Panthers signed.........

[ncguy2184]

Panthers signed WR/KR Dexter Jackson, DE Eric Moore, and CB Marcus Walker to reserve/future contracts.

Jackson, the Bucs' 2008 second-round pick, was on Carolina's practice squad for most of the year. It's a bad sign he couldn't overtake Kenny Moore, but Jackson may get a chance to battle for slot receiver duties in 2010 camp

Yeah I was wondering why they didnt try using him at kick returns, but then I looked at his stats and they werent that impressive so I guess nothing changed when he was practicing... So but he's young and could be a good slot reciever...

He was afraid of getting hit. They probably wanted to try to mix him in to bring some speed to the field. I know I would have, make D's have to gameplan for one more guy.

I like Jackson's potential in the slot. He has face-melting speed (ran a 4.27 40 at the Combine). He avg over 22 ypc at App State his senior year. He's hands and route running could use work but he does have potential.

Wow, scared of getting hit... He had better learn to get over that, cause not everyone coming out of college gets picked up on a team, he's lucky and should take full advantage of it, no matter what his role is.

He probably isnt very good at it. Why else would the Bucs cut a second rounder so early, in favor of Clifton Smith. But, he played his college ball in-state so signing him would help keep our front office in good graces to the App State grad Panther fans.
