I have seen/heard a lot of fans questioning our ability at DT after the cuts but did anyone catch the rotoworld report when he got cut? If not, here it is:

I'm sure that this is Hurney's plan. He inserted that roster bonus so we could cut him without penalty (if the cap were still in place) and then resign him to a cheaper market-value deal. I hope this is the case because outside of the top few DTs in the draft (all 1st rounders) I don't see anyone I like. Lewis is a solid role player and I'm sure he'd like to come back and play for us if he doesn't get a better offer.

I already threw it out there.. Brayton, Lewis, and L Johnson could be coming back...

perhaps Johnson is gone already... I dont remember, nor do I care.. but it doesn't sound so crazy anymore by this post.. It must be true now that someone made a thread on it. :)

L.Johnson already signed with the Lions & we know Brayton already signed to come back last week. I hope you already know this or just playing around. :boxing_smiley:

I'd really like to see Lewis back. IMO he's been the most underrated player on the D the last couple seasons. He doesn't have the size or talent to be an elite DT but he has the effort and drive to be a very solid contributor. I never recall seeing him dogging it or not pursuing a ball carrier downfield. I like the way he plays.

Brayton is back already, Johnson signed a one-year deal with Detroit.

Whoops, got beat to the punch.

Lewis is a good DT but he was just getting payed way too much for what he did. I really wish we could get Diggs back but I doubt that would happen cause he prob would beat out everyone else at LB and they want Connor to step up.

We have Johnson, Irvin, Tyler, and Leonard....with Brayton being able to slide in on passing downs.

I doubt we carry 5 true DT's next season. Tehrefore, signing Lewis would mean letting one of the above go. I just don't see that happening.

Hayden not included? we could drop his ass.. or did I miss him being released?

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
