Good insight Vegas.If anything, I believe the signing of Foster increases the value of Shelton. Foster signed a big enough contract that the Panthers won't be going RB in the draft early, Foster will eventually get hurt again since he hasn't played an entire season without missing multiple games since his High School years (if even that), and Stephen Davis is gone so won't have to share any carries with him.I say He's done.
It's anybody's guess as to what you're gonna get out of Shelton, but his value is as high where he is in his situation presently in Carolina than it would be anywhere else.

That logic makes sense. Shelton will see a reduced level of competition for carries. He could actually get some goal line duties.That is true only until Carolina drafts a RB in April. If that RB is drafted anywhere in Rounds 1-4 Shelton won't see the light of day IMO.Good insight Vegas.If anything, I believe the signing of Foster increases the value of Shelton.

He hasn't looked good in pre-season or in practice. For a man as big as he is, he's not hitting people. They want him to move the pile and he's not getting it done. I think there was an article on him in this weeks Charlotte Observer stating as much. I don't think he'll have a problem making the team, but I wouldn't look for him to get significant work unless a lot of people go down to injury.Now, having said that, the same article went on to say that DeAngelo Williams has yet to really wow the staff during practice or pre-season as well. Other than the 1-20 yard run he's been consistently blah. He got a couple carries with the first team against Jacksonville and didn't do much. Take it for what it's worth though, J'ville has a stout D. The guy people have been raving about is Alex Haynes. Undrafted FA who's really done well in pre-season and in camp. Could be the Justin Fargas syndrome though as he's been running against 2nd and 3rd team defenses.
