Perryman: maybe we just cut him?

[CRA]

think you got to keep him until you find a replacement body.  Which likely wouldn't be until final cuts.

Yeah, he's done himself no favors.  He's been as close to invisible as he can be.  I can very well see him being a cut when we draw down to 53 (or put on IR)

Sheesh, I thought Bynes looked terrible honestly. Slow, couldn't get off blocks, and missed tackles. Reminded me to much of Whitehead for my liking haha

If he can't even serve as a replacement body, then he's a minimum mid-season IR add.

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.

It's ashame this guy isn't as reliable as Denzel Washington.

I wouldn't mind going out and getting KJ Wright at this point. Had a solid year last year, doesn't necessarily fit the youth movement but a solid addition that could even start ahead of Carter

Rhule stating "I have not seen him" is pretty telling IMO.  I think he's out before he's even made it in at this point.

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.

Although I don't blame the ones just chilling at the sauna and ice tubs.  Quite the experience.

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.
