Patrick Crayton may be available by trade or from being cut.

[scpanther22]

It's either

they don't look at him as an upgrade to anyone on the roster (doubtful)

or

want to save the roster spots for young developing players (part of it)

or

don't want to pay his contract (ding ding)

true..2million base salary is too much..

prob will be a cheap no name guy that can play ST thats coming here

The Chargers just got him for a 7th round draft pick.

we caught that... we're on the next one now

Honestly, the Panthers like a lot of their young WRs. Seeing P.Crayton go to SD for a 7th shows they're more at ease w/group than you are.

That could make Josh Reed expendable.

Im pretty sure the Vikings FO is in hot pursuit of Vincent Jackson

Maybe, but they don't want his huge money demands.

a7th rounder....damn panthers

I don't think Crayton is the path the Panthers are taking, it seems that Carolina is trying to stay young, Plus hes not a blocking WR like a Mushin.

That is the problem. I could care less if they can block at this point, we need wrs that can get open and catch. And don't give me that run first bs, that's obvious. You CAN"T become one dimensional and expect to win.

[Boltergeist]

That could make Josh Reed expendable.

That's my guess - go Floyd/Naanee/Davis/Crayton with Williams and Ajirotutu fighting for the 5th slot.

A 31 year old WR that had 37 catches for 622 yards and 5TDs for a 7th round draft pick..I probably would have made that trade unless I had my eyes set on someone else. Which...They might.

a7th rounder....damn panthers

My thoughts exactly. Cheap veteran for a 7th rounder. Seems like a no brainer to me.

This is a funny thread.
