Looks like Panthers have signed WR Kevin Norwood

^Yeah if it's anything more than a conditional pick, a big WTF to Gettleman. 

 

Hopefully that's all it is...and we continue to look for a WR after cuts/moar trades

[GRWatcher]

Dude played 77 snaps and could only get open on two of them and then they released him lol. 

He was their 4th round pick last year...   I mean, damn...   We gave Kugbila more time. 

He hasn't worked with Ricky "WR Whisperer" Proehl yet.

Do remember Ricky Proehl was high on Kevin Norwood last year. #Panthers could’ve used 7th-round pick on him if they had it.

The amount of over reaction to such a small transaction is just hilarious.

This wasn't a trade. He was released according to the Seattle Times. There was speculation in the media before training camp that Norwood might be the odd man out. The Hawks added quite a few new guys at WR.

Why int he world would we trade for somebody they were about to cut? Were we worried we might. Ot be able land this premiere talent in free agency?

Unlikely a wideout, only a year after being a fourth round pick, falls to 25 in waivers. Likely a late conditional pick based on whether he makes the roster. Think Barner.

what people don't realize is he was a panthers player all along sent under cover to the seahawks to spy on them. He played like butt on purpose and Carolina is bringing him back for nothing and now we have had someone on the inside so we will beat them this year. Also he is secretly a superstar WR

[Shermdog]

This guy is actually pretty good! He is a big guy who can catch. I remember wanting us to draft him. Its better than nothing and hopefully didn't cost much.

Seahawks trade Kevin Norwood to Carolina after initially were going to cut him.

Meh.  

Sounds like a decent dude with good hands, if he can get open.  Maybe Proehl can turn him into a #3. 

 

Yay. 

I look at these forums and I don't understand the Proehl stuff.  He hasn't done much.  KB is what he was in college, a freak that has drops often.  Brown can't catch.  Bersin isn't anything special.   Ginn is just a speedster with average hands, and always has been.  Cotchery took a nose dive when he came here.   We prop this guy up like we have a GB caliber receiving core but we're bottom 5 in the league and have been forever with this team.   I'm just trying to be realistic, I haven't really seen anyone develop enough to crown him the best receiving coach ever.

again welcome to 2015

Sounds like Gettleman landed a kid he would have drafted last year if not for the 2014 draft day trade.

Just goes to show you can't believe what you read in the newspaper.

I'll stay the f in here. Check twitter and welcome to the year 2015

I don't trust twitter.  Too many crazies.  Can't trust all that noise.  Huddle is my rock. Huddle always come through eventually, to some degree, with something that resembles reality-ish with breaking news....

nevermind, you probably right.
