Beane after dark strikes again.  Obviously Tabor wanted him for teams.  Would be nice to know if it was a practice squad signing or a roster signing.

Tabor needs to prove he is up to task before adding his own preferences the roster, especially if no value outside special teams. Otherwise he will end up on the Farwell/Smiley route.

In order to be up to the task he needs guys who can fill the roles, every team has guys whose primary position is to play special teams, it sounds like you don't value that.  It is the way it is, they are not going to keep 8 WR's who cant play teams.

TBD Public Service Announcement: The "gotta be an exPanther or Beane won't sign him" bit is long over, and even more critically, it is not witty anymore and has no comedic value. Can we put it to rest?

 

 

Also to put to rest:

 

"I hear Josh Allen made the 53"

 

"Will Josh make the 53?"

They just can't help themselves can they. They have to sign a Carolina player. It's part of the rules

OMG nobody else thought of that

This is a bizarre signing to me if it’s for the active roster.  It’s obvious for pure ST but who do you cut to make room? Lewis is great on ST and McD loves him. Same with Ingram. I don’t understand what offset language in his Broncos contract would put us on the hook for 1.3 million. Once he’s cut isn’t that contract void except for the Broncos guaranteeing money?

It never ends....is this organization even capable of evaluating talent outside of Carolina?

no-  he is incapable of evaluating talent outside of Carolina.  Great poast
 

Are you even capable of not going overboard whenever Beane does something that you don’t agree with?

I'll bet the roster move is Hancock (shoulder) to IR - designated to return. Franklin to the active roster.

Yea this could make sense as well. Lewis would act as the 4th Safety in the meantime

My fifteen seconds of fame….

Sam lived in a condo that I delivered to.

I delivered a certified letter, he had to sign for, from the Panther’s his second season ( after they got rid of Rhule) 

He was so excited and proud of himself , he actually said, I play for the Panthers and went and got his helmet (?!?!) and showed it to me.

Can he play🤷‍♂️

[Kaenon]

Need to know who was cut.

[SCBills]

Know nothing about this guy except he’s apparently a ST demon, but a quick Twitter search shows Broncos fans were confused that he was cut and Panthers fans wanted him back.

It's possible, but I wouldn't be too sure about that. 

 

 

Annoying seeing those posts in real time.  Anyone want to mention what position he plays?  Yesterday we were getting drafts slot, college attended, and if they were a starter.  Today, just a name.

Well they already had a Hancock so they added a Franklin.  

 

They all hang together, you know.

 

(he is a special teamer who plays safety)

Remember when Bill Polian left here and went to Carolina?  Well, he loved signing old Bills.  Funny.
