Panthers add linebacker, David Nixon

CHARLOTTE – Linebacker David Nixon will be the newest member of the Panthers, pending him passing a physical on Friday when he reports to training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C.

The addition of Nixon will provide depth at the linebacker position as the team enters training camp. Three of the nine linebackers already on the roster – Jon Beason, Thomas Davis and Jason Phillips – ended last season on injured reserve, a year in which injuries forced Carolina to start eight different linebackers.

Nixon, who participated in the Panthers' three-day rookie camp as an invited tryout player in May, has played for three different NFL teams. Undrafted out of Brigham Young in 2009, the 6-3, 225-pounder has seen action in 15 games for the Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans and St. Louis Rams.

Yeah, yeah

Super Bowl?

Who?

The David Nixon?

And all that other sh*t...

every yahoo in here wants to be a comedian and I am guilty of it as well. fact is that we are much more active this year it seems than we were in the fox era. I think coaches likely have two views on FA. One being fox-like where you only show signs of life when a can't miss home run becomes available in the area that anyone and everyone who has ever watched a Panther game understands is a position of great need. The other being the active pursuit to stockpile young talent and effort guys who can be acquired on the cheap.

One strategy creates an environment where the players have the power and the other creates the environment where the multimillionaires better keep their game tight and their head right or they put themselves at risk to be Vince Papale'd.

I'll take the later all day any day in spite of the budding comedic careers it may spark around here.

    • I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.
    • Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.
    • Only way Canales is fired is if we are attrocious everywhere....  defense /special teams and offense..  There are enough "questions" on if BY9 is the guy that ownership wouldn't fire the coach for "just" mid qb play.  Especially with as talented a roster that has played "well enough" to win some tough football games and hang in there against the top tier of the NFL ...(mostly).   Now total team suckage..yeah .. but I don't see that happening.
