- I think Panthers cut to 50 on Tuesday knowing they will have 1st pick on the waiver wire

- Surprise cut will be K’Lavon Chaisson. The coaching staff will go with young players with upside at OLB The team can also save $2 million on the cap by cutting him. 

- Andrew Raym will make the team over Cade Mays. Raym is the only true center on the roster

This has a few notable differences from the one put out on the N&O. 

I probably trust Person more here.

Players that did not start on PUP prior to start of training camp will need to go on the initial 53 man roster in order to be placed on short term IR (Sam Franklin, Dane Jackson, etc.)

Does he say who gets stashed on PS?

Only 5 WR's? 5 Safeties? I don't want to see Cade Mays in a live game. I'll take Raym over him and Mays can go to the PS as an emergency call up

With Matthews and JT it really isn’t 5 WR but agree on paper looks low at first glance. I’d rather cut Ian or Tremble and keep TMJ

I guess our second round RB is gone already

He’s on IR to start the season, which was known since the day we drafted him

TMJ would be a surprise to me. Maybe a trade instead but not cut.

Getting someone to trade for TMJ would be great but not sure any other team wants to pick him up.  Morgan pulled off the improbable with the Michael Jackson (CB) trade for a 7th round rookie that was never going to see the field so you never know.  TMJ was just never able to get over the hump here. Hope he finds a landing spot where he can put it all together though.

Not sure what they are doing with Barno who was supposed to return at the beginning of training camp--best case scenario, and it is difficult when you are not including players who are out and could return at any time.  Mays?  Raym would be my choice, but they can hide Raym on the PS and protect him (along with Coker).  Still, I think he is better than Mays, so...

Feels like they tried to give him some chances to pop off late in the last game.  Usually that means they're trying to give the guy some good tape before he gets cut.  Just like the RB the game prior.

I think if anyone called, he'd already be gone.  Some other team will probably call him in once he's a free agent.
