Hometown kid. I hope he makes it.

I was just looking into him and saw that he ran a 4.79 40 with a sub-30" vertical at his pro day. Was he hurt or something? The guy had over 3000 career receiving yards at VT. That seems impossible if he's truly that athletically limited.

I just read that he had Sports Hernia, didn't play in VT's Bowl game or participate in the NFL Combine (not sure if he got an invite). He also had surgery to repair the injury. Again I don't know the sequence of events here or have any idea of what his 40 time was prior to his sports hernia injury...

Thanks. Makes sense. Putting up those kind of stats in a P5 conference and then posting those workout numbers just didn't add up.

The guy is a stud. I hope to see some of that XFL success translate over to the NFL. I love the fact that we are giving a hometown kid a shot! If they have talent there is nothing wrong with a little home cooking, I mean Brad Hoover was a huge home hit!

The Panthers are signing former XFL star receiver Cam Phillips, reuniting him with backup quarterback P.J. Walker, a league source told ESPN's Dianna Russini. The two were teammates for the Houston Roughnecks. Phillips led the league with 455 yards receiving in five games. He had nine touchdowns. He will add depth to a receiver corps somewhat depleted by injuries. Omar Bayless had successful arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday.

Panthers signed WR Cam Phillips, formerly of the XFL's Houston Roughnecks.

Phillips was arguably the XFL's unofficial runner-up MVP behind Panthers QB P.J. Walker, who he'll now reunite with in Carolina. The 24-year-old wideout finished with league-highs in catches (31), receiving yards (455), and receiving scores (9) under coach June Jones and the Roughnecks' high-flying progressive scheme. He'll compete as a reserve out of camp.

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
