David Newton: Tough cuts may be a coming at WR/RB

[Dex]

I think Tolbert gets cut.

Oh BTW, Wegher had 9 KO returns for 23.8 yds per return average while at Iowa.  So he's not UNFAMILIAR with the role.

 

Though, to me, Todman is the guy who will be our KO returner and special teams player.  But Wegher could do it too.

From a $$$ to production standpoint, that would make sense.

Saying any UDFA makes the squad before even a single padded practice is the very definition of speculation.

The Panthers like Fozzy a great deal. Unseating him won't be easy.

Can you compare Wegher's and Reaves' rookie camps? Curious if Wegher looked better in his this year than Reaves did last year.

[Jeremy Igo]

Wegher looks to be much faster than Reaves and catches well out of the backfield. I can see him supplanting Reaves on the PS.

All depends on how he takes a hit, does he fumble, and can he pass protect. We will know in August.

Fozzy, Todman and Wegher will all be competing for 1 roster spot.

Philly, Boykin, Bersin and Hill will all be competing for 1 roster spot.

This is the way I see it as well.

I hope Cotchery doesn't make the team. Nothing against him but I d rather have a young guy with upside as our # 4 WR. Ricky and Teddy should be able to handle the mentoring. I want KB, Funchess, Ginn, Brown, Boykin and Hill.

 

Why in the name of knowing anything about football would you want a vet that knows how to play football (Cotch) cut, and a vet that cannot play football (Hill) kept?

 

 

Cotch, barring injury, will be the no. 3 WR, and will do well in that role.

Philly (or Ginn) is significantly more likely to be that #3. Cotch will be right where he belongs. #4/5 with very minimal playing time providing moral support.

[KillerKat]

We should be giving a nod to our younger receivers over an over the hill vet with diminishing skills that would only be here just 1 year if he somehow even makes the team.

I think Tolbert gets cut.

I think Bersin goes during the first round of cuts. That would be doing him a favor hoping he can find a landing spot before the regular season. He's a nice guy and all but I feel we can get more production from Boykin.

IF they think he has an NFL future and they have any suspicion that other NFL teams (re: Patriots) think so too, he'll make the 53.
