Panther's sign Chris Hogan WR

[Greatman77]

He did well on my FF team. I approve.

Hogan's a very reliable guy. Reminds me a lot of Ricky Proehl '03 - '05.

Thought it would make sense to do so, I don't think we're going to release Torrey Holt. We'll probably use him mostly as a burner (DJ & Samuel as #1 & 2#, Wright as #3 & Hogan in the slot).

Torry Holt?!

The needing a WR early in the draft is over now right??

I'm not convinced we could get a grilled cheese sandwich.

It's actually national grilled cheese day so the market is saturated. No way we get a decent one today. 40% fat free cheddar tops. Not even gouda.

Pats paid him 3.5 mill last year, and didn't want him back...what do you think Hurney got him for...2 mill?  1.5 mill?

Anway we're saving millions by releasing Torrey.

Chris Hogan on going from Brady to Newton: "Tom was great. He demanded a lot and was an ultimate competitor. From what I hear and just from watching Cam, he’s the ultimate competitor as well. Really excited about the opportunity to play with him."

This dude makes big plays in big time situations. Love this pickup.

[PantherPhann89]

Looks like Hurney took a page out of Gettleman's book. So far, so good...

No way we would sign Hogan without releasing Smith.  That’s way too much for maybe a 5th option, at best.  

We only kept him around for insurance until we found someone else.

Solid pick up. Bye Torrey!

Chris Hogan says he's been meeting a lot of people around the building today, but they haven't gotten around to defining his role. (I think he's going to be playing on the outside a lot, with a little time in the slot, FWIW)

Hogan calls Cam & CMC "the ultimate competitors" - obviously excited to be able to get on the field with the two of them.

Chris Hogan went to Greg Olsen's rival high school.

Chris Hogan went to Greg Olsen's rival high school. Never played against him, but he says he "grew up watching" Olsen and admiring him.

Chris Hogan, on how many times he's been asked about lacrosse in the last five years. "(laughs). Too many to count."

Probably not... this looks like a place holder type signing to me. If the draft doesn’t unfold the way hurney wants this is a contingency plan. He can’t be making uncuttable money and could be lost in roster cut down. Either way something is up... no way torry, Wright, and hogan end up on the final roster along with the others.

Reggie Bush gave Chris Hogan his "7-eleven" nickname (because he's always open). Hogan said he hopes the nickname sticks in Carolina - "Because that means I'm doing my job right."

Chris Hogan knows the Olsen family pretty well. His NJ high school was the rival of Olsen's. They didn't play each other, but Olsen's dad coached against Hogan. Greg and Chris have gotten to know each other a bit in the NFL.
