Which linebackers will make it

[HSCBandit07]

I am trying to predict what our 53 man roster might look like if we were to stand pat with the players we have and the LB position is what is giving me the most trouble.

I know James Anderson, Jon Beason, Dan Connor, and Jamar Williams are shoe ins with Thomas Davis probably getting postponed on the pup list.

Quinton Culberson, Mortty Ivy, Jordan Senn, Sean Ware, and Brett Warren are our other options. I'm guessing we keep two of them. I know next to nothing about any of these guys. Who do you guys think we will keep and what are their chances of being able to make a positive contribution. Any of these guys special teams demons?

I like Quinton Culberson.

I don't see Eric Norwood's name. He's competing at SLB also, though Fox has said he's a DPR (designated pass rusher).

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I got John Beason, James Anderson, Dan Connor, Jamar Williams, Eric Norwood, and Thomas Davis as obvious picks.

I believe we will either carry one or two additional linebackers and it will either be Jordan Senn or Quinton Culberson.

[SorthNarolina]

Norwood will probably be kept on the roster as a LB. Although we did keep 5 DE's last year so who knows.

we'll keep more than 6 LB's i think we usually keep 8.

4 Kasay, John K 5-10 210 40 20

7 Baker, Jason P 6-2 205 32 10

This is what I am thinking. There were some tough decisions but some of these guys made the list based on their special teams potential alone (we need a lot of help in that area, especially with Lloyd not coming back and a hunch that we will not field a KOS this year)

[HSCBandit07]

I didn't want to give up an O lineman to save K. Moore and I don't know who is going to emerge our FB. Also with Davis on the PUP list I would choose culberson as the other LB to make the roster.

[firstdayfan]

We won't keep two centers...i think that spot will go to the KOS. Outside of that I like it. A lot of people like mclain though so it will be interesting to see where he fits. I also could see us making moves ala Louis Leonard and tank Tyler depending on injuries.

McClain will probably take C.J. Wilson's spot.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Also David Gettis will find a spot on this roster. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Fox has ever cut a draft pick in their first year.

[Squirrel]

Mortty Ivy will make it.
