Instead he said he was slowing down and losing effectiveness giving the team an opportunity to cut him and they took it.

Statements on PFT under the team section. Too lazy to link on the phone. It's probably already on the forum somewhere anyway.

 

 

edit: yep Zod got it.  different outlet same story tho.

Why would you release one of your best players without a backup plan?  In this case there was not even a backing up backup plan.

 

It was a poor decision.

 

The back up plan was guys like jerricho cotchery who are cheaper and just as effective.

because he's old & slow & Jerricho Cotchery is 10x more effective....

You are insane. PLEASE show me where does Cotchery make the catches that Steve Smith does? Or the effort in blocking that Steve Smith does? In comparison, Steve Smith was signed TWO days after he was released. Cotchery? Two weeks after FA.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
