Has he had any experience? He’s quick and has some wiggle but I’d like to find someone with experience who doesn’t fumble. It would be nice to find someone who is a threat but at this point in the season security trumps everything.

Big return threats also risk fumbles. Would rather have someone who can get 10-15 yards on a punt return and secure the football every time, than a guy who might score a TD but is more likely to fumble

Rivera loves scrappy hard working players so why not damon sheehy guiseppe, the guy who lied his way to the nfl.  He has good speed and did return return a kick for a td in the preseason.

I actually loved this guy's story, and would be on board with bringing him in.

I’d use the opportunity to put the ball in Moore or Samuel’s hands about 5 more times a game. 

Samuel has almost no experience as a punt returner.

How about somebody who can make a fair catch and not fumble?

Honestly the Panthers might be better off just not sending anyone back to return punts. Just send everyone to block it every time. It's a bold strategy but 0% risk.

Him and even Wright would have to prove to me they can’t in practice. But since they haven’t been used thus far in their careers, maybe they have.

Some guy that used to play here was pretty good at returning kicks...

Antonio Brown is available

For the few minutes it takes the NFL to put him on the Exempt List, sure. After that you're paying him to do nothing.

The risk is you get more penalties (offsides, running into kicker, and roughing the kicker) and extend drives. I'm sure someone in our similar predicament has considered it though.

Is Brandon Zylstra not on our practice squad or roster still?

I think he was active in London.

He fair caught the punt that lead to the free kick.

Ah yes you’re right. He’s the second guy back there on KO returns as well
