"Mucas" is back!

@Panthers

The #Panthers have claimed TE Marcus Lucas off waivers from the Bears. The Missouri product spent 2014 on Carolina's practice squad.

Cam nicknamed Marcus Lucas 'Mucas' which was the best nickname in the entire locker room

sometimes the answer is already on the roster, released, signed to another team, then released again and resigned.

Can he play corner?

Trying hard to find that 3rd TE it seems. Or even a Dickson replacement.

 

RIP Swolebones and all the false hope you carried.

Holy cow.  That makes 8 Tight Ends on the roster at this moment.... 

I know that there are two distinct TE roles...  receiving TE and a Richie Brockel type blocking TE... but still.... this is a surprise. 

Dickson and Simonson are likely going to have trouble making the roster!

 

FYI, I believe we went into camp last year with 6 TEs on the roster.    Here's the list I saved last year.

Dickson, Ed

Olsen, Greg

Williams, Brandon

Brockel, Richie

Childers, Jamie

Simonson, Scott

Mucinex is pricey, but worth it.

It is possible that they will try him at WR

I have to say, this is one of the most unpredictable offseasons so far for the Panthers...

When a bunch of us here were getting draft crushes on TE Hunter Henry it seemed like it could be a solid pick, and many of expressed a desire to get more depth behind Greg, begin developing a TE for the future.... and potentially upgrade from Dickson.

But did any of us foresee or predict this wholesale attention and commitment to upgrade a position that wasn't an obvious position of need?

This really excites me.  It's very clear Gettleman & our coaches aren't going to be happy to settle for a position group that is "good enough" but are relentlessly pursuing a plan to upgrade.   AWESOME.

I wonder how much he makes for a preseason. It's not like he makes the roster. It has to be tough knowing you have little chance.

[KB_fan]

He looked pretty good in camp last season.  I think he was one of the guys we were most sorry to cut if I recall comments from Ron or Dave...

Given that we claimed him off waivers, and we're 2nd to last on the waiver wire, it's clear he wasn't high on any other team's wish list....

No, just defensive tackle.
