NFLTR: Panthers Cap Casualty Candidates

I don’t think it’s anyway you can cut any D linemen/edge rusher on an already weak unit, unless you have their replacement in the bag. A guy like AShawn was our best interior lineman on a piss poor unit that five mill is cheap.

Agreed.

Wonnum, Clowney, and Robinson were only impact lineman from last season. Not sure how you justify cutting them. There is no depth behind them. They should be in line for restructures. With Brown returning they should all improve.

Tuttle on the other hand provides no value. Chalk him up as another free argent bust. He needs to go.

We need to add to the line via draft since we already have enough veterans.

Yeah, they seemed to quit up front--going through the motions.  I think A. Robinson could have been impacted by poor Tuttle/Ray play as well--they def. need to go.  But saving 5.5m and losing a DE with his experience and ability is a bit stupid.  We are likely to draft a NT/DT and a DE, so rookies will need help.  I also think A Rob will be better with Brown in the rotation.

Looks like it saves 7.5 if done after June 1.

He might play significantly better with better players around him.  But I thought he was pretty awful last year regardless of the 5.5 sacks he tallied.  If they want to keep Clowney and Wonnum, I could see him as a likely target for cap relief.  I would imagine they are planning in bringing in some fresh faces on that line and not running it back.

Yeah, I think they overhaul that unit or at least attempt to. Since they didn't fire the man in charge, they're going to blame others, including players, and cut them.

Right. Shy Tuttle seems like an easy cut but we have no current replacement

    • My understanding is that Canales was asked about Tommy Tremble. Canales stated he had had back surgery, it was successful, and that they expected Tremble back for Training Camp. The Panthers PR person later clarified that Tremble will start TC on the PUP list. However, PUP during preseason isn't like PUP during the regular season where you definitely will miss time. Tremble can come off the PUP at any point, and to me Canales' statement made it seem like they were expecting him fully back near the start of TC. So, reading the team leaves, it seems like Tremble will be at TC but not practicing at least initially. Canales seemed to indicate he expected Tremble to be a part of TC, so that would indicate they anticipate him being activated around the start of TC. In terms of concern, who can honestly say? Its certainly not ideal that the surgery took place now. However, it does seems like this is an issue the team was fully aware of, and the plan was to rehab without surgery. The concern is obviously Tremble wasn't fully recovering without surgery, now the surgery will at least impact TC, and surgeries are never guaranteed. And back injuries linger and rarely completely resolve. Still, there are a whole gamut of procedures that constitutes back surgery, and while surgery is only "minor" when it's not your own, this doesn't seem to be a minor procedure. Tremble is in the building this week, so it's obvious hes not incapacitated or anything. Will just have to wait and monitor.  Im excited to see how JT Sanders and Mitchell Evans look in 2 TE sets since they fit more differentiated roles (Sanders is primarily a receiving threat, and Mitchell is more of a traditional TE). I hope Tremble is fully healthy for Week 1. This isn't the flashiest TE group in the league, but I think given the emergence of Sanders, as long as Tremble and Evans can be good role players we should be fine.
    • Meh camp is where Bryce looks the best. The answers will start to trickle in during the joint practices and that game but game 1 has been the real starting line for the reality of the season the last 2 years.
