Wasn't this already posted somewhere because I've seen that list?  That's why I was taking about those waived players.

Better than Smith and cheaper, with returner ability.  Smith is one of those vets that the coaching staff will keep over better talent.

Smiths money is on the books this year. If you cut him, you have his money AND Ross' money to pay. Thats not cheaper.

Really!. Nice comment coming from someone that most likely hasn't been in this world long enough and the comment you made sounds just like what kid would say trying to make yourself look like an adult.

Got me.

In terms of the cap savings, no.  In terms of salary, yes.  Ross' salary is peanuts by NFL standards, but that's probably the justification for keeping player in obvious decline...who frankly was never all that great to begin with.

The more I think about Vernon Butler the more I would like to slap the s h i t out of Dave Gettleman. A wasted 1st round pick. Hell in 3 years I wouldn't have picked Butler in no round.
 

To be fair,  not many of the low Rd1/high Rd2 picks worked out that year.

Ogbah hasn’t done much and some people  wanted Hunter Henry, but he’s had 1000 yds over 3 seasons.

Ross has done next to nothing. You might save a few dollars but you actually have to have someone who could contribute

I wish CAP the absolute best.  I have no ill will towards him.

But I am excited to see what Bonnafon can do having him on the roster instead.

From the way the roster is shaping up it looks like we're going to have a younger team, in terms of ave age, than last year.

Look, if you guys are fine paying a guy $3M to sit on the bench that's fine.  At least Ross as the #6 WR could have contributed in the return game. It's not lost on me that Smith is a "teacher's (coaches) pet" and no matter how far down he actually is on the depth chart at WR, he's not going anywhere.  Besides, it was probably a done deal he kept a roster spot when he took a pay cut.  Waiving a guy who took a large pay cut may hurt the team's image after all.

[Shocker]

After a monster preseason, Reggie Bonnafon not only makes the Carolina Panthers' 53-man roster, but he's listed as Christian McCaffrey's primary backup. Major congrats to @RelentlessReg1.
