It will be interesting to see where Cason fits with us. Last year, he and Javier Arenas battled for the #4 and #5 CB spots for Arizona. The Cards didn't even make an offer to retain Cason (they originally signed him for a one year contract worth $1.5 million). As for Arenas, the Falcons just signed him to compete with Robert McClain for their #3 and #4 CB spots behind Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford. Note Riveria only said this about Cason and Underwood: “These are players who have an opportunity to play a role with our football team.”

WOW

 

Gettleman did WORK

 

 

Now that's a contract folks!! You see that?? Its called value!!

 

:thumbsu:

 

 

It means he wasn't getting a bigger offer anywhere else. The majority of players are selfish and only want the biggest pay day.

 

Still, with that said, I think its a good signing. If dude performs this year, id like for GMan to lock him up.

Antoine Cason's 1-year deal w/ the Panthers is for the veteran minimum $730,000, with a $65k signing bonus.

Best part is he also qualifies for the veteran minimum salary benefit, which means his total cap hit will only be $635k while he actually gets paid $795k.

And since only the top 51 salaries count at this point, he knocks one of the rookie minimum guys out of the top 51.

635k - 490k (rookie minimum) = 145k net cap hit, and I imagine Webb's will be similar. Stealing.

He'll yeah dude. I think its smart of gettleman to avoid the FA splurge of the first week, and sign these cheap, hungry, role players to the cheapest deals possible.

 

I'm pretty sure this guy is going to perform.. I hope we have the cash to retain him next season.

ESPN:

"You need search engine to find these guys. SEARCH: NFL free agent wide receivers and cornerbacks that will play for pennies on the million dollars. Funky hairdos, inexperience and

unimpressive statistics not a factor. Google has become my best friend as the Carolina Panthers continue their Dollar General trip through free agency. Sometimes you wonder if general manager Dave Gettleman needs a search engine to get the lowdown on some of his prospects. It reminds me of the line from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance" kid as they try to avoid a mystery posse. "Who are those guys?" Butch, otherwise known as

Paul Newman, repeatedly asked. Today's shopping list of "those guys" includes Tampa Bay free agent wide receiver Tiquan Underwood, Arizona cornerback Antoine Cason and Texans wide receiver Lestar Jean. All three, which you would have to say fall into the bargain-basement category"

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
