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.

True. But historically speaking, isn't 4 wide receiver sets out of the normal history line for our team? Yeah, we'd have to do away with a few backups, but I think it would be worth it if we can get some decent Special Teams play outta some of the receivers. Because, realistically speaking, that's all we'd lose if we were to keep one or two extra receivers. So, if Lafell and Armantti can produce on Special Teams... I wouldn't be surprised if we let a CB or S go.

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 am in agreement with you my friend, I think we will carry six wide outs. However, I am not sure it will be Gettis. I want Gettis to be on the roster, but if he is not then he will be on the practice squad. Regardless of how it pans out here is how I see the Wide Receiver depth chart as of right now.

WR Depth Chart (as of right now)

1. Steve Smith

2. Dwayne Jarrett

3. Brandon LaFell

4. Kenneth Moore

5. Armanti Edwards

6. David Gettis

7. Charly Martin

8. Wallace Wright

9. Trent Guy

10. Dexter Jackson

11. Oliver Young

I for one hope Charly makes the team, he's my guy this off season.

So many receivers so few spaces. It's kinda nice actually.

[PantherDude]

Charly Martin need to stay on the team. He could be the next Ricky Proehl!! We haven't got any white WR since Proehl. :D

[monstercat]

David Gettis is the guy I'm really pulling for. You can tell by his interviews that he's a really bright kid, and I noticed a pic of him catching balls after practice on the Observer sight yesterday, so he seems to have the work ethic to succeed, along with the size and speed.

Any receiving contribution that they get from Wallace Wright is icing on the cake, but he is on the team for special teams and will get one of those spots - the new Karl Hankton.

[Boltergeist]

Martin was a popular guy at our TC last year, and had it not been for Osgood, he may have made our 53.

if Gettis can put all of his natural talent together he will be a great WR.

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.

possibly 5?

lol 4 wide receiver sets only when we're healthy...that would be a bitch.
