Who is Carrington Byndom?

Recommended Posts

I have seen more than one person around these parts ask who Carrington Byndom is and wonder how he ended up on the Panthers regular roster.

 

 

Well here is the low down....

 

 

Byndom was signed as an UDFA corner this season (The Panthers have another UDFA on the roster? Shocking....)

 

 

He was listed at 5'11 and 177 pounds at his pro day, which is a bit lighter than he needs to be with his frame. It is unclear if he has picked up some weight over the past several months, but in a pro regimen its reasonable to think so.

 

 

Training Camp and Preseason Impressions:

 

Struggled early but seemed to improve as the weeks went on. Has the length and speed to play the position, but was a bit timid. Did not press well, and that is an understatement. Needed lots of work on his hands. Also, appeared to be a bit apprehensive to get in and get physical when needed against the run. Not a great tackler.

 

 

How has be progressed since then?

 

No one knows. In the portions of practice that would indicate his progress, media is locked out. So we will have to wait and see on Sunday if he plays well enough to stick around for 2015.

    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too. 
    • Man, that is a lot of guys that played meaningful snaps for us last year we are letting test free agency... Kind of worried we are going to lose Yosh
    • With his play the last few years, pretty sure he quit the league 4 or 5 years ago...
