OK, time to sound off like you got a pair. Who is the 2017 surprise veteran cut?

Peppers.

Ha. I have been wondering how Peppers feels about signing on under the new regime only to have to see Marty Hurney again the first day of training camp.

Dickson would absolutely be a surprise. 

As bad as he is, everyone else behind him is much worse. 

Well you've been a naughty boy...the subtle way you talked up Simonson last year...

Not replacing Dickson was one of G-man's failings. Sure there were rumblings about Cook, but G-man didn't get it done. The money and opportunity were there, but G-man frustratingly tried to do things on the cheap. Dickson should have been gone!

Dickson is cut. Hurney gets KB to fill up on Bojangles and convinces Ron to move him to TE. He gets two holding penalties per game. Hurney magic

Simonson looks like a practice player. Didn't do so well once the games started.

Marty twice tried to make him the highest paid defensive player. I'm sure he doesn't mind.

Agreed.. I really think we should have two all pro tight ends

Not to bring G-man up again, but Hunter Henry should have been a Panther.  

There are those poignant moments in life when you just have to do what makes perfect sense. To me, G-man had two. One was acquiring Jared Veldheer (yes, at the expense of Hardy), and the other was drafting Hunter Henry last year. We would have had our long term guy, plus had the real ability to exploit two-te sets like we used to when Shockey was here.

Ed "Done Nothing" Dickson.  Move Funchess to TE.  He played there in college I believe.

I'm not sure but I think it will be Joe Webb (great guy but you can only stay QB3 for so long in this league, even with other skill sets), I don't think Darrel Young makes the team, Bersin finally takes a bow and I believe Delaire won't make the final 53 (just not enough production from him).

 

Can you justify not carrying 3 with Cam coming off of surgery, and playing the style that he does?

Especially given that he is getting up in years (and hits) now.

[GoobyPls]

Ed Dickson would be considered a surprised cut? I'm more surprised he's still on the roster 

I'd say Johnathan Stewart

joe webb dickson and fozzy need to go

Yep.  The fact we didn't have a pair of all-pro Tackles on our bench last year was Gman's undoing.  The salary cap is no excuse.

Shepard is getting undue love from the Huddle before he has ever stepped on the turf as a Panther at BOA.  He hasn't done anything to justify his roster spot (and, sorry, just being a supposed ST ace doesn't count). For me, I don't see him as any more deserving than the other two FA WRs that were brought in, or Byrd, Fred Ross and Keyarris Garrett. As a matter of fact, I will say that his ONLY saving grace will be if Ross and Garrett don't get opportunities. The guy was cut in favor of Adam Humphries (and rightly so), and you're telling me that all of a sudden he's going to ball out when he had every opportunity to do so in Tampa? I'm not buying it at this point. He's going to have to show me something. Like I said, Rivera's frustrating default position of giving vets slots because they're vets will likely save him, but that's the only thing.

Weren't Tampa fans pissed when they weren't able to retain Shepard??  I could be wrong, but I heard they weren't happy because he had been improving his game every year (as a WR that is, it's well known that he's a special terms ace and was a captain last year)

Cut Anderson and sign Kaep.. ::popcorn::
