Official Panthers Cuts Thread...

[Zod]

OP updated with current roster

[vorbis]

refreshing to see dead weight and old hurney experiments trickle off the roster. improving the bottom 3rd of the roster is improving the roster.  somehow i knew horton was going to make it. he was doing everything right.  i liked how steady melvin white was in the run game. folkerts looked great in training camp practice videos FWIW.

 

my guess at practice squad from this crop of cut players:

roh DE

lester S

shaw WR

walker DT 

maybe mobley T.  

 

rest will probably come from other cut lists.  really think all of the waived/injured guys will be injury settlement/out of here.  the team is moving on. players like brandon williams and folkerts prove new GM isn't afraid to pick up guys off the street for specific roles.  i think this is an exciting time to watch the roster fill with more skill and production.  fewer "hail mary" roster spots means more consistency week to week IMO.

Roh doesn't belong in the NFL. Was constantly getting run over and stonewalled.

 

But my Adopt-A-Panther.....

That's just a stupid idea.

If Captain is as good as you think we should easily be able to trade him for someone better than Bell.

They obviously trust the young guys or they wouldn't have cut Florence.

Not sure I agree with keeping Edwards over Gettis... AE hasn't really showed me anything that would make me think he has "made it".

[panfanman]

not a big deal only going with 5 WRs.

barner will probably be lined up as one a lot, same with one or two TEs.

Just means more room for some O linemen signings and depth.

gettis hasn't shown me anything that would make me believe he could "stay healthy".

just what I was thinking.

I am dumbfounded at how flippantly people say things like this. Yeah, let's just turn on the cheat mode in Madden, than the CPU will give anyone for Munnerlyn. . .

[markbm62]

the next couple of days should show us what kind of GM we really have, does he go with what he has or does he find some hidden gems out there.

[Zod]

I have a question...why would you put someone who is a fa after this year on ir for a hamstring?

 

You can't cut an injured player. He has to go on waived/injured. If he clears waivers the Panthers will likely reach injury settlement and cut.

Brandon Williams made the roster, it seemed like they toned down using him a as REC TE.  Maybe they wanted to work on his blocking, IDK.  But I have high hopes for him as a pass catching TE......

It's not turning on Madden.

Byron Bell is not good. There is a backup tackle on someone's roster better than Bell. Munnerlyn is expendable at this point. He also could be helpful to a team in need of secondary help. I view a trade of this nature something similar to the Goodson for Campbell but hopefully with better results this time.

It's highly unlikely but was just a thought as I don't think we need 6 corners and he probably has the most trade clue aside from Norman who I would like to keep.

His blocking was by far the worst part of his game, so they probably decided to use as many live game snaps as possible to give him practice at it.
