This is a shame. You never like to see this happen to a player and one can’t imagine that he can come back yet again. According to Steve Reed of Carolina Growl, LB Thomas Davis is out yet again with a torn ACL in his right knee. “Breaking News: Thomas Davis tweets that he has [...]
The Oregonian newspaper, located in a quaint town just north of Little Rock, AK, is reporting that former Carolina Panthers QB Matt Moore has signed with the Miami Dolphins. A source tells the paper that it’s a two-year deal worth $5 million, that can be pushed to $7.5 with incentives. So now, the pundits are [...]
Man, there is a ton of NFL activity this week. Tough to keep up. We all know that Mike Martz can’t stand pass-catching TE’s, and now the Chicago Bears have proven it. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears have sent Greg Olsen to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for an autographed [...]
A source tells PFT’s Mike Florio that the Carolina Panthers have agreed on a deal with defensive end Charles Johnson. The 25-year old DE got a six-year, $76 million contract with $32 million guaranteed. $30 million is in the form of a signing bonus. Wow. That is an absolutely huge deal for a guy who [...]
Last year, John Fox and the Carolina Panthers selected Jimmy Clausen with the No. 48-overall pick in the 2010 draft. Last year, Clausen went out on the field and proved that all the teams that passed on him were right. He was terrible. So, this year, with a new regime in place down there, they [...]
The news on Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett just keeps getting worse. We mentioned the other day that he admitted to recreational drug use at the Combine, now we hear about him thoroughly shirking responsibility. And we don’t use the word “shirk” lightly. Mallett met with Carolina Panthers officials for dinner on April 8th, the day [...]
Just as recently as a month or so ago, there were many people who had Clemson DE Da’Quan Bowers pegged to go No. 1 overall to the Carolina Panthers. But, it’s been a while since anyone has predicted that. Bowers told NFL teams at the combine that his surgically repaired was fine and that he [...]
Jeremy Shockey was bounced from the roster of the New Orleans Saints a few weeks so that the team could avoid paying him $4.7 million this year. And apparently, the Carolina Panthers have an affinity for oft-injured tight ends who run their mouth too much, because they signed him to a one-year deal. According to [...]
Remember the 2010 NFL Draft? Remember how so many people thought that Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen was a good bet to go to the Washington Redskins at No. 4 overall? Well, that didn’t happen, and he slid all the way down to No. 16…in the second round. What makes matters worse for Clausen, is [...]
We found out this weekend that Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid was not telling the truth when he said Sean McDermott would remain as the team’s defensive coordinator. He was booted a couple of days ago and was made the scapegoat for what really had to do with injuries and poor defensive talent. But, [...]
Shocking news from Michigan, Auburn QB Cam Newton has decided to forgo his final year of eligibility in school and will enter the NFL Draft, according to Jay G. Tate of the Montgomery Advertiser. “Cam Newton has declared for the NFL Draft,” Tate tweets. “This decision was difficult for me and my family,” Newton said. [...]
This is interesting and we think this could be a great move for everyone involved. John Elway announced on Twitter that former Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox will become the new coach of the Denver Broncos. “Coach Fox is a great fit for us not only with his coaching ability but also with his [...]
Kansas City lost to the Baltimore Ravens 30-7 in Sunday’s wild-card round, officially ending their season. Next up for the Chiefs is finding a replacement for Florida-bound Charlie Weis, and according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, the Chiefs are “strongly considering” Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy It’s not the first time McCoy’s name has been [...]
The Carolina Panthers literally have no luck. They can’t catch a break and they certainly didn’t catch one with the news that Andrew Luck will stay at Stanford to finish his education. “I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion [...]
If Stanford QB Andrew Luck is as smart as we associate Stanford student athletes with being, he’ll make one more pass. He’ll pass up the opportunity to return for another season as QB of the Cardinal. Yeah, yeah, yeah…he should go to school, get his degree and sit in a cubicle earning 50k a year. [...]
When we look around the NFL, it’s not hard to spot guys that just must be miserable. We don’t know for sure that they are, but they should be. We are talking about top talents that are on awful teams with no hope of going anywhere. Nnamdi Asomugha comes to mind in Oakland (yes, we [...]
Apparently, the Washington Redskins aren’t the only team to think that Devin Thomas can’t play in the NFL. According to Mike Cranston, the Carolina Panthers have released the former Michigan State wide receiver. “#Panthers sign S Gerald Alexander and waive WR Devin Thomas,” he tweets with appropriate use of hashtags. Thomas was active for just [...]
The Carolina Panthers have placed running back DeAngelo Williams on season-ending injured reserve with a foot injury. He has a mid-foot sprain in his right foot and was only able to muster 361 yards this year in what can only be described as a lousy offense. So now we have to wonder whether or not [...]
There has been recent speculation (and for good reason) that the Carolina Panthers could trade speedy but best-years-are-behind-him Steve Smith before the trading deadline. Jimmy Clausen can’t make good use of him. And Matt Moore couldn’t either before he got concussed. But, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that it ain’t happening. Sources tell Schefter that [...]
The Carolina Panthers probably took the wrong USC wide receiver in the 2007 draft. In New York, Steve Smith has blossomed into a very nice player. The Panthers took the much higher profile Dwayne Jarrett back then, and have been rewarded with nothing but DWI arrests. That’s right, Jarrett got another one. He was arrested [...]
As if the passing game of the Carolina Panthers couldn’t get any worse. First, they have Matt Moore in there to start the season. He was bad and then got a concussion. So, his backup is rookie Jimmy Clausen. He’s a rookie….and not that good. So basically, their top WR (only WR), Steve Smith, has [...]
My girlfriend is not a sports fan. Despite relentless efforts to turn her, I’m pretty confident she would rather watch QVC, infomercials or play Call of Duty Modern Warfare. rather than spend time watching a good old athletic competition. Albeit, a girl who wants to play C.O.D. is reason enough to turn a girlfriend into [...]
Our pals at TMZ are reporting that former Carolina Panthers LB Mark Fields had a little incident with the mother of his six-year old child outside of a daycare facility in Phoenix, AZ. And when we say “incident,” we mean that, according to police documents, Fields beat her, put her in a chokehold, threw her [...]
Former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen has signed a four-year deal with the Carolina Panthers today, according to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter. A league source tells PFT that his bonus is $2.533 million and the fourth year of his deal has an escalator of $2.85 million in 2013. This is probably a very different contract than [...]
This is getting interesting. The original story of Carolina Panthers’ WR Steve Smith was about him breaking his arm while playing flag football with kids. But a league source tells PFT that he was actually playing with a group of adults. Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, spoke to Florio by phone on Monday and admitted that [...]
