(Rumor) Panthers interested in Cecil Shorts

[rodeo]

He isn't anyone I would target.

[Car123]

He isn't slow and has good speed. He is just injury prone.

Shorts could be a good WR for the team and it raises the level of receivers.

4.59 40 time

Please no.  Over the past 4 years, he has the worst catch rate of almost any WR with decent #s.  He had around 46% last year.

 

 

[PantherPhann89]

He's a good WR but he hasn't played a full season since coming into the league 4 years ago but he's averaged over 13 yards per catch.

[Pox 08]

Do not want.   He has never played a full season.  He is more of a #3 or #4 WR.   Imo....  We've a #3 and #4 WR already.... #3 = Cotch.  #4 = Philly/Ginn,  #5 = Bersin.         Need a solid #2 that can help take pressure off Benji... or that can take advantage of Benji drawing double and triple coverage  and get open and make plays.   I do not view Shorts as a player that can do either of those things.

Would honestly rather stick with Cotch as the #2 Wr,  if the other option was Shorts. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Funny how every time a FA WR name is brought up, it seems like 75% of the Huddle is all, "Do not want."  "Too slow."  "Not what we need."  etc. 

 

If we bring in a guy like Shorts, it's not going to be on a contract with much guaranteed money.  A guy like him would be brought in to COMPETE.  It's like you guys forget that as it stands right now, Jerricho Cotchery is our #2 WR.  Jerricho fuging Cotchery.  There are numerous FA WRs out there who would likely be available for quite reasonable contracts who would be an instant upgrade over Cotchery.

[Moorgan]

why? to replace Corchery? Cecil has never surpassed 1000 yards receiving. Would much rather go for a #2 caliber WR in the draft or just stick with Cotch

I would too. He's who I think we will get not who I want necessarily. When I said my pick I meant it as my prediction. I honestly don't know enough to know which possible Free Agent would be better. I think the draft would be a nice fill in at #2.

[Mojo]

I really don't want Shorts anyway. We have more than enough "slow" possession receivers.

Shorts is not slow man

[MountainHeel66]

Would honestly rather stick with Cotch as the #2 Wr,  if the other option was Shorts. 

 

I'd rather have both and a draft pick.

[Mojo]

Watch his highlights. He isn't slow. I don't care what his 40 time is.

[Nick_81]

Shorts is not slow man

Seems slow to me.

[LinvilleGorge]

4.59 40 time

 

Still waiting on Jerricho Cotchery to finish his 40.  He started right after breakfast.  Rich Eisen is kicked back on the sideline laughing.

Getting 900 receiving yards in Jacksonville like he did a few years ago is like getting 1800 yards on any other team
