Charlie Martin

[Jaxel]

So I know we have a slew of new wide receivers, but I was if anyone has heard anything on like Charlie Martin. Is there any chance he makes the team, or is he off the roster with these other draft picks in here.

Gantt was talking about him on wfnz yesterday.Says the panthers like him and he has a real chance too make the roster

[KillerKat]

maybe...if Jarrett gets cut. Even then I think Kenny Moore would get that spot.

I see us carrying 6 wide receivers on the roster this year. Call me crazy all you want, but Fox wants a good handful of weapons for his new offensive play calling. If this is his last year coaching in Carolina, why not put all the marbles in the bag? And some of these guys will also be expected to produce on Special Teams as well.

1. Steve Smith (that's a given)

2. Dwayne Jarrett (I haven't given up on him, and neither have the coaches)

3. Armantti Edwards (our DeSean Jackson + special teams play)

4. Brandon Lafell (drafted in the 2nd round, he has to make the team)

5. Kenneth Moore (my belief is that he was 4th on the roster last season, no reason he won't make the team this year)

6. And this one is obviously up in the air, but my money is on David Gettis.

So with all that being said, Charlie Martin doesn't make the team in my opinion. I think there's a lot of talent in that position now, and it'll be really really tough for him to stand out unless he has a spectacular preseason.

I had some hope for Dexter Jackson, but I doubt he makes the team.

We have so many young guys at the position that seem to have the potential. I just hope even one or two can step up big for us next year.

I think Gettis is more Likely to take over Kenneth Moore spot if he makes it. how old is Kenneth Moore?

We have a lot of talented young guys. It should be good competition.

SIX? Wow I don't see it. The Panthers have rarely carried more than 4 WR at a time. I could possibly see us going to 5 but no way 6.

According to the Observer we are practicing quite a lot in 4 WR sets. These first 3 days have been nothing but passing game, and that means we will probably carry more than 4 WR's.

Normally I would agree, but we've got to find some talented receivers. The front office might be inclined to keep a few more on the roster in hopes we can get a couple legitimate starters out of the group.

But you're right that historically we don't carry more than four receivers and, if we do, many of the receivers are also expected to contribute on special teams.

If we do the same this year, players like Wallace Wright might earn one of the spots. Maybe Goodson will play some slot receiver this year as well.

Good point, don't count out Goodson playing slot. Armanti will join up and reserve that WR/KR spot freeing up another spot for a WR.

I certainly hope so, but I wouldn't annoint Armanti as a returner just yet, especially given his inexperience with the position.

Think about how often we've brought guys on and just assumed they'd work out as a returner. How many guys gave it a shot last year? Goodson, Sutton, Munnerlyn, etc.

Munnerlyn was really good in my opinion. He struggled a little, but he also broke off some long ones. One which I recall was called back due to a flag.
