REPORT: Martavis Bryant has had contact with Panthers


Recommended Posts

  • Usually this type of thing is someone asking for a favor, getting a tryout.
  • Who is here that was connected with him when he was in Pittsburgh, besides Tepper? (okay maybe he was not not there who am I thinking of?)
  • Somehow I got this in bullet points and can’t find how to change it. Oh well...

Another situation where a number of you didn't read the linked article but jumped to conclusions.

No, we are just talking about it in theory, same as we would do for anyone "linked" to us via pure speculation or actual interest.

I don't think anyone here actually believes this is a real possibility. 

 

After all, who in the world does this guy beat out? I genuinely think TMJ and Mingo are busts but at least you have the slim hope of the light switch being flipped. What is the hope for an early 30's WR that has been out of the NFL for years and had very modest production at multiple lower levels of football.

'Bryant was reinstated last November from an indefinite suspension that was put in place while he was playing for the Raiders during the 2018 season.'

20 fugging 18. LOL. It's just funny to me that Caldwell was hanging with him at an event.

Hanging with him?

The entire story came from Bryant mentioning some likr passing words they had. It's Bryant promoting himself

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…

Bryant IMO was easily the most physically talented WR IMO that has come out of Clemson.   Just didn't have it above the shoulders to prioritize football.   He had it all.  

But dude hasn't played in the NFL in a half decade.  It's pointless to talk about him IMO.  But I hope he is in a better path these days.

Oh I doubt he gets offered. I’m just saying his style of play with his size brings more injury concerns with age than drop off of skill. I also doubt he is in NFL shape anyway. If we threw him a minimum contract he probably doesn’t make the 53 man cut.

Looks like he just mentioned a conversation with Jim Caldwell. There's nothing of substance otherwise.

But hey, don't let that stop the misery! 😄

Some of y'all do realize that just clicking and reading will save you more time than immediately having an emotional response... right?

I didn't realize he was in the XFL this past year.  Wonder how he did there.  I mean, the dude was a freak.  I thought he was out of football and thus way way out of shape.  I mean, not saying we should, but if he has been playing he might be worth a camp tire kick for some team.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
