Panthers sign RB D'Onta Foreman

[Big Sexy]

I think this will be a very good signing. This guy is ready to bust loose. He only needs the chance. Play C-MAC in the slot and keep him healthy... Win/Win...

Signings like this make me wonder what the hell were we doing with Ian Thomas.

I was really impressed when I saw him play this year.

Yea I liked him in that draft. Didn’t realize he was still in the nfl

Man, he was backing up King Henry very well the few times I saw him this year.

IMO this is a good signing I'm hoping for a RB committee. A big back like freeman could get 10 12 carries a game- CMC 7 or 8, and a 3rd back (Hubbard/Abdullah/someone else) could pickup a few as well. CMC could be used enough to continue to be and effective decoy. Stays in to pass pro. some and catches 8-12 balls a game out of slot and the backfield.

He has never played a full season (ACL/Bicep problems). Teams didn't want him on their opening day roster following the ACL injury. Brought in off the street mid season as an emergency/temporary RB for the Titans last season. Practice squad hero.

Colts and Falcons tossed him.

For a big back he doesn't have much power and gets taken off his feet easily. Stumbles and falls down often. Poor balance. Seems to want to avoid contact. Slow. Doesn't bring the same push he did before the ACL injury. Needs a strong interior OL that can open holes.

Looks more like a good undersized TE/H-back. Good hands and great in the open field.

A one and done player if he doesn't get cut in the preseason or tossed out during the season. Could be an ask by Watson. He wasn't receiving any offers. He has never been offered more than $1M for a season. Panthers overpaid for a practice squad player.

Exactly - he's pretty meh. 4.1 career YPC with a whopping 5 TDs in almost 1000 career carries who doesn't catch the ball... I guess if they want a one-dimensional power runner for short yardage then so be it, but this signing is not a needle-mover otherwise.

Man you always hating on somebody unless it's Calvin Ridley

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Wanted us to draft him BAD out of college. Huge power.

Was just thinking that. He can catch better than Ian Thomas or Chuba if you're looking for a checkdown guy that can actually get some yac and also pass block if necessary

[PantherPhann89]

Sounds like a good pickup, 230+ lbs, 4.45 40. We've been missing this...

[Jackie Lee]

Titans fans are pissed and confused about this one

[45catfan]

Not shabby, but the signings so far have been a mixed bag for me.

Foreman has 18 career catches in 4 seasons vs 1000 carries. He's not a receiving back.
