Minor Roster Move

[Proudiddy]

Broughton Released

From Gantt... Wonder if a signing is coming up? I'm kind of disappointed though because I thought this was a bargain pick up for us. Broughton is huge and athletic and I thought he had a chance to succeed Hoov later. Wonder if it was roster or off-field issues related.

We are trading for Owen Schmidt so he can be re-unitied with Pat White on draft day.

VICTORY!

I didn't even know this dude was ON the roster.

That would be AWESOME.:thumbsup:

Actually, I just read on rotoworld's blurb that they said he may have not reported to off-season workouts on time and thus was waived. Makes sense.

Schmitt > Pat White....

If true that's pretty stupid on his part.

nvm it's been updated by Gnatt.

The Panthers have waived FB Nehemiah Broughton, the former Redskins blocker. He was just signed earlier this offseason.

(Updated 4:03 p.m.)His agent, Harold Lewis, said Tuesday that the move was salary cap driven, and that he hopes to be back with the Panthers soon. Apparently, they were so tight after paying some cap charges that were scheduled to hit (roster bonuses, incentives) that they needed to clear Broughton's $460,000 off the books for a few days.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled kvetching about Julius Peppers.

My question is why for only a few days???????????????????

Clear waivers and then re-sign him.

[carpanfan96]

Clear waivers and then re-sign him.

I understand that part, but if we had to waive him for money reason's/ to get him off the books. Why would we only need to have him off the books for a few days. If we didn't have the money to keep him, then how are we going to have the money to resign him.

i love our front office..

do you know of any other team that would be able to dance around the line for so long?

you think Detroit or the Cowboys or anybody would be so stubborn and hang onto Pep, no matter how much of a bind it puts us in? if we had a lesser FO, Pep would be gone by now and we might only be sitting with a 2nd rounder in return.. but since we got Hurney, we are wiggling around so much more with so So SO much less..

haha, its kinda humorous..

its like teasing you little brother by putting your hand in his face and saying "im not touching you, im not touching you"

[Brooklyn Bully]

Yeah, I always laugh when some of you ponder if we're signing someone when we cut or restructure another (this season mind you). The update says it all.

I agree. Whats about our cap situation is going to change in a few days that doesn't involve Peppers?
