PANTHERS sign ex-Jets pro bowler CB Trumaine Johnson

Man, I really love this and the Butler signing.  It feels like we're finally constantly looking to get better by any means.  Johnson was quickly developing a reputation as one of the best corners in the league a few years ago, so this could end up being a steal.  I guarantee he is already better than a couple of guys we have on the active roster now.

But, this still seems weird to have veteran guys like him on the PS lol.  I'm surprised no one else had taken a chance on him already.

On the practice squad, can another team still reach out and snag him if they put him onto their 53-man roster? Or is he protected there now?

Sorry, with the rule changes, I'm still a bit in the fog.

    • Coaches can't mentor, they coach, they are two entirely different things, and your coaches can also only do so many things at one time.  When they're running a drill, the vets are pulling the young guys aside after their reps and giving tips while waiting for the drill to reset. You do also realize that for the most part, players are only around the coaches in the film room and on the field, coaches aren't in the locker room other than just before the game and at half.  That's another place someone like Thielen shines, he's always been a pro's pro, he's going to take these young WRs under his wing and team them how you go about being an NFL player. That's not stuff coaches do, you NEED the vets for it and Thielen has embraced the role.  When you have a guy who made his career on doing the little things right, and he is willing to be that vet mentor to a group of young WRs in their 1st or 2nd year that you hope to be your future 1-4, then he's worth every penny we're giving him this year.
    • Why in Minnesota? That's bizarre. Not like we have a vet WR who played his college ball and the majority of his NFL ball in Minnesota that a few room temperature IQ Panthers fans want to poo on who was obviously brought in every bit as much to mentor young WRs as much as he was to play who has still managed to put up decent numbers in awful offenses in the twilight of his career. Anyone who thinks the Panthers haven't gotten everything out of Thielen that they signed up for shouldn't be taken seriously.
