Byron Leftwich to be released or traded

***ramsanddodgers*** · -08-31-2007

As I type this Jack Del Rio of the Carolina Panthers is announcing on NFL Network (Live) that Garrard will be the starting QB and Leftwich has been released.:x

This is why I didn't put in my Mock Bets yet. Just in case there were any earth shattering transactions. Luckily there is still time for those who did to tweak their guesses....

Wow, i know hes not been super fantastic, but hes been solid for the most part, i bet he ends up in Tampa or Oakland.

I mayhave misunderstood that Leftwich was released. Sportscenter is saying the Panthers are looking to trade Leftwich.

I guess we will learn which is actually the case soon....

The Jacksonville Jaguars are parting ways with quarterback Byron Leftwich after four frustrating, injury-filled seasons.

Coach Jack Del Rio said Friday the team plans to trade or release the former first-round draft pick. Del Rio also named mobile backup David Garrard his starter heading into next week's season opener, believing Garrard gives the team a better chance to win.

I'm not so sure Byron would want to go to Oakland. They already have Culpepper, McCown, Walters, and Russell (if he ever gets signed). It is a possibility, but I don't see it happening. On another note, does anyone remember about if Kitna's backup is injured? I remember hearing something like that somewhere, but it may not have been the second stringer...

Adam Schefter was on NFL Network and was saying that though Atlanta would be the logical choice, Atlanta is interested in Andrew Walters and would be good in Petrino's system. Jacksonville is also interested in Walter. Jacksonville's offensive coordinator was Walter's coach at Arizona St. where he was great. You can see this video on nfl com

Anyone remember Rick Sutcliffe's delivery when he was still pitching in MLB? That's how Leftwich throws a football. He'll never be better than ordinary unless he shortens his throwing motion by about 60%.
