Panthers: Manning probably moving on

The News

Panthers cornerback Ricky Manning will be looking for a team that will give him a chance to start next season, according to his agent. He was used as a nickelback in Carolina last season. "I feel comfortable saying he's not comfortable with that role forever," agent James Ilver told Sunday's Rock Hill Herald. "He feels like he can be a starter in the league for the long-term. Last year, the moves they made deepened the team, and he was fine with it, he was a good soldier. But we're not willing to settle for that role long-term without looking at the opportunities that are out there for him to be a starter."

Our View

The Panthers could conceivably place a first-round tender on Manning, which would force any team that signs him to give up a first-round pick. However, Carolina officials have yet to say whether they are considering such a move.

He is JAG. Nothing to see here. Move along

Agreed, he has never done anything except in one playoff game.

If the Panthers thought he was anything more than a JAG that had a one fluke game in the national spotlight, they wouldn't have drafted Chris Gamble in the first round or signed Kevin Lucas.
