I'm cool with it

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.

Bring him back just in time for him to kick a 70 yarder and turn this place upside down

Interesting that we could bring him back before the trade deadline, gives us a lot of options

Then miss two PATs in a game we wind up losing by one point.

With Destiny to IR and Butler sucking, we are desperate for 3-4 DL.

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.

If JJ Jansen goes to IR our season is over.

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

If the outcome of our season relied on a long snapper, our season was over before it even began.

Yeah, our NT depth, or lack thereof, is pretty concerning.

Is the cap really that much to keep him instead of cutting him? I see no reason to just not part ways
