If you had to make a decision...

Keep Jarrett

That way I can feel safe in the bubble of guaranteed disappointment the Panthers have created for me and my fandom.

LaFell still has a chance to be something, thus popipng my bubble and giving me hope.

With the money they have paid Jarrett you can't cut him until he's seen pre-season action in my opinion. The press is jumping all over him because it's a story - I'm sure every receiver has run a wrong route by now. We need to see what he can do in the pre-season, but at that point the cost is sunk and I would cut him if he's not the best receiver on the team other than Smith.

He was the only one to line up on the wrong side all day Friday.

How can the rookies know where they need to be better than a veteran?

If I was making the decision, I would cut Jarrett and keep LaFell. My reasoning is you already know what you have with Jarrett. LaFell, not so much. The upside to LaFell's potential versus the downright inconsistency and underachievement of Jarrett are rather evident, IMO.

    • 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.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
