Panthers sign Jordan Matthew's

[Jmac]

Thirty one years old. WR/TE who last played with the eagles. Hasn't played in a few years. 

Ask me why they signed him and I have no answer. Old JAG that will not add anything to this team at all. That's the best they can do I guess.

Panthers gonna panther.

Wtf????  Had completely forgot about him and would've never guessed he was even looking to still play as long as he's been gone.

He was a solid player for a stretch though...  iirc, injuries took a toll on him.

I think Fitts saw the eagles sign Julio and he decided to do some GMing of his own.

Anything to help, I suppose, but it's still kind of odd if not underwhelming.

Jordan Matthew's what?

[LinvilleGorge]

Maybe that ball bouncing off Ian Thomas' head was the last straw.

I thought Matthews was in camp this past summer. I recall a former WR that had big name status but had not produced of late. 

Waste of a roster spot, IMO.

Signing WR/TEs who’s last reception was 4 years ago is a decent enough reason. He also only had 33 yards in 2019, so effectively it’s 5 years since he really played.

We signed two starting FA WRs and have 2 recent round 2 WRs. We have a recent round 3 TE, signed a starting TE and have a TE we just extended, but we needed to sign a guy whose last season was 33

Of late? Man, it’s been 5 years since he’s had more than 33 yards in a season.

Isn't he Jerry Rice's nephew or something?
