Panthers cut James Anderson

[MHS831]

He is, but I think Carolina could get him back for a little over the minimum if they want/need to. Way cheaper than James.

Can he play OLB? MLB depth w/ Beason and Kuechly is probably not happening. I love Phillip's fire.

This helps explain why the Panthers scheduled a workout with Mizzou outside linebacker Zaviar Gooden (projected fourth rounder).

The play of Jason Phillips (if resigned) also made Anderson expendable.

Kalil told me we were going to win the superbowl last year

Don't ever go to Livermush's car lot ;)

The cap savings breaks down like this. If this is a normal cut...

2013: 200K

2014: 5.4M

2015: 5.4M

As a June 1st cut...

2013: 3M

2014: 2.6M

2015: 5.4M

So either way 11M total

I assure you Jason Philips and (is he still signed) Jason Williams can ram into blockers to free up Luke just as easily as James Anderson did.

What was his cap hit this year?

That totally would've happened if he didn't get hurt. Shame.

Makes a lot more sense for us to cut him now and get the help next year when we really need it.

Good work with cap stuff.

Anderson was pretty useless in 3-4 looks... just saying.

[The Golden Child]

I bet he lands on Denver

They did just release DJ Williams, James would fit well in that D. No matter, he's not a difference maker. James is a nice linebacker but we don't need him, he's expendable.

Stupid move, rework the contract, not cut the contract! 2 years ago has most tackles for team, yeah last year injured but really?

Talent gone... We had a great LB Group but we are working on getting rid of that.

We will see, gonna be a terrible move when we only have 2 healthy LB's like we have for the last few years...

so much for that 3-4
