Panthers bring Jordan Matthews back to 53-man roster

So why cut him to begin with?

I was thinking the same thing.  Only thing I could come up with is the FO was doing some shuffling with who was waiver eligible, and if Matthews wasn't, we kept a player from going to waivers while telling him he was going to be a cut and sign.

i feel good about this combo of Sanders, Matthews, and Tremble. Tremble is kind of fun to watch and the guy can make some big plays.

 

And then there's Ian. I guess he can block and we need that so....

Awesome!  Can anyone explain the gymnastics of the process?

I don't know all the nuances so this is me kind of guessing, but I believe if you are a veteran you are not subject to waivers, you can sign wherever you want. My guess is we had an agreement with him, we will cut him to do roster magic or whatever is needed to do all of our claims with the understanding he would not sign with another team and we would bring him back today to the 53. You scratch our back, we scratch yours kind of thing. I imagine this allowed us to do something like keep a player we didn't want to cut and risk losing on the roster long enough or something like that
