Other tryout players

[Mr. Scot]

... in addition to Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

You knew they'd be bringing in a kicker.

The team is allowed up to five so there could be more.

That's a good percentage, but he's available for a reason.

I'll never forgive Marty for letting Harrison Butker go in favor of Gano.  His stats since getting picked up by KC.

Getzenberg pointed out that Panthers secondary coach Jason Simmons previously coached Clinton-Dix in Green Bay. That may have helped him get the tryout here.

Mind you, it won't necessarily help him make the team.

It's not even close to good.

He's available because statistically one of the worst placekickers in the league last year and during his career.

The other two names courtesy of Panthers.com...

Also in for the week are safety Tenny Adewusi and wide receiver/return man Rashard Davis. Adewusi went to Giants camp in 2019 and was in the XFL in 2020, while Davis played in one game for the Titans, and has spent time on the practice squads of the Eagles, Raiders, and Chiefs as well.

I remember thinking Yeldon was going to be a beast coming into the league, I dont even know if he would be able to get a jersey on game day now. Maybe im wrong, and as always hope we are able to the best out of anyone that we bring in no matter the capacity.

Why not? I thought Yeldon put up good numbers just always put in bad situations. He can do everything.

I remember Gonzalez coming out of college was a hot candidate to be a good pro kicker. Dude just never put it all together.

He was drafted in a late round, if I remember correctly.

That's generally a good sign for a kicker, but obviously it hasn't worked out.

[Mr. Scot]

FYI: No news on how anybody did today, not that I've seen anyway.

Please bring in some LBs, thats my over-reaction take for the week.... LB is the real weak point of the D, not safety. Perryman is injury-prone which would leave solo Shaq again....as I view Reddick as a edge guy mainly.

With teams strapped for cash there will be lots of vets either without jobs or willing to take what they can get to stay in the league.
