Panthers working out former Clemson, Bucs DE Da'Quan Bowers

[ecu88]

I doubt we give up on Wegher (Rivera just called him an "everydown back".) I doubt it is Marlowe, because we protected him on the roster knowing he would not last on the PS (guessing) and our "depth" at S is misleading (Harper and Jones?).  Not Webb, too versatile and valuable on and off field.  Chandler was decent at LT vs. Pittsburgh and can play/has played G.  Mayo may clear waivers and make the PS.  Love we need early in the season while Star and KK get into shape. 

So what again does Amini do?

If he takes a DE spot, probably Horton.

Funny thing about Chandler was he sucks at Tackle but was excellent at Guard for us.

Not so much of a workout as it will be MRI's on every joint in his body and 5 on each knee.

 

No doubt at all that he has NFL starter talent so it's worth bringing him in for a visit but I don't expect anything to come of it.

They like the DEs they have now better than the fringe guys at some other spots.

 

could be right, but those fringe guys play special teams (most of them) which makes them less expandable than it seems.  Either way, I'm always for upgrading the talent of this team.

I have been wondering what Dave's issues were for taking this long. This guy has/had potential to be a top 15 DE in the league! If memory serves me, he got "healthy" about the time Smith took over and it just never "clicked".

If he is healthy, then signing him could be a huge defensive impact. If change of scenery is all he needed then we could have a 10 sack DE/DT for under a mil a year.....that kids, is how you become a dynasty in the NFL. If he is a bum, we have lost nothing. The organization does not move back in time

[chknwing]

who would they even cut to create a roster spot

[Ricky Spanish]

The DE version of Stephen Hill.

Low risk, high reward. Most likely won't amount to anything but it's worth kicking the tires. 

[MHS831]

Do they really think that during the week of the first game they would work out a guy because he is local and they wanted to do him a solid? (throw him a bone?)

That statement makes no sense.

They might check his knee, work him out, but TB was under no contractual pressure to release him.  He was a second rounder who was on a 1-year deal, probably not guaranteed.

So if they let a cheap talent go, why would we want him? (hypothetical)  I say he is not signed.

[Cammmmm]

I understand kicking tires. But I'm really interested in seeing what Ealy can do against other teams #1 maybe he will surprise us. Hell he had what 3 sacks in pre-season.

[rodeo]

He averages like 1 sack a year when he's healthy. If he signs for minimum money I guess he'd be fine behind Horton on the depth chart.

[propagandamachine]

Sign this M@tha Truck@ :) 

[csx]

I am not against him being in the rotation if they deem him healthy and helpful. I wouldnt expect much from him though.

[juliosantos]

Sign him

[Paa Langfart]

Didnt Tampa Bay pick up like 5  waivers guys ?  Sounds like a huge  % of the team quit on them in training camp.

[Toker Smurf]

Aren't his knees actually, literally disintegrateing?

They are puty,  not dust. us
