Devin Funchess announced that he would not return as a Panther in a Cameo introduction video. In the short video, Funchess described himself as “a former Carolina Panther looking for a new team.” (Cameo.com is a service were people can pay to receive shout outs from the stars.) Sadly, Funchess never was a star in Carolina, despite at times flashing some hopeful potential. After four years of inconsistent play with plenty of opportunities, it appears that the Panthers are opting for a more reliable option.
Funchess is one of the last relics of David Gettleman’s attempt to big-body the opponent to death.
