Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox said the team re-signed RB DeShaun Foster because it would save the team some salary cap space over Seattle Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander and Arizona Cardinals RB Edgerrin James. Fox said, "Going into free agency, we had to choose (from) Shaun Alexander, Edgerrin James and DeShaun Foster. After evaluating those three, we went with DeShaun Foster. That's what was best for us. If we didn't sign him, somebody else would have and it would have taken a little extra room off the cap to go sign one of those two other guys. Both those guys are older than DeShaun. Injuries are always a concern with all players. But we think, when he's healthy, he's a young top-of-the-line back."


speechless... foster is alway hurt and not as good when healthy anyways. He just decided he wanted to go cheap (alexander and edge wouldn't be worth the cost though).

Don't worry everyone when (not if) Foster goes down. They can just throw to Keyshawn.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
