Likelihood Jeff Otah is cut?

[hepcat]

Anyone have any news on the health of Jeff Otah?

He played in 27 of 33 possible games through his first two seasons. He has appeared in 4 of 32 possible games in the past two seasons. What is the likelihood he is cut, either in a cost saving measure or to bring in someone who is actually going to play?

I hope he is. As big and as nasty as he can be, he doesn't do us much good on the bench. We could use some cap space.

I kinda feel like this is his final year to get poo together or be gone. It's nice knowing Bell is a capable guy in case it doesn't work out.

Edit: Why does shi censor to poo? I mean really, what are we, 12 here?

Cheap rookie contract. He does well, we win. He goes IR again, oh well, we're not losing too much. Low risk, high reward.

Stud when healthy, cheap, and in a contract year. What doesn't sound good about having that in your 2012 roster?

SHlT no we ain't

Rookie contact isn't costing us much, so it's a win win. I actually hope he performs decent but not excellently so Hurney doesn't break the bank on him.

I heard they want to get him on weight monitoring program this offseason and (sort of impossible last offseason) and see where he's at. Let rivera and staff have an offseason with him and see if anything changes.

Like jayflip said, it's not a monstrous contract, and he was a great run blocker when he was right.

if you're older than 12 why would you care?

If I were to give you a %, I'd say 50%

[rayzor]

no incentive to cut him. as others have said, cheap rookie contract. great price for even a backup.

low risk, high reward. if he gets beat out of a roster spot at TC, then fine. but cuting him prior to that just doesn't make any sense.

Ok so say Otah has a kick ass year, do the Panthers have the money for an elite tackle, and do you pay him elite tackle money?
