Everyone Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 User Actions FollowingProFootballTalkVerified account@ProFootballTalkPanthers waive CB Antoine Cason, per league source.

PrincetonTiger Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry, I don't know.If the release wasn't for an injury or major behavior problem he could be worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shive Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 If the release wasn't for an injury or major behavior problem he could be worth a lookHe's been a serviceable CB over the years, but I haven't seen him play recently, so I guess that would also play into the decision. The Panthers' defense is terrible. Was Cason a part of the problem or just a casualty of a poor defense? I'm all for kicking the tires.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincetonTiger Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry, I don't know.I did some checking and it looked like the release could have been caused by poor performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTS449 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 He isn't what he use to be but he would still be a very good 4th CB instead of Gordy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shive Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hard to tell because he has had some ups and Downs this seasonIf I recall correctly, he did very well in SD in their 3-4. Maybe the current scheme just doesn't play to his strengths? Wouldn't be a starter for us, but might still be solid depth and a step up from Gordy.

Valpo2004 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Teams don't usually waive decent players mid season like that. I doubt he has anything to offer us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKColt13 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Forgive me if i'm wrong, but isn't Cason more of a zone corner? Or am I thinking of someone else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDColtsfan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Carolina Panthers released CB Antoine Cason. Cason, playing on a 1 year deal is 28 and had 2 interceptions/44 tackles this year for the Panthers. Could maybe be an upgrade over Josh Gordy while Vontae heals up. Thoughts?

needanoline63 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I don't trust toler and butler. Colt McCoy putting up almost 500 against us?!? That's a horrible sign i don't care how you look at it. Cason is just in need of a team that's winning, losing games like the panthers are zaps the will and motivation from some of these players. Plus, 58 tackles and 2 ints. Gordy and butler? No thanks, secondary obviously not good without vontae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derakynn Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cason needs to not be bad. He is no better than Gordy at this point. There is a reason he hasn't stuck since leaving the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B~Town Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why in the nickel we need depth on the outside Butler is great in the nickel there and Gordy is fine as his backup we need a guy to back up Davis and Toler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least arguably4. If the Chargers let him go, that's a problem. But then again, with the emergence of Brandon Flowers.... Maybe he was the odd man out5. Has he cleared waivers yet?6. If Grigson feels he'll help, he'll contact his agent Now, go take a breather and come back and try this again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
