MAJOR HOLDOUT UPDATE………

Panthers screwed around and let Butker slip away... hopefully they learned their lesson, keep Thicker Kicker. Tell Eddie to screw off.

Thanks to Eddy for his contributions, but his clutch kick misses and inability to be trusted with 53+ yarders doesn't warrant security or an extension...  especially when you have a rookie in camp who isn't missing anything and nailing kicks from 60 on the regular. 

I honestly wish they would just tell Eddy to kick rocks prior to camp so we can move on.

I'm guessing they are already planning on cutting him, but you keep him around in camp to "compete" with the rookie, but in reality it's just to keep the rookie hungry and for him to hopefully learn some things from the vet.  We're not contenders this year, no reason to pay good money to a vet who isn't elite when you have a rookie with real potential.  

Worst case scenario is he has a bad year and we're looking for a new kicker next year, but best case scenario is he becomes a stud with that big leg of his and is our kicker for the next decade plus.

Eddy isn't our franchise kicker for the next 10 years, there's no reason to go with him and I'm sure the staff already knows it.
