Panthers sign RB D'Onta Foreman

IMO this is a good signing I'm hoping for a RB committee. A big back like freeman could get 10 12 carries a game- CMC 7 or 8, and a 3rd back (Hubbard/Abdullah/someone else) could pickup a few as well. CMC could be used enough to continue to be and effective decoy. Stays in to pass pro. some and catches 8-12 balls a game out of slot and the backfield.

He has never played a full season (ACL/Bicep problems). Teams didn't want him on their opening day roster following the ACL injury. Brought in off the street mid season as an emergency/temporary RB for the Titans last season. Practice squad hero.

Colts and Falcons tossed him.

For a big back he doesn't have much power and gets taken off his feet easily. Stumbles and falls down often. Poor balance. Seems to want to avoid contact. Slow. Doesn't bring the same push he did before the ACL injury. Needs a strong interior OL that can open holes.

Looks more like a good undersized TE/H-back. Good hands and great in the open field.

A one and done player if he doesn't get cut in the preseason or tossed out during the season. Could be an ask by Watson. He wasn't receiving any offers. He has never been offered more than $1M for a season. Panthers overpaid for a practice squad player.

Exactly - he's pretty meh. 4.1 career YPC with a whopping 5 TDs in almost 1000 career carries who doesn't catch the ball... I guess if they want a one-dimensional power runner for short yardage then so be it, but this signing is not a needle-mover otherwise.

Signings like this make me wonder what the hell were we doing with Ian Thomas.

Was just thinking that. He can catch better than Ian Thomas or Chuba if you're looking for a checkdown guy that can actually get some yac and also pass block if necessary

Foreman has 18 career catches in 4 seasons vs 1000 carries. He's not a receiving back.

    • My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

    • His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems. 
    • Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
