Eddy Piñeiro didn't get another deal from the Carolina Panthers this offseason. That wasn't a big shock to fans after another underwhelming campaign from the veteran kicker in 2024, but it's somewhat surprising to see him still looking for another shot with training camps around the league on the immediate horizon.
Piñeiro got the starting gig in Carolina last season despite holding out over early workouts and seeing off a challenge from Harrison Mevis. No new contract arrived beforehand, and the Panthers were right to adopt a wait-and-see approach.
The former college standout at Florida might be one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history statistically, but that doesn't tell the full story.
