Welcome to your Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans gameday thread. Please use this thread for general observations about the game. 

 

  • Cam Newton will not plays. 
  • First string players typically play a full quarter or about three series. 
  • Keep an eye on Austin Duke and Kaelin Clay later in the game. Both fighting for a roster spot. 
  • Tennessee Mom still wants Cam's :Eggplant_Emoji_Icon_42x42:, and feels guilty about it. 

 

Please do not create reactionary threads. Keep it nice and tidy in here. If you have a legitimate topic to discuss about the game that deserves its own thread by all means do it. 

 

Love,

 

Management.

You're the one stating we should keep an eye out for both.  Correct?  When neither one will make the team.  So, in essence, can you tell us why we should look out for players destined for the Practice Squad (if that)?

Because today's Damiere Byrd was also once a practice squad guy. Same with Russell Shepard who will be starting this year.

 Some of us like to keep up with such things.

Meh, keeping up with Practice Squad players that will never be on a final NFL roster.  That's like keeping up with Walk-Ons on a College Football team.  You know they're on the team, but know they'll never get any PT (unless your CFB team is complete trash).  It's better to look for battles that will impact the immediate roster, than watch for a bunch of players that won't see the field this season (unless a ton of injury attrition happens).

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
