carter cut, godfrey out, and Kevin Kaesviharn is in...

from gantt's twitter....

daringantt#Panthers sign S Kevin Kaesviharn, cut WR Jason Carter. FS Charles Godfrey had surgery today on broken right hand.

this should be interesting.

If his hand injury happened a while ago, perhaps that helps explain the poor play, esp. tackling.

how long..is godfrey out???

[rayzor]

no word yet. gantt was just beating everyone to the punch with the tweet. we'll find out more in a few minutes, i suppose.

i'm going to have to brush up on the new safety, though. he isn't unfamiliar to me but i want to get my facts straight on him.

carter getting cut is a heart breaker. hopefully he will get his chance somewhere. i don't even care if it is the UFL. i want that kid to succeed and a situation like that may be the best for him for the time being.

Kasvinharn isn't bad, i think he played for the Bengels but don't quote me on that, but I'd guess Teal has the inside track on the starting spot, might be an improvement, he definitely tackles better and his is average in coverage. I just don't know if he has the athleticism that Godfrey brings.

Carter is kind of a suprise but maybe they did it so he could hook up with another team and have another shot somewhere else.

Kaesviharn is even worse than Godfrey. Hope Godfrey will come back soon.

Although maybe I can't fault him for missing so many tackles if his hand was that messed up.

Well, this is great. =\

Hopefully Teal is an upgrade.

Kaesviharn was actually pretty darn good in '06 for the Bengals. Possible new starter?

surprised at the carter cut...there were a lot of other WR that i felt would get cut before him...

[Sam Mills Fan]

Kaesviharn was complete garbage for the Saints. He was released just a couple of years into a long-term contract and there's a reason why no team has signed him until now.

Oh well, I think he can be serviceable.

Ugh, we're going to out-Saints the Saints in the secondary at this rate...

Kaesviharn.....................................

Well, I'm glad to see we are avoiding the injury bug. Damn we are snake bitten.

But, what can you do when you throw all your eggs into the basket of 21 of 22 starters returning. Huge gamble thinking you'll make it through a whole season without key injuries.

Fox and Hurney rolled the dice.................................

seriously? how can anyone be worse than Godfrey? Pretty sure he broke it on Saturday, I will go back and watch b/c I think I remember a Panther looking like he hurt his hand.....pretty sure the hand can't be used as a scapegoat for last season and the preseason thus far.
