Panthers waive Kealoha Pilares, 11 others

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Ah man, I had high hope for Pilares when we drafted him. I had expected him to be a great slot weapon.

 

That 2011 draft, besides Cam, was fuging awful

Cam will be the only one left when Sione Fua gets cut next Saturday.

If this was the front offices thinking,  "cut him in the first round of cuts so teams don't think he very good".  It is actually kind of smart. 

 

I don't know for sure if that's what they were thinking, but it's the spin on the situation that I like the most, lmao.

 

He was quite productive in his short amount of reps.

Maybe Tennessee will pick up Pilares to replace the lazy, dumb and rock handed Hunter??? lol  He's probably better even with a bum ACL. 

 

I also don't expect any of these guys back in any way what so ever, not even on PS. The games aren't all that matter, plus for fringe roster spot guys the ability to play ST is a must. So that's the biggest factor for most of these guys. Only reason Pilares was cut was the injury, it was probably going to be Adams getting cut prior to that.

I mean, that's the grand question. Why would The Panthers cut their best pass rusher this preseason over Roh... and keep around Fua. I don't get it. Furthermore, how many snaps did Nzegwu play the other night? I think only saw him on 3-4 snaps.

 

 

Probably didn't play well enough in practice to get a high amount of snaps, either that or Roh and the other players provide more versatility over Nzegwu. ST play, multiple positions....ext...

TIL players on IR still count against the salary cap. Give them there injury settlements and let them go.

Not fully. I believe it's only half their salary.

If that clause is included in the contract. It is an optional clause. Either way, every penny counts for a few seasons.

It was expected. Pilares was as good as gone as soon as Adams was brought in. Gettis producing only sealed his fate.

I just can't agree with getting rid of zordich. Dudes gonna be a baller next year. The other two I could care less about although I wish them the best.

Just looked it up, you're right, it is a clause usually included in UDFA an late round picks contracts.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Just because we do not retain them, doesn't mean we can't bring them in next year. I am assuming we have the same chances as everyone else
