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.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
