you think he'll be a starter?

Good for him, probably wont be a starter. He has a better chance of starting though.

woot 2,000 on the new board.

[Raskle]

Good for him! Later Gator!!

[AKPantherFan]

good for him!

cant remember the last time the guy made a tackle playing LB'r and not ST's....just sayin....

[Vagrant]

Didn't like him. Had hopes he could contribute, but then he starts huffing and puffing about not starting. Best of luck finding work.

Seward was a great draft pick for the Panthers. He was a 5th rounder if I remember correctly. To get 5 years out of a guy and have him contribute, all be it on mainly ST, is a solid late round pick. He was never really going to be apart of the main LB rotation but did show promise early on. I find it sad that guys like this go un-noticed / unapprechiated for what they do for the team. Just like Lucas and Goings, Seward's time was up in Carolina but for what he gave the team the past five years I say thanks.

is dan connor next to be like this..i hope not but with landon sticking around i dont see him takeing the place of Diggs..but it would be a waste for us to have him as a backup.

Yas is wrong in that article. The Pats did not sign Seward to an offer sheet last year, he just worked out for them and they never called back thus he signed his one year tender with us.

Also, things are looking good for us to receive compensatory draft picks in 2010. That is the 4th FA we have lost and we have not signed any new ones. Unfortunatley, Jones contract with the Titans was at the league minimum and those values are sometimes not high enough to receive even a 7th round pick. But Jones contract was for three years and that could help the computation somewhat. I am hoping Seward's is for the above the minimum.

Of course if we go out and sign 4 or more UFA's and they stick on the roster after cuts, then all of what I said goes out the door. Such is the way the process works.

you expected yas to be right? weird.

anyway....he was good backup and depth to have. i was glad that we didn't have to use him much in the past couple years. doesn't hurt as much as losing hangman but still...thanks for being a part of the team.

glad he has another chance to play somewhere. hopefully he won't be buried in the depth chart and gets some good PT there.

Hell and NO

[pantherfan49]

Seward is probably a serviceable starter in the right system. I believe that in preseason a few years ago, he led the NFL in tackles per snap.

Didn't Seward get hurt in the middle of the season, and never really return?
