"Good chance" Dwayne Jarrett doesn't make Panthers
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 5, 2010 5:51 PM ET
Dwayne Jarrett can't say the Panthers haven't given him chances.
The team has desperately wanted their 2007 second round pick at wideout to round into shape, but they may finally be running out of patience. Despite running as a starter early in training camp, ESPN's Pat Yasinskas writes there is a "good chance [Jarrett] is gone before the preseason is over."
It's a remarkable statement about the USC grad because the Carolina wideout depth chart looks as thin as any in the league.
The Panthers are reportedly "starting to think" LSU rookie Brandon LaFell is the best choice to start opposite Steve Smith. LaFell has impressed during camp and received first-team snaps at practice in Thursday. (Beat writer Darin Gantt cautions not to read too much into things, but that's what we do around here.)
Ditching Jarrett would be a continuation of an offseason theme in Carolina; they are finally letting go of many mediocre players that have stuck on the roster for too long.
