Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith suffered a broken arm this past weekend while playing a flag football game. He had surgery on Sunday night and the Panthers say they don’t know when he will return to action, but that he certainly won’t be ready for training camp. Panthers GM Marty Hurney says that Smith “feels [...]
Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis has suffered another big injury. Today at OTA’s, he tore his ACL while backpedaling during a drill. The injury is to his right knee, which he also shredded back in November. This doesn’t seem like a good trend. But, at least he signed his one-year restricted free agent tender yesterday [...]
Our buddy JA thinks this is hysterical and we like easy ways to add content, so this is a win-win. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tries to give a report about A.J. Feeley signing with the Carolina Panthers last year and he gets all choked up. He continues to choke and choke and hack and spit. This [...]
Brand-spanking new Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers says he is very excited about joining a team with so much tradition. We’re sure that he’s uber pumped already looked up the history and is soaking up everything he can about the Decatur Staleys, George Halas and Brian Piccolo. In our view, tradition is much more [...]
According to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, if Julius Peppers doesn’t sign with the Chicago Bears, the New England Patriots will give the Philadelphia Eagles some competition for his services. The big rumor has been that if Peppers didn’t sign in Chicago, he was off to Philadelphia for his next visit. “Pats and Eagles [...]
According to Jay Glazer, the Carolina Panthers have released QB Jake Delhomme. Delhomme got a big contract after stinking up the joint against the Arizona Cardinals in the 2008 playoffs, but clearly he is not someone the organization wants running the show moving forward. “I’m reporting a surprise release, panthers are releasing QB Jake Delhomme, [...]
Anyone remember the episode of “What’s Happening?” when Dwayne comes up with a system for picking football games? Then Rerun’s cousin Ike decides to take Dwayne’s advice and bet $500 (he and his wife’s vacation fund) on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the Oakland Raiders? This was back when the Bucs were horrific and [...]
Tons of teams are believed to be interested in free-agent-to-be Julius Peppers (wait until the bidding starts, tons will fall off very quickly). But, you can bet that his price tag will be through the roof when free agency starts.
According to Jason Reid of the Washington Post, the Washington Redskins are expected to go after soon-to-be free agent DE Julius Peppers. This isn’t entirely surprising since he’s probably the biggest name on the market, there probably won’t be a cap and Dan Snyder likes to spend tons of money on names regardless of whether [...]
Multiple league sources tell the Boston Globe that they wouldn’t go near free-agent DE Julius Peppers on the open market this offseason. According the sources, for the amount of money he’s going to command, he is much too risky considering his inconsistency and questionable desire to play football. “I wouldn’t touch him, for that money [...]
The Carolina Panthers aren’t planning a playoff run this year, so they now have to start thinking about whether or not to franchise All-Pro defensive end Julius Peppers for the third straight year. The 29-year old pass rusher had 10.5 sacks this past season which was good for tenth in the NFL. Peppers has spent [...]
Carolina Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross says that his broken tibia and fibula should be healed by the Super Bowl. This is great news for the Panthers if they can find a way to get to that final game. He would provide a huge boost to their offensive line.
Carolina Panthers QB Jake Delhomme is headed to injured reserve, according to Adam Schefter, after he tested his injured finger this week and the swelling continued. This is probably good news for Panthers fans, who have absolutely had it with his lousy play. So, is the Delhomme era over in Charlotte? Could be, but it’s [...]
After the New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Panthers CB Chris Gamble told the Boston Globe that WR Randy Moss quit. “We knew he was going to shut it down,” Gamble said. “That’s what we wanted to do him. That’s what we did. … He’d just give up a lot … Slow [...]
Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is nice and rested after missing last weekend’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He sat out due to a bum ankle, but the sprain was not that severe. Williams was back at practice on Wednesday, competing in all phases of the workout and should be almost 100% come [...]
Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams’ ankle was bothering him all week, causing him to miss three straight practices. Jonathon Stewart will be carrying the load for the Panthers and should be a solid RB1 for fantasy teams. However, if you have a running [...]
Carolina Panthers starting QB Jake Delhomme is not likely to play this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After his four-interception performance last week, you’d think it was because he stinks and got benched. But no, it seems like it’s due to injury. “Panthers QB Jake Delhomme unlikely to play Sunday due to finger injury [...]
UPDATE: Steve Smith is officially listed as active and in the starting lineup. Adam Schefter tweets “Panthers hopeful and optimistic Steve Smith will play but won’t know for sure until pregame warmups.” PHOTO CAPTION: Row, row, row your boat If Smith can get through pre-game warm-ups without any set backs to his sore ribs, expect [...]
Carolina Panthers tackle Jordan Gross was carted off the field during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. According to the Rock Hill Herald, Gross has an ankle injury and will not return to the game. Travelle Wharton took his place at left tackle and was flagged for holding on the very next play. That’s what [...]
Carolina Panthers WR Muhsin Muhammad is out this week and didn’t even make the trip to New Orleans for their showdown with the Saints, according to Charles Chandler’s Twitter page. “Four #Panthers players did not make trip to New Orleans due to injuries — FB Hoover, WR Muhammad, FS Godfrey and TE Rosario,” he tweets. [...]
Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox was non-committal on Monday as far as who would start at QB for him next week. “I don’t know that and even if I did I probably wouldn’t announce it quite yet,” Fox said, per Steve Reed of CarolinaGrowl.com. “We’ll evaluate it and see who gives us the best [...]
This is just brainless. Carolina Panthers special teams (special as in “we’re all winners”) gunner Dante Wesley made a horrific hit on a defenseless Clifton Smith after he called a fair catch. The ref made the right call to eject this idiot. There is no evidence present to defend Wesley’s decision. Someone will have a [...]
Thanks to Chad for tipping us off on this one. Local DJ White Shadow with the Ace & TJ show is camping out on the radio station’s rooftop until the Carolina Panthers win a game. “I know we’ve had a rough start to this season, and it really disappoints me to see all the Panthers [...]
We think Steve Smith was kidding when he told Jake Delhomme that he never really liked him as a QB, but that he loves him as a person. But we aren’t really sure why he would say something like that in the midst of Delhomme’s awful, awful game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. The [...]
The Carolina Panthers took Donovan McNabb’s rib, and now they have taken A.J. Feeley, according to our buddy Reuben Frank of Phillyburbs.com. Any hopes that the Eagles might be able to bring back Feeley disappeared as the Panthers have added the veteran to replace a bad backup QB (Josh McCown, who is out a month [...]
