No official word on Lynch. He’s not yet listed as waived.
That means the Panthers are going to use him this season on special plays. Just you wait and see. Besides, Rivera understands he is a franchise player. App Fans will watch Panther games just to see if he will get to play. I am excited for him.
Appfan,what do you mean "play" another season. I really wish the panthers would have let him go instead of squandering his talent.
If it shows dp as cut from chargers, did lynch make the team?
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! SO HAPPY FOR TRAVARIS AND AE! WAY TO GO, GUYS! I'M OVER-THE-TOP PROUD OF YOU!
Awesome. Hang in there DeAndre! One of my all time favorite Apps.
Legree was cut. Lunch still on the roster according to NFL.com
What are you guys talking about? Neither Panthers nor NFL have announced all the cuts yet. Tweets don't mean crap.
As much as I want to be excited for armanti, it is difficult. Most panthers fans hate him. Dont know why but they do. In years past I have come out of the preseason with high hopes, only to be disappointed. I think he played less in this preseason than any past. I don't think he has any wildcat plays planned. I think in camp, LaFell had a few wildcat plays. I'm tired of sitting on the edge of my seat hoping to see him in the game. Obviously he has greatly improved. After last night I was hoping he would get cut and picked up by a team that would use him. Not only as a receiver but also the occasional wildcat option. As much of a panthers fan as I would like to be, i know armanti will probably be on the bench again, with his tallest going to waste. Glad he will still be "local", just hope he gets some playing time.
Congrats to Cadet, and I hope deandre will find a home soon. Seems he had some success for the short amount of time he had to transition from college offense to NFL defense. He may get a roster spot before LeGree.(hope he finds a new home too)
Why are so many people “kinda” wishing he got waived. As much as we all love AE, there would be no guarantee he would of been picked up by anyone else. At least this way he is guaranteed to be on a team and another sweet pay check. Not to mention since its his last year and they kept him, he’s gonna get some chances to shine. Just my 2 cents.
Hard to shine on the bench. His opportunities to shine thus far have been dashed by Clowney '10, Nanee(?) '11, and "tutu" preseason '12. If they like AE enough to keep him, quit giving his spot to a revolving door of sub-par journeymen and give him some meaningful playing time with the first team, not Jimmy "throw it away while trying to scramble, but I'm really gonna fall, fumble or throw an int" Clausen.
The Rock speaks the truth! I was hoping AE would end up in the CFL as a star QB and return to the NFL as a star of the 2016 NFL spread offense of the "new NFL" (just wishing)
Carbine – "Tweets don't mean crap"
Because a Sports Anchor from a Charlotte TV station and 2 NFL teams' official Twitter accounts can't possibly be right…
Average CFL salary = $45,000
Quarterbacks typically make from $60K-$120K
NFL Practice squad players make $96K
Hope DP can end up on a practice squad…interesting to think three qbs from the 09 team could all be in the nfl and that they all changed positions.
Don't want to be a downer, but Armanti may just be keeping a spot warm for David Gettis.

AE on front page of the panthers site!
I only hope that they actually give him some playing time this year.
Clearly the Saints know what to do with a versatile player. Unlike the Panthers.
Clayton,
He may very well be holding a spot for Gettis. But, here's what impressive: He made the team as a WR against talent who had played their whole career at WR's. Sure, there were politics and other factors, but it would have been the easy way out for the Panthers to cut him loose.
All the negativity boils down to the draft pick. If he were the underdog, 6th round draft pick, he'd be the talk of the town. Amazing that he was the lead story on the cuts in the Observer, on News14 and on the Team Page on NFL. Of course the Observer has pulled the Tiger Woods/Tebow approach where they create news by building him up, tearing him down.
Cadet was a surprise and Presley will get picked up on someone's practice squad.
Congrads…to AE and Cadet.
I for one of many would Love to see AE play again and that is not likely with the Panthers.
Cadet in NOLA will play.
the rock
They hate him because of us. We really make some stupid claims about him to everyone that we can. Just read this thing we are on.
Presley was signed to the Miami Dolphins practice squad.
