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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
