I wonder if this is a nod to Norwell?  Trai Turner isn't going anywhere, so that only leaves one Guard position left...

I'd say it is for depth/camp body more than anything. Panthers are high on Norwell and they should be.

Good signing. I wanted him coming out of college. Should replace Amini as our backup.

Hog Molly.

Norwell isn't going anywhere. The only lineman that we have that needs to be put on notice at this time is Remmers.

Dave Gettleman is busy handling business behind the scenes. I didn't even know that players could sign a "future" contract, basically allowing an unsigned player at the end of the season get on a roster for the next season even though it hasn't officially begun yet. In any event, as you would imagine, most of these players aren't very well known, but a couple were mid-late round picks, like Yankey. As such, I am sure some Huddlers wouldn't mind any information provided by someone who is actually familiar with any of these guys. Of course these low level signings can easily be ascribed to our camp-body mental file, but it seems a bit too easy to think that they are all destined to be camp bodies. It only takes one to rise up for the early-bird dumpster diving to be worth it. In addition to Yankey, your future prospects are as follows:

• Cobi Hamilton, WR
• Tyler Larsen, G
• Matt Masifilo, C
• Larry Webster, DE
• Eric Crume, DT
• Travel Dixon, CB

4 20 high?

I believe Yankey played Center some, as well. Could be  gearing up for the inevitable parting of Kalil (through retirement or contractual problems).

I want to see him pancake someone just to be able to say "Damn, Yankey".

[csx]

We do need backups you know?

This is for a 90, not a 53 y'all

I hope to be one eventually. Born and raised in NY but my home is NC. Both kids in college at App St and NC St. Someday I'll get back there. If I win the powerball, I will open a Damn Yankee BBQ in Charlotte modeled after my hometown Dinosaur BBQ.
