Cameron Artis-Payne - Re-signed*

[Khyber53]

He's apparently the Nic Goings of the modern Panthers. Except with a lot less mileage on him. A lot less.

Maybe, in a pinch he'll come in and have a couple of those excellent games like Nic did back in the day. 

I've never been a big supporter of CAP, but there is something to say about filling out the bulk of your roster with lunchpail-carrying guys who know the playbook, the players and can do the job at a respectable level when called upon for a relatively small cap hit. And he may be more in the special teams mix if they are planning on Samuel moving away from return duties.

Sure am glad we resigned this guy. Has been a valuable asset and a steal in the 5th round

Don't laugh, and I mean it- I want to see what Reggine Bonnafon and Hood can do.  Not interested in clogging up developmental opportunities for young guys with a guy on the down slope of his "career."

 

Did his career have an "up slope"?

Just a flat line my friend.  Not even a bump in that career road.

Panthers have resigned RB Cameron Artis-Payne to a one-year deal. Would expect CAP to compete with at least one other running back who is not on the roster for the spot backing up Christian McCaffrey.

The Panthers' honest look at Cameron Artis-Payne gets another year - he'll return to Carolina in 2019. Ron Rivera seemed high on the RBs in this draft class at the Combine though, so I still won't be shocked to see them draft one

We just resigned the guy with the 18th most rush yards in franchise history.  this will surely create superb owls.

[TheRed]

So why exactly did we make it a point to go out, and get CJ Anderson if Artis-Payne was supposedly the answer at RB2 all along?

We have tried the "run CMC into the ground" formula, and it netted us 7 wins last year. The teams with more versatility offensively were the ones competing for the chance to hoist up a Lombardi trophy.

[BIGH2001]

This guy has got to be the freshest player who has ever been in the league as long as he has.  He literally never plays but keeps hanging around the roster.  

[BrianS]

So, assuming the Panthers gave him very little up front money, and the reported one year deal, he's holding a spot on the roster that can easily and cheaply be freed up if someone else steps up and out-produces him.

Nothing wrong with the deal, again, assuming little guaranteed money.

Nah. This time we're going to give him lots of carries.

l also predict this will be the year that Damiere Byrd has a breakout season, Josh Gordon stays clean and Michael Vick finally masters the West Coast Offense.

Maybe now that he's on his second contract, he'll have entered Rivera Gritty Vet territory.

[tiger7_88]

I fully 100% expect now that we'll use our 2nd round pick on a promising running back and he'll spend the entire year on the sideline watching CAP get his carries.

I think it's been more of a flat line.
