6 months ago: Carolina Panthers' coach John Fox talks with the media after football minicamp on Friday, May 1, 2009 in Charlotte, N.C. (AP Photo/Rick Havner)

The 2009 Panthers roster has started to settle and while there are many unknowns there are several things we do know. Taking into account the likely starters, the remaining question is how does the rest of the team stack up. Currently the team has around 85 signed players, which means-like it or not-32 players will have to be cut. Here is a first look at our possible 53 man roster.

Star-divide

The biggest unknown at this point are the lines, both defense and offense, so I fully admit this is where the most changes are likely to come. However, with the rest of the roster so close to set, who goes? My first thought with the lineup below is possible more depth on either line. Since we very rarely use a 5 WR set there isn't much need for all of them, so in my opinion this is where the first causality would be. Plus with the addition of Mike Goodson, he could possibly step in as WR as needed. I would guess it will be either Jason Carter or Ryne Robinson. With the promise that Jason Carter showed last year and the addition of several possible KR/PR I would say Ryne Robinson is the first one to go. I'm sure others will disagree.

So let the discussion begin.

Very close to what I've been projecting

I see OT Codagan sticking on the active roster (unless he’s just awful in camp) as he’d probably get snapped up if the Panthers tried to pass him through waivers to the Practice Squad.

Center Geisinger is probably a drop since Mackenzie got some work at C last year. I’d bet on C/G C.J. Davis being put on the practice squad as backup for that position.

OT Schwartz could kept on the practice squad, like last year, as Travelle Wharton can cover a tackle position for an injury during a game.

LB Heygood just might get a spot on the roster as a special teams player, in the Dante Wesley-type role, and might actually grow into a contributor on defense as he learns the LB position.

CJ Davis and Codagan

Those two were the hardest to currently figure out. I would agree Codagan has a good chance to make the roster and CJ davis will probably make the practice squad.

by LittleKing on May 2, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

+1

My thoughts exactly. Cadogan and Heygood both should make it. Do you think we need 3 TE’s? I know we tried with King but got nowhere….

by GMallory on May 3, 2009 3:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

3 TE

that’s a good question. I don’t know, but I think Fox would be hard pressed to have 3 TE and 2 FB. After some more thought, I think two of each could work out well.

by LittleKing on May 4, 2009 2:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kenny Moore

Granted I am a bit biased being a Wake student, but Kenny Moore is a competitor. If he doesn’t make the 53-man roster this year, he will next year. He has got too much heart not to.

by Griffinmc7 on May 2, 2009 11:57 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Good Job LittleKing

I read your 53 man roster thinking I put it together. There might be a couple of changes like Moore over Carter or Codagan over Schwartz, though I think Codagan would be safer on the PS rather than Schwartz who already has a year in the NFL now and looks promising.

by meanoreno on May 3, 2009 1:19 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Misspelled

I think I spelled Gerald’s last name incorrect, instead of it being codagan, I believe the correct spelling is cadogan.

by meanoreno on May 3, 2009 1:48 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

League-wide...

I’d guess Cadogan is more favored. Schwartz is more valuable to our team having played a year in our system than he is to the league as a whole.

by MichaelProcton on May 3, 2009 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Moore vs Carter

I admit I don’t know much about Moore, but I think Carter showed to much potential last year to be easily dismissed.

by LittleKing on May 4, 2009 9:38 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Right...

and with the benefit of actually being here for TC, Moore might get that opportunity to impress you himself.

The more quality we have to choose the better the final product will be.

looks good, now let's get Peppers in camp

Glad to see my man Teal makes it. A bit disappointed that Birmingham and Wesley don’t look to make it, though.

Time for Peppers to realize that this is cap era football, and not baseball. He just can’t go to the Yankees or Red Socks.The Panthers have hamstrung themselves with Peppers and Delhomme contracts, and are going to have to win with that restriction.

What in the bloody hell?

