David Mayo undergoes hernia surgery

[WarPanthers89]

I hope he has a speedy recovery and that we re sign him cheap for depth. He is a good guy who has always played hard, and was a solid contributor for a former 5th round pick. 

Panthers linebacker David Mayo recently had sports hernia surgery, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Mayo has begun his rehab and is expected to make a full recovery.

Mayo, 25, is scheduled to become a free agent next month.

He has played in 59 of 64 games since the Panthers made him a fifth-round pick in 2015. Mayo has four career starts, including three last season.

Mayo has made 36 career tackles and two pass breakups.

"I want your DOR, Mayo!!!"

It'll only be cheap if he wants it to be.

Mayo was one of the ones I was worried about getting away this offseason. The surgery timing might be in the Panthers' favor, however.

I really want him back, but I expect that he could get a lot more elsewhere. Learning from Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis looks really good on your resume'.

wat

no idea what the market will bear for him, but I like him as Luke's backup a lot.

If not, get ready for our annual 5th round linebacker.

that'll happen regardless if he resigns here or not

Mayo is a serviceable special teamer.  He has looked AWFUL the past couple of years when he has had time at LB.  He's definitely regressed (from potentially having promise to now having no promise at all).  I'm fine to keep him around in the mold of a Colin Jones, but he should never see the field at LB, just like Colin should never see the field at safety or nickel.  I say we just let his ass go, and keep Andre Smith and Carter, then draft a LB late.
