Also in other NFL news Vikings 4th round pick was killed in a car crash with 2 friends when their vehicle was struck by another vehicle performing a dangerous lane change and pushed off the road. Don’t have full details yet but the reports say alchohol may have been involved, presumably on the part of the other vehicle of which the driver and passengers were of course all unharmed.

This doesn't seem like a plausible marriage. He has been out of football for a very long time.

Well, maybe he gets a shot and shows up as a new man and finally plays to his potential. Love to find out that he put all his demons behind him and a new road has opened up before him. Or, like all of us someday, we'd like one last chance to go out as the guy we once wanted to be.

Best of luck to him and all the others getting their shot at summer training camp here. You won't find a place more in need of someone ascending.

I'm thinking we need to roll with who we currently have here. Lots of young guys who need to develop whether or not this year is a disaster or a success in the passing game.  And hasn't that guy been out of football for a while if this is who I am thinking of?

I don't mean to burst your bubble but "showing your potential" might be a little tougher as a guy who is going to turn 33 next season. His best days are objectively behind him. If he wants to come in on a vet minimum one year deal, I am fine with it.

He's basically another AT, a guy in the twilight of his career.

Caldwell reminding people he is still around while proving why he shouldn't be.

I had a weird dream last night about the Panthers trading 2 future 1st Rd picks for Ceedee Lamb and making him the highest paid WR in football.

 

So glad that was just a nightmare.

If I remember right he was a big bodied, jump ball type WR. If he has stayed in good shape his age shouldn’t hurt him too much as he was never a speed guy. He might have a hard time staying healthy though…

from a 30000ft view this doesnt seem like a good thing for TMJ and/or Mingo.  I mean damn the wr room feels pretty full as it is currently

Oh, I agree. Just trying to put a positive spin on it.
