Olindo Mare to Panthers for a 4 Year Deal

[CatMan72]

Lloyd is cheaper and younger than Mare with a bigger leg, yet I'm supposed to believe we signed Mare as a KO specialist only when we're kicking off 5 yards further anyway?

They let Lloyd try kicking FG's... didn't go so well.

The First National Bank of Jerry Richardson is open for business! What recession?

Some of you guys are freaking out too much over a guy with the same career % as Kasay. Just wait till we know more before everyone goes crazy.

The only thing that seems amiss is if Kasay is retiring, it must have been a recent decision, especially when we could have looked at someone in the draft.

[rayzor]

finally decided to have a FG kicker who can do kickoffs.

time to move on.

I am going to go with a yes on this one. Stand up guy, only original panther left, and a fixture in Charlotte for a long time. But I am hoping that Mare is going to be the Kickoff guy for now and then go into a FG kicker when and if Kasay ever decides to leave.

"When and if Kasay ever decides to leave" Lol...I'm going to say at some point Kasay will HAVE to leave. Not really an if there.

[The Other Colbert]

If they knew Kasay was going to retire, they really should have nabbed that Nebraska kicker before Philly did.

Honestly, I don't think Kasay had made up his mind yet. I wish he had because I wanted the Nebraska kicker too

I hope the OG John Kasay ain't done

OG son.

[CatMan72]

mare is going to be our new kicker not our new KO guy. you guys be funny.

Even though Football Outsiders rated him the best KO guy "for years"?

[CPF4LIFE]

Let's be real for a minute, I love me some Kasay but this 2 kicker thing had to come to an end... we need all the help we can get and we're carrying 2 kickers because Kasay can't KO anymore.

This.

and is 38 and just got 12 million dollars and has a well known history of blowing it in big games.

If this is the future, I think I prefer the past.

for 4 years 12 million dollars? are you insane?

[Sword]

if kasay is gone there goes another friend to smitty that could keep him under control..trade imminent?.

[KBRed]

DAMN YOU JR/HURNEY

YOU GAVE SOMEONE A $12 MILLION DOLLAR DEAL WITH (speculating here because of the signing bonus) $4 MILLION GUARANTEED. HOW WILL WE EVER RECOVER FROM THIS?

YOU DOOMED US ALL!

Your Caps Lock is on.
