RR said today that Slye would definitely kick Thursday. Not sure yet about Gano.  Wtf. Gano wasn’t kicking at practice yesterday I think.   If Gano hasn’t kicked all preseason we are not gonna cut Slye.  

Could Gano be going to IR?   That means we will have to keep 2 guys on the original 53 and then move Gano 24 hrs later. 

Im starting to really question whether Gano would even make it through the season.  

Would we outright cut him?

Man, why didn’t we just keep Butker. Piles of cap space saved and a K not hurt in 3 of 4 seasons.

And it's not like it was "hindsight is 20-20" either. If you go back and read threads about it at the time, I would say a majority of us wanted us to keep Butker and cut Gano.

But now we are paying him top kicker money to miss clutch kicks/XPs and is always hurt. Sad.

I am ready to part ways with Gano. Stats may say he is good but when it comes to kicking a game winning field goal or heck, even a PAT, I don’t trust him.  Give Slye the chance. 

We dont really gain anything cap wise by cutting him. Stash em on IR, if Slye is serviceable we wont even have to bring him back. If he's a disaster then we will have to hope Gano gets Healthy. Obviously cut him after this season. He has no GTD money after this year.

Good point, I agree!

He has 3M in dead money after this year.

IR looks like the best call. If Sly chokes we can reactivate him and if not we can cut him in the offseason. The biggest negative with IRing a kicker is we have to carry him on the roster for a day which is a spot that should go to a guy we don't want to expose to other teams. I guess we could IR him now and see if another team makes a move on him?

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
