Gettis on PUP

The Panthers have placed WR David Gettis on the PUP list. Not a big deal. They can bring him off at anytime. He's fine. Just recovering.

Thus the Murphy trade.

Wow, explains the Murphy deal. If he was "fine" he wouldn't be on the PUP right now.

IIRC, Rivera mentioned how he was still adjusting or something of the sort.

A note on David Gettis going on PUP. Don't panic. It's more a procedural thing than anything else.

You beat me to it JTG

I'm sure he's fine. Sounds like his recovery is just going a bit slower than expected. Guessing Murphy was brought in as Gettis insurance.

[Ivan The Awesome]

CYA.

[BiG_E_DuB]

I hope so...its a little concerning IMO...I mean Gettis got injured almost a full year ago...

[TheRed]

Great way to start training camp. Everything is gravy boys.

[Argus Plexus]

I like that they're giving him all the time he needs. Smart move FO.

I've had the feeling that Gettis wasn't coming along that well. This would explain why we have a roster full of WR's.

[TheRed]

It's so procedural that we traded for a receiver the same day. That's just how we roll in carolina.

[jtnc]

I don't think Gettis would have been cleared for mini-camp if something was still seriously wrong with him.

[Floppin]

There is one real reason that this is being done. To free up roster space for camp. This allows them to stash Gettis on the Pup while allowing them to keep another WR longer into camp without cutting him. This gives them more time to evaluate the 10million WR's they have coming to camp.
