Gano could possibly go to IR per Rodrigue

The Panthers signed long snapper Andrew DePaola to take Vaeao’s place on the roster. DePaola will fill in for snapper J.J. Jansen on Thursday night.

Jansen has an injury to his left hand.

DePaola is a veteran who has played for three different teams since 2014, most recently with the Raiders. He played the 2018 season opener before a season-ending knee injury.

Carolina also reached injury settlements with guard Norman Price and linebacker Jonathan Celestin, who both were on injured reserve.

Been saying that for weeks.  I think that is definitely the right move. If he isn’t healthy now with an jury from December I have little faith he would last the year.  And right now we have a viable backup.  If we try to put Slye on the PS someone would grab him.   

Lets just hope that Slye doesn’t go out and shank 3 tomorrow.  Lol.

That’s why an 8 game tryout works perfectly. If he truly bombs that badly, we can bring someone in after 3-4 games until Gano is eligible. If he’s mediocre then ride it out until Gano comes back. If he’s good then trade Gano. Someone will need a kicker at that point and Gano is a good kicker.

I am as well. Gano seems to have a lot of injuries for a kicker, which is also concerning and he is making a lot of money. With all that being said we definitely need him this year at this point and can look at other options next year when his dead cap will be about 3 million

    • It’s like being on the Flyers broadcast team feed so far
    • Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.
    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
