Marty Hurney called Kasay to inform him of the Mare signing today according to Steve Reed as a heads-up. Hurney told Reed that Kasay has plans to continue playing in the league.

He WILL be cut tomorrow.

Kasay is going to be cut if he's not retiring. We signed Mare so we didn't need to carry two kickers.

How about some respect, Marty?

He meant that as in, he is getting another kicking job for another team.

I honestly, for the life of me, never thought I would see the day when the Panthers would release John Kasay. It will happen tomorrow.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Yeah that's my point. We signed Mare and are showing Kasay the door apparently. Just not yet.

And the threads just keep coming.

I think it's crap we couldn't have signed a kicker better than Kasay.

[JakeFlake]

He will be cut tomorrow.

How about some respect, Marty?

Eh? They showed him plenty of respect, even notifying him of their plans *before* carrying them out:

The Panthers made contact with K John Kasay to tell them of their plans to add a kicker before they actually did it. Class move.

This is a business... and this team is moving in a new direction. With the new rules they wanted to go with a new kicker. Mare is a good one, and while he'll never replace Kasay in our hearts, I think it's a good time to move on.

I think it's crap we couldn't have signed a kicker better than Kasay.

Mare is better than Kasay is right now in all likelihood - I think he supposedly has been over the last few years too.
