Panthers release LB Ben Jacobs

[Mr. Scot]

Per Field Yates.

Admittedly he's more special-teamer than linebacker, but he's stuck around with us for a while as an ST guy and depth.

Not really sure why you release someone who's set to be a free agent anyway but apparently we did.

Probably just a nicety to allow him to have a jump start on the market.

He was a pretty good ST player.. thanks for all you did good luck on the market.

[Black&BlueBubba]

Possible coach incoming. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Panthers have cut Ben Jacobs. But don’t be surprised to see the special teams regular back in a coaching role with the team. Panthers have an opening for an asst ST coach.

Hurney First Round Linebacker incoming 

[Mr. Scot]

I'd forgotten that position was still unfilled.

Every single year I didn't think this dude would make the cut over younger, faster LBs but he did. He must of had some intangible in the film room or in the ST huddle.

People get so caught up in drafted players but we drafted two LBs pretty early on last year that barely saw the field and was barely ever close to skill of TD,Shaq,Luke.

We saw Ben Jacobs make the cut over people like Jeremy Cash. Remember him? Tha Duke gawd? Pretty solid athlete and Jacobs was there every time. Pretty interesting.

Ben Jacobs talked a ton of poo and got into a minor fight at least once a game on kickoffs. Love the attitude.

I believe he lasted 5 years, which is a long time given he was one of "the invites" during rookie camp. Less than 1% chance to even make the team, much less stay for 5 years.

Good luck to him, thanks for being there over the last five years.

He was a solid ST guy for real. No knock against him. Wish him the best
