Local LB just wants his chance with the Panthers (LINK)

Probably wouldn't hurt to have an extra body during rookie camp, but he is a 230 lbs, slow LB. If he called up wanting a tryout and I was in charge I'd say, "Sure, show up next weekend," but he's not even making the 90 man roster especially here. He's better off putting his efforts towards a team a little more needy in LB department.

There is only so many linebackers you can have in for two days and still dish out enough reps so that everyone gets a fair chance to impress. Water it down too much, and no one wins.

True but with 1 UDFA, 1 tryout player and then Cash at LB/S being the only confirmed LBs I was operating under the assumption that an extra body would be a good thing. Especially if someone pulls a muscle or tweaks an ankle. I'm sure that's not a complete list, but having too many is better than not having enough to do all the drills they want to. 7 on 7s or whatever.

Gettleman doesn't give a poo a sap stories or "the local guy" he wants the best players possible

He's playing the wrong position if he wants to make this team as an rookie, especially a udfa. To say we're stacked is an understatement
