Ryne Robinson attempting a return?

Heard from a friend who caught a Facebook or Twitter link (or something) that Ryne Robinson is supposed to get a chance to try out with the Panthers again at some point. He's also set to get a look from some other teams.

Speculation is that his injury was a lot more severe than anyone either knew or let on, but that he's healed up enough now to at least get another look.

Robinson was making good progress as a receiver before the injury derailed him. If he performs well at a tryout, I'd favor bringing him back to camp and seeing whether he could return to form.

I used to hype up Ryne all the time. Would tell all my friends that he's going to be the next in line after Smitty.

Great to hear he's attempting a return, and great to hear it could still be with the Panthers.

typical Panthers- always looking back instead of forward...

Nothing against Ryne, I loved the guy, but is this what we need at that position?

With that said, i hope he comes back and is a beast, I just dont see it.

Ehh... training camp competition never hurts.

I didn't realize that we had a limited roster during camp, AK. I also didn't know that we were done for looking for WR talent because we're willing to give a former player a tryout. We have another WR to compete in camp. Only you, and maybe SMF, could spin this good news (at worst) into something negative.

Ry had to have surgery again on his knee a couple months ago and is doing well. He is a friend of mine and is going to try to come back. Just to give you some insight on last year. He had pain in his knee and never was 100% healthy. The Panthers kept saying, you're ok you're ok, when in fact he just wasn't ready. When he was cut last year, the titans wanted him to come in and be a PR. He could've gone there but he knew that the team would have noticed he was NOT 100%. He would have really hurt his career even more if he had done that. I wish him well as he is a really great guy.

Note: there is more to the story about the Panthers and how they handled his injury that I won't go into but it really disappointed me hearing it. NFL can be ruthless when it comes to injuries

He is ready to be 100%. He will land on someone's roster next year

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
