The Carolina Panthers release fullback Brad Hoover
The Panthers have released 33-year old fullback Brad Hoover. Hoover played in 11 games for the Panthers last season and he carried the ball 20 times for 52 yards (2.6 ypc) with 1 TD run. He also caught 4 passes for 23 yards (5.8 avg) with a TD grab last season. Hoover played in 152 games ni his career with the Panthers in which he carried the ball 284 times for 961 yards (3.4 ypc) with 3 TD grabs. He also has caught 145 passes for 1,046 yards (7.2 avg) with 6 TD grabs in his career with the Panthers. The Panthers will miss Hoover who always played hard for them despite athletic limitations.
What’s up? are we dumping salary?
I could see not trying to sign Peppers, one of my favorites over the years, after he started doggin’ half a game, but Hoover?
I will trust you Marty, but you’d better be right…………
Don’t make this another Jake extension deal……………What were you thinking?
To me it does look like the Panthers are dumping a lot of salary. Things are not looking good for 2010 right now as the Panthers have not signed one free agent that will likely be a starter in 2010 despite losing a lot of talented football players of their own.
