Panthers.com: Kasay released-Thanks John Thread

[CatMan72]

CHARLOTTE - And then there were none.

Kicker John Kasay, the last of the original Carolina Panthers, was released by the team Friday.

"He's meant so much to this organization," General Manager Marty Hurney said. "He's such a class individual with what he has meant to not only this organization but to this community."

Hurney said he told Kasay of the decision Wednesday after the Panthers formulated an alternative plan for their kicking game going forward. The free agent signing period officially begins Friday at 6 p.m. ET.

There should be an announcement that coincides with this one saying that the #4 jersey has been retired, and will be placed in the Panthers' Ring of Honor.

[Sam Mills Fan]

The greatest. Put him in the Ring of Honor ASAP.

Hope he retires because I can't think of something I'd hate more than Kasay kicking a field goal to beat us.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

sad to see him go.

[Gipetto]

i can finally stop spending money on madden to keep him from retiring

[malik]

There should be an announcement that coincides with this one saying that the #4 jersey has been burned, and the ashes will be placed in the Panthers' ash tray.

fixed :)
