Joe Person: Panthers will let Eddy Pineiro test free agency, re-sign JJ Jansen

[tukafan21]

I said this in another thread recently, and I know people will scoff at me even bringing up another Arizona player given my T-Mac feelings.

But if we're going to give a rookie a shot, take a look at Arizona's Tyler Loop.

I'll be 100% honest in that I have no idea how to properly evaluate a kicker's NFL potential, but what I can say is that the kid has a MONSTER leg.  Hit a 62 yarder this year and the number of long kicks he'd put OVER the net was insane, think he put a 48 yarder over it this past season if I remember correctly.

He has a neck that rivals Canales’

Honestly, I'd like to see Eddie come back, he's been more than reliable for us. They all miss kicks now and then and he's been better than most. However, there's probably a top end to pay for a kicker when you're rebuilding a team, so he could quickly get out of our price range.

If he goes elsewhere, good luck to him, he did right by us. And some other guy is going to get a shot at one of only 32 spots to do that job there are in the world. Good luck to that guy, too.

Edit to add: Wouldn't be the same without JJJ around here. Glad he will stay on, there's going to be a lot of new faces on special teams, we need that veteran presence.

Who would do cart talk if JJ isn't here

Just trot thicker kicker out there

I'm not against this, but he is signed to a UFL team currently.

I didnt know, I'm sure they can do something about that

I can't get over Eddy's attitude on the hold out.  He seemed awfully sassy for a guy who can't hit from any respectable distance.

I would rather go a different direction at this point.

We had to go for it in scenarios because we just knew he did not have the leg.  I don't know how he got so big headed without a big leg.

Probably so.  Just thought I would mention it.

Good riddance. Eddy P is a loser of a kicker and cost us multiple games over the last few years.

I'm usually on my way to the refrigerator when the kickers coming onto the field, but I'm also old enough to remember when a 45 yard attempt was automatic points.

[Pazhoosier89]

John Kasey spoiled me. That guy was automatic and never missed  Eddy can go somewhere else. Find a good kicker with a strong leg in the draft.

[jfra78]

FG 84.6%  25th

XP 94.3% 29th

Long 53 31st

We can find someone else in the draft or FA, we have nothing to lose

If we keep Jansen for 5 more years, he will beat Trey Junkin for longest career at long snapper.

I'm going to get his jersey. The man is a legend and has outlasted about 6 coaches. Maybe more than that if you look it up.
