The Good Ole Waiver Wire - Your Friend and Mine

Since the Panthers are only 8th in line on the waiver wire, I suspect our beloved team will be fairly active as other teams make their cuts. 

 

Positions I feel that could be targeted:

- Left tackle

- Right guard

- Tight End

- Linebacker (all)

- Safety

- QB

 

If any adequate player of these positions are let go, I think it is safe to assume the Panthers would love to increase the quality of their depth and in some instances possibly find a new starter.

The good news is that there always seems to be a high priced vet safety and linebacker cut towards the end of camp

Honestly don’t see any LT’s that we could pickup that could make an impact.

 

with Shaq and Perryman being dinged up already.  LB I’d look hard at.

I know KJ Wright talked to the Raiders yesterday.  But he’d be a good fit and Fitty knows him well coming from Seattle 

 

 

also CB.  Bouye missing the next few weeks with a new team here then suspended the first few weeks of the season

Good point. 

Also to add on top.  When is the last time Donte Jackson put together a fully healthy season?

Bouye’s issue.  One stubbed toe to Donte and we’re looking at Troy Pride and the rookie as our starting CB

If they're talking about "winning" get a real back up QB. Somebody who can actually win a couple games if Sam gets hurt.

The safety net has rips in it. Remember how crucial DA was some of those years. A real pro as a backup can't hurt.

I really don't understand the undervalued approach to the backup QB this team has taken.

Ditto on the backup QB. I believe they thought they found a guy that could win games in PJ but it just wasn't the case.  But there's not much across the league to be honest.

QBs that could be cut:

Easton Stick

Blaine Gabbert

My boy Nate Sudfeld

?

or maybe Matt Barkley (current FA)

We're stacked at CB:

Horn, Jackson, Bouye, Taylor, Pride, Thomas Oliver (have spent recent Draft picks on all) and Hartsfield.

We carried 3 QBs last year.

We don't undervalue the QB position (backup or starter), but we just can't find any quality.

Horn is a rookie.   He has looked good in Practice but he is still a rookie.  And rookie CBs can still be tough (see Okudah last year in Detroit)

Donte hasn’t played a full season since when?

Bouye is with a new team.  Missing camp with this new team.  And will be suspended the 1st 4 games of the season.

Taylor is a 5th rd rookie

Pride has been alright.

 

has Oliver even shown anything that you’d trust him to play significant time?

 

In 3 CB sets.  If Donte goes down with a Toe.  You feel that good with Horn, Pride and Taylor on the field?

You're forgetting about Rashaan Melvin. Not that he's that memorable, but he's better than Oliver and Taylor...at least for now.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
