Panthers sign CB Robert McClain

He was my prediction for who we would bring in. Had a couple solid years in the slot for ATL. I imagine a Lou Young move if it were to happen wouldn't happen until Friday or Saturday so there is less of a chance of someone picking up the guy we cut if we want to try and grab him back following the Giants game.

If I recall correctly, McClain was playing pretty well for the Falcons (and maybe another team) after he left us.

He played really well for the Falcons in 2012.  I remember that.  Know he was with the Patriots too at some point.

IIRC, he primarily played nickleback.  Guessing they signed Lou Young to play outside and Mcclain to play inside

Very possible (re: waiting on any Lou Young move until the weekend), after all he can already practice with the team...  That's what we did when we temporarily waived Horton before resigning him.

    • there seems to be a change or two in his personnel preferences.  For example, the safeties.  Another example:  the smallish NTs are out and 330 is back! 
    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.
