Discussion Our baby boy from Clemson.. I'm hurt

Such a sad "shoot the puppy" moment with Hunter Renfrow. I'm hurt.

He’s been dealing with a hammy for a while now. I think y’all might be overthinking this a little.

As said by others, he is a vested veteran not subject to waivers. however, practice squad signings can’t occur until 12:00pm the day after final roster cut- so tomorrow at 12 is when we will know (or sooner if someone else signs him).

I'm not sure the other teams have had a stab at him yet.

If he is a vet, I don't think he is subject to the waver wire.

I think any player playing over 4 years is an unrestricted FA when they're let go / cut, not subject to waivers.

Edit: yeah according to this he can sign immediately anywhere rules

No, he’s a vested veteran because he’s got more than four years experience, he skips waivers.

I’m dealing with this with the hope that he joins the practice squad while nursing his hammy. Then he comes back to be our future SB MVP.

He’s not been training for a few years. My guess is we’ll use this time to get him NFL healthy and in shape and it would not surprises me to see him get called up around mid-season.

I'm disappointed as well. Would've been such a great story for Hunter to stay in Carolina.

more of a "shoot the old, injured dog" moment.

I get the affection him being a local star but he was a year out of football and had an injury. He was a long shot to make the team even before considering the young bucks we have already.
