Release UDFA TE Tarren Lloyd

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers

The Panthers have signed TE Joe Jon Finley and waived TE Tarren Lloyd.

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers

A product of the University of Oklahoma, Finley entered the NFL in 2008 as an undrafted rookie free agent with the 49ers.

Apparently he has no NFL experience and goes by J.J. Finley.

As Proud mentioned, he is a future NASCAR driver for Hendricks Motorsports.

It's actually Joe Jon Finley and I'm disappointed... Saw Jon Jon Finley, which sounded cooler and less Beverly Hillbillies and thought we might've signed Jermichael Finley's much lesser known brother... Nope, we signed Joe Jon Finley.

He's one cut away from becoming a Nascar driver with that name.

Ht: 6-6.5

Wt.: 254

40: 4.83

BIOGRAPHY:Two-year starter who totaled a career-high 23/290/4 as a senior after 19/241/3 the previous season.

POSITIVES:Pass-catching tight end who.s shown progress the past two years. Quickly gets off the snap, runs with good lean, and effectively extends to make the reception away from his frame. Looks the pass into his hands, adjusts to the errant throw, and comes out of a crowd with the ball. Uses his frame to protect the pass and effectively makes body-catches when necessary. Gives effort as a blocker and makes good use of angles in pass protection.

NEGATIVES:Marginally strong at the point and struggles to control defenders. Has not been overly productive in college.

ANALYSIS:Finley is a tough prospect who gets the job done. He is a solid middle-round prospect who could eventually develop into a productive player at the next level.

PROJECTION:Early Seventh Round

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
