i could see some competition for a backup safety spot

"My agent said I had a choice to go to one of three teams," Scirrotto said. "With Carolina, it was just the best opportunity, and it just fit me right.

"The biggest thing is where you think you'll have the best opportunity to make the 53-man roster. I knew that they had veteran safeties. The backup opportunity is there, but I'm going to play everywhere they want me -- special teams, I can run down the field and tackle, catch punts, do whatever they ask."

the dude is going to be a workhorse jack of all trades.

i don't see him being starting caliber but i do see him being one of those guys who is very solid everytime and in every situation he is called on.

i like him. he'll be on that 53 man roster.

I think the kid's got potential to stick also. I personally would'nt mind if he supplanted Nate Salley. I like Salley's ability to lay the wood, but his aggressiveness has caused unnecessary injuries to our own players i.e. Steve Smith and Ryne Robinson the last two minicamps and we really can't afford to lose too many contributors on the team due to TC. Add to this, Salley's a liability in coverage and limited to special teams, and Scirrotto may be an upgrade there as a backup safety and special teams player.

Im not sold on the kid yet, watching a lot of Penn State games (Big Ten network on local cable package) they showed alot of their games and just wasn't impressed by the kid. He never gave up but was not very good of providing cover support in the pass but if he is going to be used to special teams he may do alright...idk

Playing devils advocate...

We are quickly running out of roster spots and it seems like all of our UDFA are going to make the team based on comments on this board. I hope all these guys were just overlooked and are true finds but reality says that only 1 or 2 have a legitimate shot at sticking. I think in his best case, he is an UDFA rookie who will be competing with Joe Fields for a roster spot. (an UDFA on the practice squad).

Hope I am wrong but I doubt it.

LG: wharton, bernadeau

C: kalil

RG: vincent, duke

RT: otah, schwartz

____

LDE: brayton, johnson

LDT: kemo, harvey

RDT: lewis, irvin, hayden

RDE: peppers, brown, taylor

SLB: diggs, ivy

MLB: beason, connor

WLB: davis, landon johnson

LCB: marshall, sherrod, munnerlyn*

and miller is gone..but things i have read on ivy says he is slow..and that wont help him in a meeks def.plus i think connor will be the backup to both spots

i dont think hayden makes the team

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
