Rivera was pretty high on Neblett. This stings a little bit.

[DaCityKats]

he was by far the best 3 tech on this team.hopefully somebody will step up, or we can find somebody to come in and help.

For all you calling him stupid id disagree. He probably saw it as necessary to stay in the league. Its not like he is a probowler looking for an extra edge. He was trying to keep his job. Understandable to me in all honesty, sucks he got caught though.

[Mr. Scot]

Guys that are on the bubble can't afford to pull stupid stunts.

Won't surprise me if he's gone in short order.

Panthers defensive tackle Andre Neblett has been suspended for the first four regular-season games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, the league announced Wednesday.

Neblett, a third-year player who was an undrafted free agent out of Temple in 2010, will lose $135,000 – a fourth of his salary – while serving the suspension.

A first violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances triggers a four-game suspension without pay.

Neblett can participate in the team's preseason practices and games, and will be eligible to return Oct. 1 before the team's Week 5 game against Seattle.

Messages left with Neblett's agent, Tony Paige, on Thursday were not immediately returned.

The Panthers are not allowed to comment on the situation.

Neblett, 6 feet and 295 pounds, started four games last season after rookie starters Terrell McClain and Sione Fua were placed on injured reserve. Neblett finished with 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 12 games.

Neblett is expected to be part of a rotation at defensive tackle that includes McClain, Fua, Frank Kearse and Ron Edwards, who did not play a snap last season after tearing his triceps during his first practice at training camp.

Not worried. Our season isn't riding on Andre Neblett. 31 other franchises read it on PFT and said "who?".

[SOJA]

liked the guy, unfortunate enough for him this probably signals the end of his run with the Panthers

[pantherclaw]

I honestly doubt that, you actually think Rivera is gonna tell the truth when Hardy could get in trouble?

Ron wouldn't say anything at all instead of lying.

[Doyle]

The guy was on the bubble what do you expect?

Get Shirley on the phone.

I was searching the Web to see if anyone picked him up. Cant find anything about him signing anywhere else.

Maybe the FO needs to think about bringing him back into the fold. Unless RR knows something that we don't know.

Cut his ass.

They cut Shirely and kept Ogemdi Nwagbuo. That pretty much answers the question.
