Special Teams (6/5):
K: Graham Gano
P: Brian Nortman, Matt Wile
PR: Ted Ginn
KR: Jordan Todman
LS: JJ Jansen
Comments:
- QB I love Joe Webb but a 3rd QB is simply a luxury we cannot afford with so much depth elsewhere that might be needed on the field
- RB: With Todman at KR we only need to keep the top 3 RBs
- FB/TE: After seeing the offense struggle without Mike Tolbert last season I think the Panthers keep 2 FBs leaving Richie Brockel the odd man out.
