Joique Bell anyone?

I'm having trouble understanding all the, not just disinterest, but almost anti-interest. Why a team wouldn't bring in a guy who was on a roster last season, just to see if he just might be better than a guy that didn't end up making our team last year, is beyond me. Is there a down side, other than possibly having to drop our 14th WR to make a temporary spot?

If you looked at it that way, it'd make sense to sign every single player that some other team releases. After all, they might be better than someone we have.

Heck, we'd be churning the bottom of the roster three or four times a week at that rate. And if you're constantly letting guys go, how exactly do you find the time to determine  weather the guys you have really are any good?

The front office watches who's available quite closely. If they thought he were worth it, they'd pursue him.

Right now, it looks like they don't.

I thought he was coming off injury?  Anyway I like his style. Would be nice to have him. I want to see how CAP looks though .

Looks more like about a player a week, but yes, that's pretty much how it usually works. You don't have to give every guy a season. Drop Mike Palardy, pick up Mike Scifres, see how it goes. Keep shuffling until we get the roster we want. http://www.panthers.com/news/transactions.html

If you only give a guy a week, you're not evaluating.

You're guessing and hoping.

I feel our RB depth is good enough as is...

DG brought in a couple of RB for camp but I think we will go into the season with the same depth as last year.

RB needs to be addressed over the next year or so due to Stewart getting some miles on his legs. Next years RB depth in the draft is big!!! There are several RB's with real star potential! There is one right down tobacco road...Hood. I think the kid is going to be special! He has speed like the Bernard but also power like Means!!! Next years draft is where DG grabs our RB of the future!

They've been giving guys more than a week. I was saying that they are turning a roster spot over about once a week.
