CB Antoine Cason

[El Chingon]

Free agent CB Antoine Cason will visit the Panthers.

The ex-Charger played only 169 defensive snaps for the Cardinals last season, struggling in coverage. He's still only 27, however, and just one year removed from being a 16-game starter. Cason would be a sensible, cheap flier for a team with a beastly front seven that takes pressure off its secondary. Mar 18 - 8:01 PM

Posted this is the Thomas thread but oh well

From last year...

Long and lean at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, Cason is a good fit for DC Todd Bowles' preferred press coverage. Although he's started each of the past three seasons, Cason could be coming to town as the Cardinals' No. 3 corner after they gave Jerraud Powers a three-year, $10.5 million deal. Cason's size could land him on the outside when Powers moves to the slot in nickel packages. Cason is coming off a year where he notched 73 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles, but graded out as the sixth worst cornerback in Pro Football Focus' ratings.

Cason was good in SD under Rivera so this makes sense. Sent from my SM-N900V using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Love Cason!!!!!!!!!!!

[carolina-chuck]

Wanted him last year.

How is Cason only 27? I feel like he has been in the league for over a decade. 

 

Would like the signing, though.

CB: Melvin White / Louchiez Purifoy or Victor Hampton / Josh Norman

CB: Antoine Cason / Terrell Thomas

SS: Roman Harper / Robert Lester

FS: Charles Godfrey / Colin Jones

Draft: 3rd Louchiez Purifoy or Victor Hampton

All of a sudden, I'm not too worry.

Behind this front seven as a slot guy? I think it's a reasonable signing.

 

I agree the value of most corners could be upgraded behind our front seven, just look at Captain. A secondary of 

 

CB: Terrell Thomas

SS: Roman Harper

FS: Charles Godfrey

CB: Melvin White

 

Nickel: Antoine Cason

Third Safety: Robert Lester

 

would not make me feel very comfortable. Might be able to get by during the season, but look what happened in the playoffs.

The majority of the Charger fans I know aren't big fans of Cason, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

I would be perfectly fine with that secondary going into the draft
