Panthers Sign CB Chris Houston

[BlackCats2013]

I like low risk signings. If he isn't back healthy or he cannot contribute cut him

Same cb from the falcons?

Trying to find someone anyone to replace Norman next year.  If Norman plays decent OR even close to how he did last season he will be too expensive for us.  While that makes me sad its all business.....KEEP POUNDING!!!

Same cb from the falcons?

​Yes.

I asked some Falcons fans what they thought of him, and a Lions fan as well.

The Falcons fans said: "He was good against the run and is big for a corner just cant cover."

"Also Detroit's defense could cover it up alot better than we could. So Carolina's should be able to do the same."

My Lion's fan friend stated: "I loved him. Sad to see him go. Great Pickup"

So, take that for what it's worth.

Seems like he's healthy and has a great attitude - not coming in expecting to be given a position based on seniority.  I like it.  Bryan Strickland has an interview with him following today's minicamp.

Houston feels like he's stepping into great situation. He's excited about the chance to compete for a spot on such an accomplished defense but also realizes that increases the challenge he faces.

"This is one of the top defenses in the league - I watched them on the tube last year. They can do some great things," Houston said. "I can bring a veteran presence wherever they need me – whether it's special teams, in the locker room, being there if somebody goes down or being a starter. But I'm just taking one day at a time, learning the system.
