Panthers Roster Bubble Watch & Early Predictions

so for that extra spot i would place terrence holt. i think he will make the team. also tim shaw is a good special teams guy i think he will might make the team just hard at the linebacker position.

I disagree about a whole lot of this. I’d say that, among the locks you list, Basanez, Toefield, Jarrett, Hayden, Lloyd and Colclough are all bubble players, none of them locks, whose spots on the team are dependent on numbers at other positions, and the talent level at their own position.

There’s no way we carry five DTs into next season, and there’s no way we only carry 6 DBs. We have a long history of carrying 8 DL into the season, starter/backup at each spot, with 7 active on gameday (it’s a personal point of frustration for me, the lack of DL rotation). I’m guessing we carry 8 DBs: 4 CBs, 4 Safeties. A lot of those guys will play special teams, but I don’t think you can have only one backup for 2 Safety spots.

And really, not a single FB on your team? Not even Hoooooov?

And, just as a point of interest, Schwartz was beaten like a rented step child every time I saw him in the two practices I attended.

It’s obvious I didn’t double check this very well. Hoover is in there now (I knew I was forgetting somebody) You make a good point on the safeties. I had Q-Teal in there early on but removed him and forgot about a 4th safety. So if you put Holt back in there I’m not sure who you take out. Are you saying 8 DB’s not counting Colclough? Of course he could get cut if J-Stew is going to return kicks.
I think Fox will like having a kicker that can put it out of the end zone regularly so Lloyd sticks.
I’m pretty sure they will keep 3 QB’s with Basanez beating out Ricard.
I feel good about Toefield, Jarrett & Hayden but agree Schwartz could get beat out by Omiyale. That’s the first I’ve heard of him getting beaten regularly. Hilee Taylor could easily get cut as well.

I think one of Walker or Scott may be let go. With the idea being keeping them until the Panthers are sure on Hayden and also not letting any other team get either of the above guys unit the last possible moment. Also i think Holt will replace Wesley on the roster. Mathis may go or PUP list or IR if the Panthers dont want to lose him.

All in all though it wil be a tough call on some of the guys that are cut. I feel though it is a better potisition to be in though than not having enough talent to fill the roster. Plus those cut will more than likely catch on somewhere else.

On a side note does anyone know the rules for putting a player on the practice squad?
