Tommy Tremble

 

CARTight End#82

Panthers coach Dave Canales said TE Tommy Tremble (back) had surgery last week and is expected to not be ready for the start of training camp.

Tremble re-signed with the Panthers early this offseason after finishing his rookie deal out as mostly a blocking tight end. He’s expected to start camp on the PUP list. We’ll keep an eye on this one as August rolls around, but given the optimistic initial timeline, Tremble probably isn’t at risk of missing much time once the season starts.

we resigned him knowing he was going to have back surgery?

I am gonna say that this makes the TE drafted make a LOT more sense now.

I'm just going to patiently wait for time to do it's thing....and the inevitable return of Ian.

Fine with me. Get the rookie and Sanders more snaps. Tremble is basically a bottom of the roster type of player. For some reasons the Panthers just absolutely love paying those types of guys at TE.

Glad to see them playing it cautious. I wonder if this was due to the hit he took against the Bears that knocked him out. He was out for two games in the concussion protocol, came back for the Broncos but was listed  questionable due to back, then missed two more games before returning to finish the season.

He was also extended before last season started, so well before the injury ever occurred let alone when surgery needed to be discussed.

He signed a two year deal in March of 2025…

he was just extended

I guess this means more 3 WR sets.

I echo the ???? about resigning a meh TE that needs back surgery....... He is only 24, but ....

Maybe they will keep 7 WRs now....

Send the Bears a late pick for Kmet

Oh damn, my bad. Could've sworn it was a 3yr deal last offseason.

Looking at the details now and it might effectively be just 1yr looking at the numbers for 2026. Team saves $6M and just accrues a little over $2M dead cap. Costs less than $4M going into this season.

 

Got a feeling that we are gonna see a lot of Sanders/Evans when they put 2 TEs out there to see if they can move on from Tremble.
