Former Panther (Tuttle) finds new home

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

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.

I like shy ronnie better.

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

Looks like the only time he was booked as NT was in '24 according to them. Whatever the case ends up being, he is a crap true 3-4 NT.

Saints ran a 4-3. Not the same position as a 3-4 NT. Looks like they are going 3-4 this year

Use their depth charts. Not pro football reference.

I was looking at his historical positions. Titans run a 3-4 so he going to dud it up for them too.

Or simply watch him play.
