he's as much a WR as karl hankton was.

this guy is a special teams ace that we need. he is a very good gunner and was one of the best last year. 12 ST tackles in 5 games.

our return coverage just got a lot better.

this was a very nice pickup.

Was Harris' age comment a reference to JR's 2010 "30 or older and you get the cold shoulder" campaign. Heehee. I love Chris Harris!

I love the guy too. He's got balls making comments like that.

And another from the Panthers Twitter-

Panthers sign former Jets / UNC WR Wallace Wright. A native of Fayetteville, N.C., he had 70 ST tackles last 4 years.

karl hankton is the all time ST tackle leader on the panthers and he had 62 in 6 years.

A WR not afraid to make some hits/tackles? I like it, but can he catch?
when needed but thats not why we got him or need him.

we needed some improvement on STs coverage and i suppose aren't bringing back wesley so we were going to be hurting there. wright is an upgrade over wesley.

Chris Harris has to be drunk or something :lol:

Nice ST pick-up. I still hope we re-sign Wesley.

same here. i'd love to have these two as the gunners. we may bring wesley back at some point later in the offseason. i doubt it, but it could happen.

I've been saying for a while that we need another Hankton. You don't need a kick off specialist if you've got a demon like him stalking the return man.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
