Delhomme looking strong after surgery

Only seven months ago Carolina Panthers QB Jake Delhomme underwent Tommy John surgery. According to reports, if you’ve been to any Panthers practices over the past week you wouldn’t be able to tell that. Reporters have said that his arm looks stronger then ever, and that the team is letting him go all out in practice. Unlike another star quarter back in the league right now, Delhomme is under no “pitch count” at all, pretty remarkable so soon after surgery. Read more

Panthers and Jets reach deal for Jenkins

The New York Jets and Carolina Panthers reached a deal early Friday morning for defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. In the deal, the Jets receive Jenkins while the Panthers get 3rd and 5th round picks in this years NFL Draft. A relatively minor deal, I would think the Jets would look to rework Jenkins contract and lock him up for a few more seasons after giving up two picks. If they don’t try to restructure that would just be plain stupid.

Now to this deal, I think its stupid I really do. I know plenty are going to disagree with me but thats fine I think this a stupid deal. The Jets are in need of many things and instead of trying to acquire draft picks, they’re dealing them away and spending money left and right. Haven’t they learned that’s not going to build a winner in the NFL? What was the last team that bought their way into a title game? Yea good answer none recently and don’t say the Patriots. They’ve been there a while and with cheaper free agent picks ups (for the most part).

But lets look at this Jenkins, he’s good but is he really worth two picks? Yea he is a Pro-Browler but we all know the NFL’s selection of players for that is a joke. He’s already 28 years (29 by opening weekend) and has had injury problems. He’s not a pass rusher any more, he’s had only 6.5 sacks over his past 4 seasons in 37 games. In Mangini’s 3-4 scheme he might play better, but remember he’s played in a 4-3 his entire career and barely played like a nose tackle then. We know he’ll be a run stopper but who knows if his fat self will even show up to camp at his playing weight. He’s been known to show up overweight.

Please post your thoughts in the forums cause i would LOVE to see arguments disagreeing with me. Maybe I’m missing something about this guy, but i don’t see how he’s worth so much.

Panthers bringing back Muhsin

According to profootballtalk.com, The Carolina Panthers are close to bringing back Muhsin Muhammad. Muhsin played for the Panthers for 9 seasons before leaving in 2004 to play for the Chicago Bears. Last week, the Bears released Muhammad and the Panthers jumped on the chance to sign him. A League source told PFT, that the deal is worth $1.5 million a year, length of the deal is not known thou.

Muhammad’s best seasons came as a Panther, in his last season 2004, he had over 1400 yards receiving and 16 touchdowns. With the Bears, he never quite became the weapon they expected. I say thats partly because of what he had throwing to him out there in Chicago.

In Carolina, he definitely won’t get his #1 spot back that is Steve Smith’s job. He does have a chance at the #2 receiver position thou, he’ll be competing in camp with Dwayne Jarrett for that role. If he can perform any better then he did in Chicago, the Panthers could have a nice three headed monster there.

Crumpler to meet with 7 teams.

Free agent Alge Crumpler plans to meet with around 7 teams at next weeks NFL Draft Combine. “My agent was getting so many phone calls that I thought it would easier just to go there and meet with everybody,” Crumpler said by phone from Phoenix, where he has been working out, just before catching a flight to Indy. “I really didn’t want to go to five or six cities around the country.” The teams who look to be still in the hunt are….

• Buffalo Bills
• Tampa Bay Buccanneers
• Detroit Lions
• Green Bay Packers
• Carolina Panthers
• Seattle Seahawks
• Tennessee Titans

Looking at that list, who can use his services the most? I’d say Buffalo, Detroit, Seattle and Tennessee. In Green Bay, Alge would be nothing but a back up to Donald Lee. Tampa Bay well they have Alex Smith. So those two teams have solid options, but adding a second option like Crumpler could be big. It’s going to be an interesting scenario to see play out.

Teams lining up for Alge Crumpler.

The teams are starting to lineup for the services of Tight End Alge Crumpler, who was recently released by the Atlanta Falcons. What teams are showing interest? Well we’ve got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts. I’d say no surprise that all of the Falcons divisional rivals are interested. They each see him twice a year and know the numbers he’ll put up if healthy. While teams are interested thou, no team may speak to Crumpler yet. None of the players made the official NFL waiver wire Friday, and because of President’s Day the league offices are closed, so Crumpler isn’t “free” yet.

Crumpler has already had off-season surgery to repair minor knee problems and should be ready for training camp.He also posted 4-year lows with just 42 catches and 444 yards. But take a look around the league, he still had better numbers then Buc’s TE Alex Smith. While any team that signs him will take on some serious risk, the reward potential is enormous. Especially for a playoff contending team.

All of those teams looking at Crumpler definitely do have a need for a TE. Who knows what this guy has left in him thou, he’s been part of the walking wounded the past few seasons. But yet is still a terror in the red zone. If I were the Colts, Saints or Bucs its something you have to look into. For a team like the Colts, it would open up the field even more for Reggie Wayne, as teams will have to respect the middle of the field. For the Saints the same would hold true, and the Bucs, well they just need a weapon cause that offense just plain sucks.
