Panthers sign a... basketball player

[Aussie Tank]

Hell of a RZ target if he pans out 

[Mistuh Jones]

I saw somewhere he was 255 LOL 

[Mistuh Jones]

his pic would look pretty gaunt if he was 6'9 225 LOL like Tayshaun Prince or some mess

[Shocker]

[Matthias]

[Jay Roosevelt]

6'9? You'd think he could block some field goals if nothing else.

[frankw]

Might as well leave no stone unturned I guess.

[ECHornet]

What if it works out in a big way? Sure doesn’t hurt anything to take the swing.

I'm so surprised the Negative Nancy's complaining about a bottom of the roster player

Nah guys, we are FINE at TE.  Dragging dudes off the streets with zero football experience.  Mud, meet wall. Crap, at least find some D-II TE to develop.  Full panic mode now that THE Ian Thomas has left the building.  

The team is too inundated--100% full concentration---on which 'square peg' situational pass rusher we are going to trying to force into a 'round hole' on this team at pick #8.

Morgan: 'Hey, just go find some really tall guy to play TE while we do important work over here on Edge guys.'

Scout: 'How much football background does he need?'

Morgan: 'Who cares? We have all these pass rushers we have to sort through.'

*Some time later*

Scout: 'Hey Dan, I found some dude nearly 7 foot tall playing rec ball down at the YMCA.'

Morgan: 'Cool, how many years did he start at TE in college?'

Scout: 'None, he's never played TE or football...ever--but, but, you said you didn't care about that?'

Morgan: 'Honestly I don't...let's give him a minimum deal; and for crying out loud let me get back to the slew of pass rushers that all have holes in their game!'

There is literally no risk to this move.  They are constantly churning the bottom of the roster.  Bringing them in has no impact on their tight end decisions for this coming season.

No risk and literally no point.  We have tried this before with basketball players who actually HAD a football background as well.  All of them flopped.  At best, training camp and practice squad fodder.
