Cotchery doing a conference now.  

Says its home for him.

He won't wear #89 out of respect.

 

 

Carolina Panthers @Panthers

Cotchery had strong praise for QB Cam Newton, saying his ability as a passer is what made the #Panthers attractive.

WR Jerricho Cotchery says he will not be wearing Steve Smith's old number, 89. "I won't touch that one."

Cotchery on signing with #Panthers: “I felt comfortable with the staff. I feel like they had a great plan for me.”

do people sit around their keyboards trying to break news on the huddle faster than anyone else?  i mean really..

 

Which is why I always laugh when you guys trash Person and other journalists. Their real job is to write articles and web blog. Not watch the wire and rush out a tweet faster than some nerd living in his mom's basement.

Great news ! Welcome.

[El Chingon]

Not an exciting signing but a very much needed one.

you listen to all the great coaches of the teams that are consistently in the hunt for the Super Bowl, and they always preach how important it is to build a great locker room. Here is what Steelers blog "Behind The Steel Curtain" wrote about our new veteran #3 WR:

"Cotchery isn't a No. 1 or 2 receiver. He's not a great talent and certainly not someone you would want to build your offense around, but is he the perfect veteran No. 3 receiver, or what? ... Cotchery is a wise veteran who provides leadership ... Like previous Steelers veterans, such as backup quarterback Charlie Batch and backup running back and third down specialist Mewelde Moore, Cotchery has been the consummate professional during his two and a half seasons in Pittsburgh and never seems to have a discouraging word to say to anyone. Reporters often comment on his easy-going demeanor and calming presence in the locker room....(He is) a wise, dependable veteran No. 3 receiver."

Hey..... We signed one!!! Hopefully this creates a snowball effect.

[Happy Panther]

Out of respect, Cotchery will not be wearing no. 89 on his jersey: "I definitely wouldn’t even think about touching that number."

[BANE]

Good to get a vet WR in here, but hard to get too excited about signing Pittsburgh's number 3 wide out.
