Man..  The guy has to hurtle one fence in camp, and he decides to hang em up

I heard rumblings as such, thus was left off my final roster projection. A lot of folks blasted me for not putting him on there when he was signed. When you are out of football for a year at his age, making a comeback is extremely difficult. 

 

Best of luck to him. 

[Mr. Scot]

Camp can be tough.

Sometimes it weeds out the half-hearted.

[Lemory]

Well poo.

Kinda weird. Two FAs sign with the Panthers and retire before even taking a snap.

Some arena league guy took the opportunity to tweet the Panthers his highlight reel haha

Meh, neither "retirement" is that weird.  I say "retirement" because as far as I know, Martin never actually turned in his paperwork to retire.  Houston was an aged vet in the twilight of his career trying to make a comeback.  My guess is that he simply saw that he could no longer hang or realized he no longer had the desire and hung up his cleats.  Nothing to be ashamed of there.  Jonathan Martin.. well, he's Jonathan Martin and that horse has been beat to death.  Nothing more needs to be said.

Lol

I had been excited about how deep we were at corner, especially with Houston if he returned to form.  So, this kind of sucks.

Pretty smart actually. 

[Cary Kollins]

yeah, Panthers want local guys that can come in right away. a 6'4 DB is basically a hog molly.
