Saturday Carolina Panthers Cuts thread

[TheSpecialJuan]

We really did need to get some youth in our special teams. Gano is 30, Lee is 35 and Jansen is 31.

I  like the bold moves so far.

Looks like someone married into the wrong family

He had an operation yesterday, so I'm blaming it on the meds.

Bersin to IR

probably waived with injury settlement eleventy billion dollars. JR setting up his lawn mower boy for life.

Finally rid of Bersin !........ for now

And here comes the Bersin hate. Everybody loves Byrd, who has one career catch though.

Bersin was a good Panther.

Bersin will be back in November.

No money involved in Lee, pretty much sunk costs for 2017, no real savings at all in terms of cap. Maybe they were worried about losing Palardy since they do save cap next year. 

Yeah, I think it's a case of wanting to hold on to the young guy and not have to look for another punter in 1-2 years.

Lee easily has 5 more years in him.

Bersin to IR is good news.

His injury doesn't seem too serious.  Frees up a spot for someone else.  But if in mid-season we're needing more WR depth we can return him to roster.

And stupid.  Smh....

on the surface.   However, Lee is old and maybe injury-prone. This would have been his last year.  Statistically, there was not a lot of difference. Lee is good at sticking punts inside the 10; Palardy good at directional kicking.  Ask the ST coordinator which is more important, and they will tell you the directional kicking.  This is not to say that Lee could not do that, but he is not known for it....As limited as my knowledge is about it.

Cut Palardy, keep Lee and you are drafting a P in the winter.  Palardy has talent and a long future ahead.  I like the move.  All moves are not for the upcoming season--a good GM looks down the road.

Didnt the cardinals offer us a 6th for lee?  Why didn't we take it?
