Panthers claim tight end Temarrick Hemingway

[TheSpecialJuan]

CHARLOTTE -- The Panthers have claimed tight end Temarrick Hemingway, a former sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams back in 2016.

Hemingway, 6-foot-5 and 246 pounds, played in eight games as a rookie. After the Rams released him in 2018, he joined the Broncos' practice squad. Denver later promoted him to the active roster and he played in five games. The Broncos waived the 25-year-old yesterday. He has not yet recorded a catch in a regular season game.

SUPERBOWL!

Damn, do we ya think we have enough TE's? Not a single one outside of Olsen, Thomas, and Manhertz will make the team so i dont get why they are so hell bent on signing all these scrub TE's.

It seems like they’re hoping to find someone better than Manhertz

Yep, that's my take on it. I'm not surprised. Hurney had talked about the depth at TE in this draft class leading up to the draft. It seemed pretty obvious that they were looking at TEs this off-season. Not a huge priority, bit I do think they want to hedge their bets in case Olsen goes down again, plus starting to look at life after Olsen.

Could it be we don't know something about Olsen just yet and they do? The foot or going in to the booth sooner then we think.

Maybe we are putting him at OLB. He is same size as Burns & Miller.

Dang, how do I quote this five times? It feels like improving the #4-10 TE is on the top of the list. My best guess is Olsen told them this is his last year no matter what.

I don't believe so, they just signed him to one of the richest #3 TE contracts in the league. I don't see it since the guarantees are high and they all the space with kalils' 10 cap hit in 2020.

They should ask Vikings what they want for Rudolph instead of bringing in these JAGs