A baseball reference? Baseball?!? Who even understands that reference? Not me. As far as I can tell, baseball players get paid bonkers amounts of money to mostly stand around in a grass field all day. God, I hate that sport. “Sport.” Yeah, whatever.

by r3 on May 3, 2009 11:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, baseball.

Because they don’t have a hard cap, teams can spend ridiculous amounts of money, and corner all of the talent. Peppers can’t get away with that in the NFL.

As much as teams might covet him, no one can afford him (with the cap).

by panthersnbraves on May 4, 2009 12:19 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I like it

Its a pretty good schwag and its way too early to be too sure of any of the bubble players. The Panthers would probably prefer to take 8 OL and Geisinger could be left off. I would like to see us take 5 DT’s into the season but can’t decide who the 5th would be. I could see Anderson getting beat out by a rookie LB that excels in kick coverage. I could see Schwartz betting beat out by Cadogan or even Palmer. I would probaly then leave Wesley on the roster if we can’t find an adequate replacement ‘gunner’ for kick coverage. Also, I wonder if since Richard Marshall is moving to outside CB if he will drop of the coverage team. Who would replace him? Munnerlyn? Martin?

If the Panthers hold to form they will cut bait with a couple vets as they did last year with Evan Mathis and Rashad Butler.

...

Both of whom are still on rosters. Pre-draft, Butler was the Texans’ #3 OT, and Mathis was the Bengals’ #3 OG.

by MichaelProcton on May 3, 2009 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just two things...

I think Cadogan would be able to make it over Gesienger, who we could probably store on the PS if we like him.

Also, with both Wesley and Wilson having experience at S and CB, that gives us some flexibility in the secondary. I’d say one guy could get cut between Wesley, Munnerlyn, Salley, and Teal.

by MichaelProcton on May 3, 2009 3:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

You're onto something

I think you maybe onto something with the secondary. If the rookies can impress especially on special teams then I think Salley or Teal get cut first. Since we know their style of play, if the rookies show promise and more “upside” then they could have the upper hand.

Of course Fox does have loyalty to his vets, but does that extend to the backups players. I’m not so sure.

by LittleKing on May 4, 2009 9:30 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've never seen much in Teal...

He’s a decent ST player, but I don’t think I’d like to see him playing any defense.

by MichaelProcton on May 4, 2009 10:43 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree...

Teal has been so-so. A rookie who impresses in camp could bump him. I’m not as sure about Salley though. He’s seen playing time before, both on special teams and with the defense as a backup safety getting pressed into service because of injury. I’d imagine Fox would keep him around and try to squeeze one of the impressive rookies onto the practice squad instead of releasing him.

Fox and Upside

Fox likes have some versatility and having people that he can grow into the system. Teal (NO) we don’t need him. I think we will keep Salley though.

You don’t get made a projected Week 1 starter because the staff thinks you’re not goo.d

by MichaelProcton on May 5, 2009 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think the interesting thing to think about at this point

which Jaxon touched on a bit, is not the specific players who will make it, but the number of roster spots allocated to the different positions. I don’t think anyone could have predicted how many LBs we’d keep last year.

So, LK, I look at the list that you’ve put together, and I’m really only struck by one thing.

3 backup interior linemen? Seems like a lot, even if they aren’t all going to be on the weekly 45. My guess is we’d stick with two backups: one G, one C/G. That just seems to fit their strategy.

I think that extra spot carries over to DT, or possibly to LB (aka special teams).

But that’s my take. Great work on this, LK. Good fun speculating until something interesting actually happens again.

by r3 on May 3, 2009 11:59 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Excellent points

The number of roster spots given to each position is the ultimate key. The Panthers don’t traditionally carry two FB so it will be interesting to see if they do this year. Plus 5 WR seems excessive for the Panthers.

