Just heard on 980AM that the Panthers are "on the verge" of simply releasing Jimmy Clausen. Wow.

I'm not a big fan but picking him up for nothing seems like a no-brainer

He ended the season 3rd on their depth chart and he's due a $920K roster bonus in a few weeks. So.

We wouldn't have to pay that $920K RB though. We'd sign him to a brand new contract.

Yeah I know I was just saying that RB is a lot for a 3rd stringer- prob a big factor in being close to cutting him.

I agree. I remember a lot of fans liking him and thinking he would turn out pretty good. I wonder what happened? was it the coaching change? or the system. I wouldn't mind kicking the tires. He can't be any worse then Crompton.... can he?
