THE Carolina Panthers May have a little competition for their return man.
According to Mike Kaye de The Charlotte ObserverThere is mutual interest Between the panthers and the ball carrier of the free agent Raheem Blackshear – the first kick -off of the team of each of the last three years.
Kaye, however, notes that the 26 -year -old rusher also arouses interest elsewhere.
Blackshear struck the NFL as a free agent not drafted with the Buffalo bills In the spring of 2022. He would find his way to Carolina later in September, when he was signed with the Buffalo training team.

Since then, the Panthers have used Blackshear as a specialist in main return, in particular on kicks. The 5 -inch and 190 pounds amassed 23 pounds amassed 23 returns of covers of clearance and 66 yields of 2022 to 2024 – on average from 8.7 yards and 26.3 yards per attempt, respectively.
Carolina has no clear replacement for Blackshear, who was not subject to by the team before the free agency. The only current members of the list who recorded at least one kick return or a return of clearance for the team last season are the wide receivers Xavier Legette (four shipping) and David Moore (two clearance boots).
