Panthers withdraw offer to UDFA

[TheSpecialJuan]

For the Panthers, they didn’t realize that former Washington State defensive tackle Robert Barber is facing a trial on second-degree felony assault charges.

Via Jourdan Rodrique of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers made the offer on Saturday night, Barber accepted it, and then the Panthers rescinded it once becoming aware of the legal entanglement.

Barber’s trial for allegedly punching a fellow Washington State student at a July 2016 party is due to begin on May 15.

A little embarrassing to be honest. The Huddler who made the UDFA signing thread about this guy found out about this incident immediately using the Google. How did the Panthers not know?

It really isn't a matter of principal, it's a matter of uncertainty. If we weren't sure he would be here then why waste time evaluating him throughout the off season?

They probably didn't realize he was going to trial. I doubt he was cut because of the assault itself, only cut because they didn't realize that he may actually be convicted.

With this guy being an NFL hopefully, how has he not already plead himself out of this? Take whatever deal is on the table and get it behind you. He's probably not getting a shot until this gets resolved. The video is pretty cut and dry. He's not getting anywhere taking it to trial.

I believe the Bengals picked him up

 

ETA: I saw this on twitter but I think people were being sarcastic

from what i remember though it sounds like he was just in a fight. Seems kinda reactionary.

The video is out there. He sucker punched a guy from behind who wasn't even looking his direction and then punched him again as he was laid out on the ground. It definitely wasn't a "fight".

I love that our organization doesn't even bother with guys that have character concerns. He can get just as good of players that are good family men with good heads on their shoulders. Let other teams deal with the trash

Embarrassing but at least they caught it in time

Only if you are looking for it to be.  I think it's respectable.
