What is going to happen with our legs?

Kasay, though a beloved Panther, is getting old and I for one do not know when he will hang up the cleats. The guy has been great but at some point age is going to be a factor.

We placed a tender on Lloyd, so if he goes we are without a kickoff guy. (correct?)

Anyways, just wondering if anyone has any insight as to what our plans for kickers may be in the future.

Any stud kickers coming out in this years' draft? Free agents? I have felt that we needed to address this matter sooner than later and the FO seems to be putting it off. I'd like to see us bring in a young leg that could learn under Kasay during the remainder of his career. It would be nice also if we could get a guy to kick field goals and kickoff deep into the end-zone every time.

Opinions/thoughts?

I actually have been looking these past few drafts for any stud kickers or punters and not many have been availible.

We might try to sign a big leg kicker out of this years draft class, somebody that we might be able to train as Kasay's replacement. Lloyd doesn't look to be able to cut it as an NFL kicker.

Rotoworld's Panther Page, currently has unbiased blurbs on all our RFA tenders

The Panthers will not make K Rhys Lloyd a tender offer, allowing him to test unrestricted free agency.

Lloyd is a kickoff specialist only -- not worth the low tender of $1.01 million. He does have a highly impressive 51 touchbacks over the last two seasons and could be re-signed for the minimum salary of $545,000 later on.

This....or it is just that placing a tender on him is just too expensive. He only kicks off ya know.

I told Rhys Llyod to please not leave the Panthers on Twitter and he said, not looking promising...

Gah, the one thing that worked on special teams last year, we're getting rid of. I love Kasay to death, but geez, if Lloyd can drill kicks through the uprights at 50 yards I think we need to start thinking about him being a KO specialist AND field goal kicker...

I hate to say it but Kasay remaining kicker is another case of the Delhommes. Younger, fresher, higher potential player waiting in the wings getting shunned because we always stick with the company man until death do us part.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
