The #Panthers are signing former #Buccaneers cornerback Javien Elliott, source says. Elliott appeared in 15 games in each of the last two seasons for Tampa Bay. Had his first career interception last year against ... the Panthers.

Panthers will have to make another roster move after reported signing of Javien Elliott (by @MikeGarafolo ), because McCoy signing/Frazier injury settlement had them at 90.

Sees "played in 15 games past year" and thinks hmmm... he can't be THAT terrible. Then thinks back to some of the players who have appeared in 15 games for us in the past... oh yes he can.

Probably just special teams mostly

Competition is never bad.  If he beats someone out, great.  If not, we gave him a shot and probably don't lose much.

Hell, we've had guys START 15 games for us who would struggle to make another NFL roster.

okay but can he play FS

His one INT last year was against Cam. It was a decent read. He was playing the slot on that play.

For the other 31 teams? Hell no. For the Panthers? Anything is possible.

Probably depends on your definition of "play", ha

Yea added slot competition is a bonus but really we can find a gem or a person who performs better under better circumstances ie mike mitchell:Coleman is all we are looking for now all our weaknesses are consistently being addressed besides ummmm safety but in Ron’s eyes safety is obsolete so we are good

Lol that’s hilarious

As long as he can play nickel/cover the slot, I think this is a good move.

Nickel CB/CB depth could still use some work.

Donte Jackson/James Bradberry/Ross Cockrell is a pretty good starting combination

Lorenzo Doss, Corn Elder, Kevon Seymour, John Thornton, and now Javien Elliott are the other guys currently on the roster.

The team generally keeps 5 CB's, and I think as long as he is healthy, Seymour has a leg up on 1 of the remaining 2 positions.  That leaves the other 4 guys to battle it out.

It's not the best CB group in the league, but it doesn't scare me like it has some in the past.  Losing Cockrell and Seymour early on last year hurt, although it did push Jackson into a starting role which may not have happened otherwise.

I certainly think it is sufficient with our Front 7 if we don't have a rash of injuries.
