The Panthers have waived TE Richie Brockel from injured reserved.

Brockel was on the IR, so I don't think anyone was signed, nor are we making room for anyone, unless there's some rule I don't know about numbers of players who can be on the IR for a team in the season.  We've got a pretty long list, but I imagine most teams do by this point in the season.

I assume this was just a recognition that he's not likely to get a roster space next year, and cutting dead weight on the roster.

don't we have to make room for Charles Johnson coming back sometime soon?

Ah, yes, that is true.  Gonna be a tough call.

I wonder if Delaire could be sent to the PS?  That's my best guess honestly.

Other possibilities: maybe Simonson?  Or Bersin again....  Norwood??  Given the trade for him, he's almost like a "draft pick" so I doubt we'd waive him.   We already waived Horton this season when we had to call up extra Oline depth from the PS.  Doubt we'd waive him again either.  He's a valuable player.

I doubt they'd risk waiving Marlowe or Wegher after holding on to them for so long on the 53 even if they're not playing this season.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