I would agree that Cadogen is bubble player and probably CJ Davis for the OL. I would also agree my lineup could use another DT but wasn’t sure who to keep out. From this first week of minicamp it looks like Favorite and Oshinowo could the two closest to the bubble.

by LittleKing on May 4, 2009 9:25 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Remember...

that Brayton and Johnson both have experience moving in to play DT. Brayton, particularly, could be viewed as a swing guy who can go in there on any down with the addition of Brown to the roster. I doubt Oshinowo will make the team…you’d think somebody would have snapped him up if he was anything other than a big body. Favorite was given the top signing bonus of any UFA…I guess a lot of people thought he was going to make something of himself?

2 things

First of all, baseball references in this blog are considered obscenities, and will not be tolerated. I’m so upset.

Also, I fully expect Peppers to be on someone else’s team in the next few weeks. Recent SB winners have shown the importance of a pass rusher, and there are a few teams who think they are one double digit sack specialist away from a championship. They will find a way to get him, and I beleive he will not be on our team come trainng camp.

by usana_gaines on May 4, 2009 5:42 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Honestly I don't want to lose Pep at this point

If I couldn’t get a pick our 2 from this draft then I’d rather him play. Since he’s still playing for a new contract I would expect him to be motivated to play at a high level. Besides, could we tell the difference between a motivated vs unmotivated Peppers? Maybe statistically but not in the way he carries himself on or off the field.

lol on the baseball references. I agree they rarely translate though not so upset about!

Peter King's Opinion on Peppers

“I think Julius Peppers is going nowhere, for one simple reason: Not only would a team have to pony up a first-round pick in 2010 (at least) in return for the Panthers’ defensive end who wants out, but then he’d have to be paid somewhere in the $12-million-to-$16-million range annually. And he’s not worth both of those things.”

by panthersnbraves on May 4, 2009 7:48 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Corrected if for ya...
but then he’d have to be paid somewhere in the $12-million-to-$16-million range annuall. And he’s not worth both either of those things."

It seems like he’s not even worth 1 1st round based on the draft last week and lack of interest, you always overvalue your own players…

In fact I’m glad he DIDN’T sign the panthers contract offer to become the highest paid Defensive player, he doesn’t even give a crap!

by ClaytonFire on May 4, 2009 9:57 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

His agent is going to look like an idiot (if he doesn't already)

Let’s say he has an average year and still doesn’t sign along-term with the Panthers. They don’t tag him this so he walks. He will not make near the $ he would have made if he signed long-term with the Panthers or if he had already signed his tender and let the Panthers trade him. Just stupidity at this point IMO.

by Jaxon on May 4, 2009 12:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just throwing this out there...

But I think he could end up in Denver. They want to be a 3-4 team, but don’t have the outside rushers to get it done…

next year

Peppers has got to realize that he isn’t going anywhere until he signs the tender. Peter King was wrong. Teams are willing to pay Peppers that much. Look at recent SB winners and you see the value of a pass rusher. Some teams who haven’t seen him too much will also just take a look at his Pro Bowl performance. But no team is going to give up their 1st rd pick for 2010 and 2011. That’s the current price to sign him away from us. But teams would be willing to give him a contract in the neighborhood of Haynesworth’s contract, and give up a 1st and maybe a 3rd, or 1st one year and 2nd or 3rd in 2011. They also know our asking price for him is much less than 2 #1s. So if Pep wants to move, he has to sign the tender. It seems like he’s intent to hold out the season. We can’t offer him anything more, so he can take it or leave it. I really want him gone.

by usana_gaines on May 4, 2009 12:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

They CAN negotiate a lower price

Just like the Vikings did through Allen’s agent before he got traded.

by MichaelProcton on May 4, 2009 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

These conversations keep coming back to Peppers, don't they?

You know, one thing that’s never talked about when it comes to that unsigned tender is Peppers’ desire to only play for a couple of teams, and what that actually means for him. Think about it from his perspective.

