Panthers claim OT Jonathan Martin

[Bartin]

I'm good with it.

 

 

EDIT: But I'm not really sure how claiming off the waiver wire works. How does the contract aspect of it work?

 

We take on his existing contract. He has 1 year left at $1.042M on his rookie deal.

[Montsta]

He would fit in on the huddle that is for sure

Panthro wins the huddle today.

[Soul Rebel]

I'm not a big fan, but I'd see it as an "aw hell, why not" signing.

 

Maybe he can be coached up.  If not, no major consequences.

 

Same way I viewed the Oher signing. Wasn't doing cartwheels, but thought it could possibly work. Martin, for different reasons might not work out, but similar mindset for me with these two signings.

worth a look. if he sucks you cut his ass in camp.

 

zero reason to get upset over this unless you're one of those troglodytes who whines about how back in mah day you just up n' punched a feller in the face if he was being a bully but now society's just all pussified and whatnot

He's in the last year of his 2nd round, 4-year contract.

All the Panthers owe him is his contractually obligated salary.

Lol, this will be an interesting thread.

[AceMan]

Not a fan of this signing, but what the hay...we'll see what happens

[panthers34]

I predict he gets cut in camp after we draft someone 

[Panthro]

I know you're being nice, but come on dude. You know when this signing came across your news feed you face palmed like the rest of us.

 

i liked it. It doesn't for our hand in the draft.

FTW

This guy is awful. No, he's not better than Byron Bell. He's much much worse.

 

I'm hoping our OT situation is solid enough by the start of the season that he doesn't make the final roster. God help Cam if Martin ends up starting somehow.

well we are on a site where people try to compare their desk jobs to being a professional athlete

[ctrcat]

LOVE it!!  I was an advocate last year and his college coach who should know, Harbaugh, thought enough of him to bring him in.  Being dumped by the disasters in Miami and San Fran is not a death knell for a CHEAP 25 year old with a ton of potential!! 

 

We desperately needed another OT and the value in this signing is far more than overpaying for another vet nobody. 

[tiger7_88]

I don't have to be that tough, because I'm not a professional football player.

Would pay good money to see how tough you would be to his face though.
