I was just about to post this.

I don't know. If Chad is humbled from his experience (or lack there of) in New England I think it would be cool to reunite him and Steve Smith. Give him a vet minimum contract and see what he does in camp if it works good if not cut him. I think that between Smitty, Riv, Beason and all the other guys Chad wouldn't step out of line.

Do NOT want. Don't care if he and Smitty were college team mates...

With that said, we'll probably pick him up with this new cap space. He can still spread the field and open up offense.

This will hurt LaFell and Gettis if we do this though.

Honestly, I have a soft spot for Chad. He's a great player on and off the field. Very interactive with the fans too. Seeing him in a Panthers Jersey would be cool. But I don't know If that's the best move the FO can make. He's a legit #2 if he comes here though. Smitty and Ocho. Crazy man. Crazy.

Hell to the no, that whole crap he pulled in Cincy, bashing his HC, and all the crap he was doing during the lockout, Hell no. If he went to New England and was the same character he was in Cincy, then I could respect him for who he is, (still wouldn't like his attitude, but I would respect it), but he goes to NE, and turns into some humble guy. Hell with Ocho......

Why do people even waste their time speculating on signing guys like this? There is a 0% chance of us signing Ochocinco and anybody that has been a Panthers fan for more than a few years should know this by now. In fact, I'm so confident we're not signing him that I'll give $8.50 at training camp to each person that pies this post.

I can't be mad at him. When we played the Bengals two years he brought free food and a alcohol for the first 85 people to show up to Brazas and waited around to take pictures with everyone that was there even me with my Panthers jersey on. It was pretty cool...

If he can learn the offense and focus he's a better #2 than anyone on our roster (and I say that as someone who is actively rooting for Lafell to set the world on fire)

Bring him in for a workout. Guy played with Smith at JUCO college. Thats literally the only reason I'd even consider taking a look at him. He had been overrated his whole career and had inflated stats for most of it. I think he's done. Dude can't even beat out Deion Branch for playing time.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