He’s on a good team. He only has five teams he’d be willing to move to, and if those trades can’t be worked out, worst case scenario he ends up back on the good team. That way there’s no chance of a trade to Detroit or Cincinatti, which might offer better packages than New England or Philly. So from his perspective, coming back here is better than most other options. But if he signs that big long-term, cap-saving deal, there’s zero chance of going to one of those select few other teams.

Not stupid at all, in my estimation.

by r3 on May 5, 2009 10:43 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well,

even if Pep signed his tender way back when it was placed on him, teams like the Lions and Bengels (just the ones you mentioned) would probably (99.9%) not be able to trade for him anyway. The team in question would need Pep to want to be there because of the “long-term contract” issue. The other team would not want to keep franchising him for the same reasons way so many fans have been bickering about Pep for the past few months.

I agree with most of the projected roster, but with the following comments...

1) I think the Panthers probably drop Justin Geisinger as a backup C/G and rely more on Mackenzy Bernadeau to provide that role. That frees them up to then keep CJ Davis or a another player at a different position instead. Basically, Geisinger is expendable because of Bernadeau. And, by letting Geisinger go, we get to go “shopping” for one of the other players on the chopping block. Of course, they could also drop Bernadeau and keep Geisinger, but I just have a feeling it’ll be Bernadeau.

2) I think the Panthers keep Gerald Cadogan over Geoff Schwartz. We went after Cadogan pretty heavily and outbid several other teams to pick him up as an undrafted free agent. As long as he doesn’t screw up badly in training camp, I have him penciled in as as a backup OT. And of course, Wharton also serves as another LT with lots of experience if we need him there. These versatile linemen are a great luxury for the Panthers, but still would have been nice if we could have kept Geoff Hangartner in the mix instead of losing him to free agency.

3) I think the Panthers might try to sneak Captain Munnerlyn onto the practice squad so they can further develop him. And that would let them keep an experienced backup and special teams player in Dante Wesley on the roster instead. Regardless of which way they go, there should be some serious competition for the extra DB spot. Another possibility also exists. If the Panthers want to keep BOTH Munnerlyn and Wesley for special teams and the backup DB roles, the extra spot provided by letting Justin Geisinger go could be used for that instead.

4) It’s a shame to see Decori Birmingham and Jamall Lee get cut. I don’t think there’s any way we can sneak Lee through waivers. But if we could, he’d be a GREAT player to have on the practice squad in case we needed to call him up. Unfortunately, there are just too many other teams that have an interest in the kid for that to happen. I suspect Decori Birmingham would likely get picked up as soon as we released him, too.

5) Do we keep two FBs on the active roster? Again, I don’t think there’s any way we can sneak Fiammetta through waivers to keep him on the practice squad…nor would we want to. And, given that he’s played special teams before in college and the all-around best prospect at his position in this year’s draft, I think he gets a spot.

Just my nickel’s worth,
—Neil

by NSpicer on May 4, 2009 6:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Dunno about Lee or Birmingham getting claimed...

I think both are PS-worthy, but I doubt either will show enough in the PS to get claimed to a 53-man roster. I do think Fiammetta might, and I agree that he will probably contribute more than Birmingham or Lee could on ST.

by MichaelProcton on May 4, 2009 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Is Decori Birmingham still eligible...

…to be put on the PS if we cut him during the roster trim down? It seems like he’s been out there for awhile. He was signed as an undrafted FA by New England back in 2005. And you can only be on the PS for 3 years.

—Neil

by NSpicer on May 4, 2009 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think so...

He was never on a PS in ‘06-’07, so this should still be his third year on a PS.

by MichaelProcton on May 5, 2009 5:01 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Awesome...

I just assumed because of how long he’d bounced around the league that he wouldn’t be eligible again. If he is…and if we can sneak him onto the PS…that would make for some decent insurance at the RB position in case we had to call him up due to injury.

by NSpicer on May 5, 2009 9:34 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think Geisinger gets cut

He’s the only one they have for OL depth that has NFL game time experience. Bernadeau first began practicing to play center during last years TC and preseason, so he’s extremely raw at the position.

