Perryman: maybe we just cut him?

I mean, he's still not ready.  He's not counting a ton towards the cap, maybe we drop the experiment before it starts.  We have Reddick, Shaq, Carter, Luuvu in the LB room anyways.  May do better getting a final cut from another team at MLB to backup Carter.

I completely agree. Roster spots are valuable. While not a major factor you also have to include his lack of ability to attend any internal  after hour Panther team-building events due to his vaccination stance. Whether you are for vaccinations or against it teams are at a disadvantage that have unvaccinated players.

Cut him and pick up a guy with some experience to play behind Carter.

LB is our weakest unit. I'm sure Rhule and Fitterer have their eyes on the waiver wire when teams cut down to 53. I'm 99% sure you could pick up two or three guys that are better than our starters.

Chinn should have won DROTY last season - he plastered over a lot of cracks.

I thought we were signing these injury prone guys because we now had sports science and poo.

I'm getting really close to demanding answers.

I am not sure really what to think. They piled up injury prone player after injury prone player this offseason but that wasn't the case in 2020. I guess we need to wait until 2022 offseason to figure out if this is a trend.

Yeah, looking at their history, Erving and Perryman are the headscratchers.  The others, I can see about being in a bad situation or having potential to be tapped, but mid-career journeymen like these two didn't quite fit the vibe of the team.  Elflein you could convince me even though Jets & Vikes fans disliked him.  I'm actually quite pleased with the rest of the FA but Erving and Denzel are just odd choices.

    • I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.
    • That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.
    • Not necessarily, they very well could just be waiting on the players who will get cut in the coming weeks/months as cap casualties and wanting to have the cap room to be able to offer more than other teams (likely our best shot at finding immediate pass rushing help for next year at this point). Also wouldn't be the end of the world to try and roll some cap into next offseason to have more space to go after bigger FA's. That's a better move than signing guys who really won't help much more than whoever else we can get on minimum or rookie deals.
