Jason Avant on his Touchdown


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Jason Avant is quickly becoming one of my favorite Panthers. I cannot recall ever speaking to a more personable player.

 

In the locker room after the game, he took almost zero credit for his touchdown. "The offensive line did a great job in pass protections all day" Avant remarked. "Great throw by Cam, tried my best to get in, that was it."

Avant is also clearly happy to be catching passes from Cam Newton. Newton had an increase in audibles at the line over previous seasons "He got rolling in the second half. We made our adjustments at half time. He did a great job getting us in the right play. That's all you can ask for."

 

Avant currently has only a one year 1.05 million dollar deal with Carolina. He is an unrestricted free agent in 2015.

 

Hopefully the Panthers are interested in locking Avant in on a longer term deal. His positive impact both on and off the field are well worth the investment.

I would think that extra scratch when C.J restructured would help with players like him.If he keeps producing he may have an extension by the 2nd half of the season.DG knows talent, who to keep and who to let WALK

aka: the whole WR crew from last year

I would really like to see him stick here.

I would rather see a core of reliable veteran receivers stick around for a few years for Cam. Year in and year out with new guys isn't an ideal situation.

Oh I agree. If we can't keep him though, I'd rather it be because someone else dumps money on him.

But yeah, ideally we can convince him to hang around. Both for the good of the team and because he's a good guy to root for.

I am thinking about Decoud too.  He might need to be extended because you see how Pittsburgh did Mitchell.  That break up on the Megatron play looked routine to him.

If there was any doubt about the value of character guys on your roster that ought to have vanished. Classic character/fundamentally sound/ savvy veteran example in Avant. In certain ways he and Cotchery are alike, and once the chemistry fully develops with Cam, I think folks will be very satisfied with them.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
