Defensive tackle Shy Tuttle, age 29, has landed on the Tennessee Titans’ 53-man roster after being released by the Carolina Panthers during final cutdowns. Tuttle, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2019, is the only Panther released at the deadline to secure a spot on another team’s active roster or practice squad.

While most of Carolina’s released players either re-signed to the Panthers’ own practice squad or remain free agents, the team did bring in fresh faces from outside organizations to round out its developmental group.

* Hendon Hooker (QB, 27) – Drafted in the 3rd round (68th overall) of the 2023 draft by Detroit out of Tennessee.
* Ainias Smith (WR, 24) – Drafted in the 5th round (152nd overall) of the 2024 draft by Philadelphia out of Texas A\&M.
* DeeJay Dallas (RB/KR, 27) – Drafted in the 4th round (144th overall) of the 2020 draft by Seattle out of Miami (FL).
* Kalen King (CB, 22) – Drafted in the 7th round (255th overall) of the 2024 draft by Green Bay out of Penn State.

Seemed like a good guy.

 

Unfortunately he had to play out of position on the worst defense in NFL history and was coordinated by someone who is in over his head.

I remember being somewhat excited when we picked him up. He was solid, not great, for the Taints.

If played in his correct position he should be a solid backup for them. Good for him. 

He's on their depth chart as NT. Same as he played with Saints.

He's been a NT on all 3 nfl teams

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
