Can Jeff Reed be our 2nd Jeremy Shockey?

After #Panthers HC Rivera left the door open on a new kicker, I caught up w/former Steelers K Jeff Reed, who is from and lives in CLT (cont)

(cont) J. Reed said playing for hometown team would be a dream come true, he's working out daily and in the best shape of his life #Panthers

As of this afternoon, kicker Jeff Reed had not received call from #Panthers

The Shockey signing raised a lot of eyebrows mainly because his history, his attitude, and his age. But hes been really productive for a number of years. So far so good.

Jeff Reed is a local guy, and one would think he'd be humble for 1 more run. He's 32, meaning he should have several good years left if he really is healthy and he's ready to go.

possible, but Tuesday it workout day, so its not to late...yet. Idk for sure but he could live in the area.

Usually they put out calls the day before the workout so out of town kickers can get their flights scheduled etc. Unless the Panthers only called a select few.

    • I meant to type more my bad…. first and main reason we’re probably trying to add him his pff scores are high very high. Being that we value that much more nowadays I know he’s on our radar. His run stopping grades were like the highest of all LBs. That would have given us top graded plates at all three levels Brown then Pratt with   JC and Moehrig were definitely stopping the run this year with these monsters fully healthy. I hope we dangling some of that Clowney money at him we need him to solidify our defense.
    • You're not even reading what I'm saying you're just ranting. It has everything to do with draft pick value vs. cap space impact. The agent knows he's holding significant draft capital over the GM's head vs. minimal cap impact. Not everyone is geared like Dave Gettleman where literally everything boils down to a dick measuring contest. History indicates the agents progressively whittle away and win the battle vs. the GMs on the rookie contracts. Hell, we have an owner throwing out typical 6th rounder guarantees at UDFAs just to secure them. He's not sweating pennies on the dollar against the cap or trying to protect his precious wallet. It's the one thing I do appreciate about Tepper. The man will spend to try to win. Being cheap hasn't been our issue.
    • I would LOVE to have the talent that Oakland and NY(Giants) have. They were/are WAAAAAY better rosters.  I think we will finally crawl out of that "worst" spot this season, even as a massive sceptic.  We need it.
