6-6 275.... That's a big SOB for a TE. If he can block and play special teams he may have a better chance than y'all think for the Panthers who use the TE more like an outside guard.

Yeah, I was thinking that while I was typing my response. I must remember who our team is. Although King is excellent at blocking and also at catching, (just not yards after the catch), a man that big might be hard to ignore, (though we don't often go for big men often)...

I found another site that states he is 6-4, but that is still pretty tall.

With such low stats in three seasons, I would think his specialty is blocking though.

All I could find

Overview

The former minor league baseball player figures to be a key part of Arkansas’ offense in 2008 at tight end/H-back. An effective blocker on the edge in the running game, he also has good hands and is adept at running after the catch in the passing game. He enters fall camp listed as the second-team tight end behind sophomore D.J. Williams. He had a solid spring with two catches for 20 yards in the Red-White Spring Game. In the two other major scrimmages, he had five catches for a team-high 113 yards on April 11 and two receptions for 28 yards on April 19. In the first scrimmage, he had a long reception of 63 yards and a 22-yard touchdown catch from Casey Dick.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers are taking another chance with a former minor league baseball player.

The franchise that once drafted and started quarterback Chris Weinke claimed rookie tight end Andrew Davie off waivers from the New York Jets on Thursday. The 26-year-old spent four seasons in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system before switching to football.

The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Davie caught 24 passes for 199 yards and six touchdowns in three season at Arkansas. He went undrafted in April and signed with the Jets.

Davie will provide depth in training camp behind starting tight end Jeff King and backups Dante Rosario and Gary Barnidge.

hello fodder.

Not so fast... he looks to have the tools 6'4" to 6'6' 275lbs 4.95 40, six TD's as a backup. Solid blocker with good hands and good after the catch. It looks like he was stuck behind a better guy, but may be able to compete for a spot.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
