I sincerely doubt that.

Yes, Jones struggled at getting past the kicker, but he gave us good position for the most part. At least so much so that Fox isn't going to throw his first-round pick out there to do the dirty work.

No way they bring Jones back. He isn't even in the ballpark to be good enough for Carolina to sign him again to be a returner only. Lloyd is a specialist. A guy like Hester is a specialist (even though they now have him playing WR). Jones is a guy we let play for a year. It is over. Fox threw his 1st rounder in to do the dirty work WITH a bad foot. The only time Stewart returned kicks was when he was injured early in the season? That's Fox football I guess........do the opposite of what makes sense.

I have a feeling Ryne is going to get cut... just an opinion. Dont shoot me down.

Ryne is a friend of mine and I expect him to be in tip top shape going into TC. He said averything is 100% on his knee. He has been in FL with his trainer getting back into shape for the past 3 weeks. He is excited about playing this year as he said it was very hard to sit out last season.

Ryne Robinson?????

great flashes of what???

look at who we have had with great potential that never showed up:

Keary Colbert

Drew Carter

Chris Weinke

DJ Hackett

We always have potential never the goods. Cut him and keep Mark Jones who is a solid returner. Do not need a WR/RB/CB to be our main returner. Ask the Aints what happened to their golden child last year.

PS RESIGN NO> 56 JASON KYLE..the best long snapper in the league. Most underrated pos in football. ASK th NYG-Men

Exactly. I've heard enough on "potential". It's a great word, spells nicely, even has "po" in it. However, it is a useless word without any action behind it.

My view is, UNTIL Robinson beats out Jones, don't be stupid and not sign him back.

"well, ya see, we have this guy. He catches the ball, maybe a 4th or 5th WR, and he might return the ball pretty well. So I tihnk we'll just cut a top 5 returner for the potential of this other guy. Superbowl, here we come!"

Anyhow, I realize he has potential and is faster.. we can mentally masturbate over him running back for TD's, but until he gets on the field and is as good as Jones, why in the hell would you cut Jones?

That's like saying, "Hey, we got Jarrett, let's get rid of Keyshawn."

Oh, wait... That did happen, didn't it? Turned out well that year too. Off field, behind scenes(locker room), SPECULATION aside, we really could have kept our proven guy and let our rookie get better.

So I tihnk we'll just cut a top 5 returner for the potential of this other guy.

:rolleyes5:

i agree that we should hold onto Jones.. if he can be had for a similarly cheap price.. but lets not go overboard and act like he is a probowler or anything..

Jones is a solid returner that averages 24yds a KO and 11yds a PR (38th in NFL)

Give Robinson the same blocking that Jones got last year, and he will be just as good, or better, and he has more potential as a WR.

As a return man, I think his health will determine his success.

As a receiver, I think the presence of Steve Smith will determine his opportunity.

If he overestimates his recovery from injury, it will be obvious in his capacity to return, because those plays are so physically demanding. Meanwhile, can we expect rookie Mark Jones to improve over last year?

I have difficulty believing that Carolina would bet the farm on a tandem of relatively small receivers like Smith and Robinson. But maybe duos and tandems aren't the plan.

You can count me in the camp who says Smith's retirement in Charlotte is not a given. The day he punched Lucas in the face, I hung that one out to dry.

Ryne is a friend of mine and I expect him to be in tip top shape going into TC. He said averything is 100% on his knee. He has been in FL with his trainer getting back into shape for the past 3 weeks. He is excited about playing this year as he said it was very hard to sit out last season.

That's good news. Stay optimistic, have heart, and keep up the hard work. Those are the things that count the most.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
