Panthers re sign Colin Jones to a 2 year deal

Recommended Posts

The guy has had one hell of a career as a special team player. He will not go away. 

The Panthers are holding onto their special teams captain.

Safety Colin Jones was set to become a free agent on Wednesday, but he’s not going to hit the open market. Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com reports that Jones has signed a two-year deal to remain with the team.

Jones has been with the Panthers since they traded a seventh-round pick to the 49ers to acquire him in August 2012. Jones has missed four games since arriving in Carolina and has seen the bulk of his playing time on special teams over the last seven seasons.

He had 20 tackles and an interception during the 2018 season. Safety Mike Adams is still set for free agency and the team has indicated he is not in their plans for 2019.

Love Colin on special teams. But that's it. Good resigning as long as he sticks to ST.

Agreed, he should never see the field at safety unless our starter and backup are injured. He is decent third string help who knows calls and where to line up.

There’s our splash. With the rookie pool we’ve got about $6-7m unless we make some decisions.

Lol we haven’t even started free agency yet. We will make moves and fill a few holes leading into the draft. Hurney can free up a lot of space with a couple restructures and by letting Kalil go as a post June 1.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.   
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
