joe person is reporting Lester is on the practice squad.

How, when Lester played in 12 games last year..

New 2014 rule from the NFL

....

"Each club will be permitted to sign a maximum of two Practice Squad players who have earned no more than two accrued seasons of free agency credit. "

didn't practice squad eligibility change this season? does that make a difference with lester at all? even then, not much point to putting him on the practice squad. panthers are well aware of his abilities. he looked worse this preseason than he did last season.

Sorry it was Florence we cut him at final cuts then brought him back after the Bills game.

We needed a veteran that knew what the fug he was doing. Lester is not that. Would not be surprised if we picked him back up if we can't find anyone better though. But we are going to look for a better option because gettleman aint no dumb dumb

I understand that but Lester is young and still has a lot of upside. He was good in coverage last year the few games that he started. Yes he's looked terrible this offseason but he can still improve.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
