Probably, but I am rooting for the kid. He went to high school with my kids and by all accounts is a really good guy.

Just goes to show you how hard it is to actually play in the NFL.  Big time recruit, good college career... and now hoping for practice squad.

Has to be a humbling business - especially when you’ve basically given your life to your craft.

Interesting that the Panthers chose to bring him back as they seemed to me enamored with players that mirrored CMC’s skill set.

Hood’s skill set is closer to Anderson’s.

He still has one of the best high school highlight tapes that I’ve ever seen from a North Carolina football player, just runs over player after player.

I think we still want a power RB on the roster. 

If we're going to stick with the two active RB philosophy, I'd like to see us get more strategic with it based on the match up. Get another RB that better mirrors CMC in terms of being a good runner in space with receiving ability, but alternate him with a power running like Hood in terms of who suits up and who sits week to week based on that particular match up. If it's a stout run D, play CMC-lite. Weak run D that we can beat up on the ground, play the power guy.

Re-signed

Don't mean to be a dick, but the way things go these days I have no idea if a dude has signed a new contract or quit the team due to some off the field issues. That hyphen is important.

Thank  you.  I thought he hung em up.

Hope he is better with capitalization to avoid similar misconceptions:   image.png.971f3435531f1c27877ac2f741fdeb06.png

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
