Wait, what?

Panthers release cornerback Brandon Boykin

Exactly my reaction.

Locker room cancer?

Maybe he's not everything that he's cracked up to be?

If Rivera sees his new rookies as having a higher ceiling to justify his release, hard to think Boykin is anything special. Still looks as though the Panthers made a mistake. How could they know what they had in Boykin before even giving him a chance? They maybe saw him for 2 weeks of phase 2 conditioning workouts? I don't know how they could make that call.

For just north of $800k, he's worth every penny of that for any team.

Very puzzling indeed.

how much cap space do we have with leon hall and thurmond sitting out there

3.7 or so.

And they still have Burns, Davis, Hargrave and Hawkins to sign...that's why I think they will make something happen to bring Timmons CH down or go ahead an extend DeCastro...I would be surprised if they bring on a FA with a CH over $1mil.

They are sitting at a total cap space of $3,675,928

 

[SteelersPride]

Well scratch that

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Well scratch that

They need to free up some money if they are going to make any sort of moves right now. If they sign anyone like Boykin, Hall, etc, then that would mean they have plans to do something with Timmons or DeCastro soon.

Even if they don't go after another FA...those 4 rookies yet to sign are going to eat up a big chunk of the available cap...there will be another restructure somewhere...I just hope it's not Pouncey.

Not exactly what we were thinkin lol. Welcome back D-Johnson. Can't remember what year he walked from PIT, but it must have been 3-4 years ago? Anyways... Depth signing?

@SteelersPride @ATL96Steeler

[SteelersPride]

I guess they wanted to bring Ladarius Green's backup in lol.

I agree... Doesn't make sense unless there is an injury that we aren't hearing about yet
