Panthers sign WR Russell Shepard

[Krovvy]

This guy played for Tampa for three years, and I can't remember ever hearing his name.

"Shepard was pressed into action far more as a receiver last season than previous seasons due to injuries suffered by Vincent Jackson, Louis Murphy, Cecil Shortsand Adam Humphries. Shepard caught 23 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns in 2016. He also had a key fumble recovery in the Bucs' Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers, knocking the ball loose from punt returner Ted Ginn Jr."

Gettleman is cold-blooded...

Only reason I really have much knowledge on him was cause I got him for one week in Fantasy and he delivered.

At special teams, he's a huge upgrade by far. 

As far as a speedster, no. He'll fill in the slot most likely with us. Underrated pass catcher than some Buc fans are freaking out over losing.

Which is a huge problem considering who we have in our WR group already.

He's a slot guy. Fills in that need, and is a reliable catcher.

What is this 'reliable' word you speak of? Never heard of it

Just looking purely at statistics, this guy wished he had Tiquan Underwood's resume.

He is a gunner.  Replaces Teddy Williams.

Now this I can get on board with.   Sign this guy Dave!

Minor special teams signing. Don't think for a second that he's intended to replace Ginn. That's still to come.

[Zithers]

god knows we need special teams help. our coverage units are horrible. he was good enough to be tampa's ST captain. as far as contributing to offense, not getting my hopes up.

Can be 4th or 5th WR and play gunner on special teams. He is basically combining Philly and Teddy all in one player. Would be a good signing.
