Antoine Walker(notes) hasn't played in the NBA since he played two preseason games for the Memphis Grizzlies in 2008.

Now the 34-year-old is trying to make an NBA comeback. ESPN reports that he's set his sites on the Charlotte Bobcats since that is where a college friend and former Kentucky teammate, center Nazr Mohammed(notes), is hosting Walker so he can get into some daily Bobcats pickup games before the start of training camp at the end of the month. Walker is apparently hoping the team will extend an invite to him.

MJ could sign him as the 12th or 13th man off the bench. Give him the league minimum, help him get back on his feet.

Exactly. I'm not sure why people are bugging over this. It's not like we'd drop a huge contract on him, or even start him. He'd give us a veteran presence off the bench, and who knows? Maybe he'll get a little bit of his game back from working hard on it.

I don't guess we need him, but it's not like this would be the worst move in the world. Not even close.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
