Kind of feel bad for the guy since he didn't really get a chance but with him missing that extra point and a 7th round pick being on the line we couldn't afford to keep him around. That pick might not seem like much but sometimes that can be the difference between making a trade in the draft to move up or for trading for a person you want.

Yeah, cutting Gano without a legit replacement or even fuging plan was a huge botch job.

It was a major botch job, For all the flank people here want to give Gano he's a good kicker and it is just salt in the wound that we drafted a guy that is a top two kicker to replace him and lost out by trying to stash him.

Yeah, it was beyond dumb. The decision to try and stash Butker when he was our future plan, rather than just biting the bullet and cutting Gano then was just beyond idiotic. They tried to have their cake and eat it too and ended up with no cake at all.

A young kicker would have gave us more options, but because we snagged Zane G. from a practice squad we have to use a roster spot on him for at least 3 weeks, even if we cut him prior to 3 weeks- he takes up a spot. So most likely he's our guy for a while.

You can bench him but you can't cut him prior to 3 weeks on the roster.  Same difference I know but just wanted to clarify for those new to football.

      Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle

      By Basbear · Posted

      Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
