I'm just saying, the Hester WR experiment failed. I dunno how much ATL paid for him, but if the Panther had gotten him, he wouldn't fill a WR need

And big name free agents don't always work out. Look at Nnamdi when he went to Philly.

he's got a cool haircut

3/21/2014 12:25:58 PM

Really? He had some good games last year with Glennon throwing to him. He's no worse than LaFell at least.

3/21/2014 12:37:28 PM

He's fast. I just meant I don't know who he is. I didn't pay attention to the bucs

3/21/2014 12:42:34 PM

I think this is a smart pickup as long as they don't overpay. He has good hands and is pretty fast.

Don't forget that after the draft new players may become available and there will be some quality players cut from other teams before week 1

3/21/2014 1:07:02 PM

Underwood is a good bargain-bin signing. He can get open deep.

Cason has talent. He looked legit for a year under Rivera in San Diego before the wheels came off. With a strong front-7 and some safety support (get well soon, Godfrey), he can be the kind of aggressive corner the Panthers need. He's a bit of a gambler but he can rack up interceptions if he knows that the ball is coming out in a hurry. Just don't expect him to play on an island.

eh. he took a deal for lots of money to play in a defensive scheme that was completely opposite the style of play that suited him. they shouldn't have pursued him in the first place.

3/21/2014 3:39:37 PM

I still don't understand the Harper signing in the least, but the other signings make sense as replacements for the guys that left

We signed QB/WR Joe Webb today. He's the guy that a lot of people cheated with in Fantasy football 3 years ago when he started at QB for the Vikings but could be put into a WR slot.

Hard to say if he is going to be on the team when the season kicks in, looks like they want him to be Cam during the OTAs

Desean Jackson was just outright cut by the Eagles......

3/28/2014 1:35:30 PM

don't even think about it

3/28/2014 1:40:04 PM

^^my thoughts exactly


But didn't we drop smith because of his potential to be a locker room distraction ?? Desean's character is exceptionally questionable and he carries himself like a self entitled teenager punk. Talent is through the roof, but I am torn if the upside is worth the just as likely downside. We certainly need a guy with his ability now.

this is the first I'm ever hearing of gang relation. Something is afoot

3/28/2014 1:49:33 PM

Smith got cut because he's a locker room prick and ended the least productive season of his career limping off the field. Jackson has 3-4 years of his prime left, no injury, and is coming off his best season as a pro. Not really comparable.

3/28/2014 2:00:02 PM

guys as young/talented/valuable as him don't get outright cut over nothing

""We'd be interested. He's an intriguing player and we'll take a look at him,'' Panthers HC Ron Rivera told USA TODAY Sports from the West Coast. "I just got word and this is surprising to hear. He's an explosive player who has great vertical speed and is strong going to the ball.""

3/28/2014 2:02:41 PM

IMO, I think the gang stuff is a smokescreen. He came out after their playoff loss asking for money, which probably rubbed management the wrong way. Then they started floating this gang crap to try and play hardball with him. After the trade rumors started floating, it became clear he wasn't going to be an Eagle next year and it was just a waiting game for him to be released. Basically, the Eagles are run by a bunch of fucking idiots.

I mean, for fucks sakes, there is a video of Ray Rice knocking his gf out and the Ravens publicly went to bat for him. NFL teams don't give a shit about alleged affiliations with a gang 3000 miles away.

3/28/2014 4:17:32 PM

Yeah, all that really tells me is that Richardson still has quite a bit of say in personnel decisions. You're telling me we won't even give a token offer to an All-pro caliber player at a position of need? Dude hasn't even been accused of anything. I doubt we ever had a legitimate shot at meeting his asking price, but "no interest" is a seriously short sighted stance.

3/28/2014 4:22:13 PM

carolina isn't giving that man ANY money. we saved that for running backs

He got cut because of his bad attitude, salary, greed for more salary, and most importantly his relationship with his coaches. They had to use an intermediary to speak with him because he had such a shitty relationship with the coaches. In addition, due to this poor relationship he wasn't a top notch route runner and they saw it as risky to pass to him in the red zone as often as they would have liked to.

putting the fact that we couldn't afford him aside, dude was a pro bowl player in his prime who was just straight up released. there is no bigger indication that something is terribly wrong than that.
