the players and coaches.

 

I don't believe he will make the team this year. Look for him to be one of the last cuts made in August.

Not only is he a good camp player but I don't see them making many (if any really) WR cuts before they absolutely have to.  It's a position, like the secondary positions are, where we're going to go into camp with way too many people on the roster to promote competition then make cuts near the end after they're damn sure they  have the best group of receivers possible out of what's available.

 

Besides...I don't see why I'd want to see him cut this early anyway.  Do we gain anything from it aside from some sort of satisfaction that he's gone?

In addition, its not like he would catch on quickly with another team. They did Keiser a favor by cutting him early. He may be able to catch on to another team. But when the Panthers are done with Armanti he will be in the CFL. Probably do REALLY well there.

Armanti is the ultimate example of an over draft victim here.  This organization gave up way too much for him and he has faced unrelenting criticism and unrealistic expectations.  If we had drafted the kid where he should have been drafted 6th, 7th or UDFA no one would have a bad word to say other than "damn, I wish Armanti would have panned out."  That would have been the end of it, but noooooooo, Marty had to trade 7,000 picks and use a 3rd rounder to get him.  Not Armanti's fault, but that's the life of a pro football player.  I hate it happened to him but this is after all, a business, of which he has none being here after camp.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
