What are the odds that....

a) The Panthers pick up another DT somehow?

B) Matt Moore is unseated as the starting QB

c) Everette Brown takes a leadership role

d) John Kasay makes it through training camp without "retiring"?

a) The Panthers pick up another DT somehow?

Not likely. If they do it won't be a big name DT or someone that can really be identified as a play maker. Probably another unknown that they want to 'test', keeping true to everything done thus far.

B) Matt Moore is unseated as the starting QB

I don't view this matter like most people. Matt will start and Clausen is insurance, nothing more. Even if Matt has one good year or decent year the Panther's need to have another viable option whether it be for this year or next year or the next. Clausen is still just a rookie.

c) Everette Brown takes a leadership role

Probably the hardest question, a leadership role? Not sure about that but I believe he will be a very effective player. You have to remember Brown is also only in his second year, which should technically be his first. Whether he is a true leader will be determined with time. Eventually, I think he will.

d) John Kasay makes it through training camp without "retiring"?

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
