Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

[url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3241317]ESPN - Panthers release former first-round pick Morgan, guard Wahle - NFL[/url]

Both of these guys are good players, Wahle has a lot of upside & probably at least a few good years left in him.

Morgan might be worth, dare I say, a vet min. deal!!! :)

I was hoping someone would start this thread

Dan Morgan is too much of an injury risk. Wahle, as I mentioned in the Booker-Green thread, is definitely someone worth taking a look at in my humble opinion

hell no on morgan he has NEVER played a 16 game season. Wahle plays guard who is he going to replace?

I'm too awesome to be humble :) (that's the Madden Warpath 2008 World Champion Dirtbags' motto-Too Awesome to Be Humble)

Kendall will be 35 years old when the season starts, would be good to get someone a bit younger in there like Wahle as support

I think Wahle could be brought in to compete for Kendall's spot, if not he can compete w/L. Alexander (if they move him to O full time) et al that are vying for roster spots as back ups.

I agree on Morgan for the most part, but as a 2nd string MLB he might be able to contribute. No way he takes Fletcher's spot, but he might fill in well on some packages. Of course, he'd probably have to earn his stripes on teams. don't know that he could beat out Campbell & I certainly don't think they'd cut Blades as he's a work in progress for the future.

tomorrow morning i got to get everything str8ened out been a hectic week.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

We must be in much worse shape than I thought we were! Wahle is the only player we should even be discussing(Morgan, Green, Booker give me a break). Wahle is most likely going to look for a starting opportunity and he probably should be starting somewhere for that matter. We can't afford a veteran guard that will cost the kind of money Wahle will get. Pete Kendall is the starter(We can't afford to cut Kendall and or play him as a backup) so his backup needs to be young not old. That's how a properly functioning team does it at any rate.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

That's a lot of ink between those 2. I would look at Wahle as a backup and forget Morgan, the man can't stay healthy.

Very realistic point.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

I know we've been down this path before with the oline...aka Wade...but.
Is there anyway Kendall can be a highly valuable backup for all Oline slots?

That kind of money is high for a backup..but not if he can play all spots.
In essence, we'd have 6 starters.

(dont kill me, I know guards and tackles are completely different skill sets....but I want to know based on what you've seen of Kendell if he can pull off Tackle)

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

Morgan is good but his concussion problems are serious...cant touch him....cant touch Trent Green

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

I worked for the Panthers the year they drafted Morgan. On paper the guy was a beast! They were so stoked about him, especially the day we drafted him. The Richardsons really thought he would help turn the franchise around and make them a contender year in and out. It is a shame that injuries kept him from ever living up to that potential.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

So what's the scoop on Wahle? Was he just released b/c of his cap number? At 30, he still has some tread left and (sad to say) would add some youth to the line. What kind of deal would we need to give him?

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

Well Wahle is a Seahawks

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

Well no Wahle and no way we sign Morgan

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

morgan would be a huge mistake. wahle could be a good backup for a couple years at 1mill or less per if we could have signed him.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

They're getting cut for a reason people. I'd leave both these guys alone.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
 

Dan Morgan gets one year deal with division rival Saints. (deal unofficial now). Should complete deal in next two days.

Re: Panthers cut LB Morgan, G Wahle