“The biggest name of the bunch was former Washington, Buffalo and Tennessee center Justin Geisinger, a former sixth-round draft pick from Vanderbilt. At 6-foot-2, 317 pounds, he’s a physical player, better suited for the middle. He has played in six games, with no starts. "
http://www.heraldonline.com/247/story/1302849.html

As for who makes it against Schwartz or Cadogan, it’s hard to say, but I’m leaning more towards Schwartz. The Panthers obviously felt he was good enough to draft and I don’t think his performance during last seasons TC and preseason has diminished ther opinion of him. The Panthers also put a lot of stock into experience and Schwartz already has a year of learning their system. I don’t put any stock into where draft boards had a player going, but rather what the teams and scouts thought about drafting a player instead. With this said, I won’t be surprised if Cadogan makes it over Schartz or anyone else either. It’s going to depend on how they do in TC and preseason.

by meanoreno on May 4, 2009 11:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You know, if nothing else...

…It’s actually a good thing to have this problem with which OL to keep. That way, going into training camp, there’s lots of competition for the backup roles. And, if anyone should get seriously injured, they’ve got the luxury of still having one of these other guys around.

by NSpicer on May 5, 2009 9:32 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

As far as Peppers goes...

I suspect Julius will sit out minicamp, the OTAs, and possibly part or all of training camp. But, even after all that, he’ll come to play for us. He’s got to play in at least 6 games to maintain his eligibility as a UFA for next year. And, he needs to showcase his skills again to get other teams to stay interested enough in him to not only trade for him, but also to pay him the big money contract he wants.

I don’t think Peppers will sit out all that stuff just to posture or somehow purposefully “harm” the Panthers, though. Most players hate training camp. And, if you don’t have to be there (contractually-speaking), why go? You could risk injury (which would be a major deal if that happened right before you hoped to make it through the next season and come out on the other side as a UFA again). And you might even stay fresher (as some players claim who want to eliminate training camps) for the regular season (and thereby be better able to produce in a year when you really need to prove yourself again to attract attention).

Now, I don’t necessarily agree with all of those points. I just think that’s probably more of what goes through Peppers’ mind (and his agent’s possibly) as they consider sitting out training camp. If they pull that stunt, however, I think they risk a lot more. Peppers won’t have a chance to learn the new defensive schemes Meeks will be installing. He won’t be able to develop any synergy with his fellow D-linemen, including pass-rushing rookie Everette Brown. And, lastly, he risks turning away other teams from bidding for Peppers’ services when he does become a UFA again, because some teams may view him as too disruptive of a player with such antics.

So, it’s double-edged sword if he goes that route.

But that’s just my two-cents,
—Neil

Great!

If Jamall Lee can stick around with an international player exemption, that would be sweet!

I agree on Teal, Schwartz, and Geisinger. They’re probably on the bubble. But Geisinger may stick around if they opt to cut Bernadeau.

As for Ryne Robinson, I’m sure he’ll have a LOT of competition now on the KR/PR role. And I doubt he’s got any kind of early lead on making the team as a backup WR either. But who knows? Let’s see how Jason Carter does again in training camp and compare all these guys. Despite Mark Jones performance last year, I still don’t feel really good about the Panthers special teams. Rhys Lloyd and Mark Jones gave us the greatest shot-in-the-arm last season. But half of that remedy is gone and they need a viable return man and some decent tacklers/gunners on the coverage team.

And speaking of special teams, it’s going to be really interesting to see what they do at the LS position. Do we somehow convince Kyle to re-sign? Or Jansen or Sundberg going to be the answer. Whoever we go with…there’d better be some serious consistency or special teams could be really bad again on a botched snap.

Just my two-cents,
—Neil
