--FS Deke Cooper played well after being tossed into the starting lineup following an injury to Nate Salley. Cooper may want to explore the market, but look for the Panthers to make a run at bringing him back.

--CB Curtis Deloatch was brought in as a fourth cornerback before injuring his knee. He is not considered a top priority.

--TE Christian Fauria was brought in to be a mentor to the younger tight ends on the roster. His job is done and at age 36 he may be ready to retire.
