Continuing with their purge of veteran players, the Carolina Panthers released another veteran player who is over 30 years old on Monday. This time it was longtime fullback Brad Hoover who had to take off his Panthers jersey.
"I want to thank the organization for 10 great years and the fans that supported me," Hoover said in a statement released by his agent, Tim Irwin. "I leave with a heavy heart, but I will be trying to play somewhere else."
Releasing 33-year-old Hoover will save the Panthers nearly $1 million in payroll for the 2010 season and ends his 10-year stay with the Panthers. The Panthers has gotten everything ready, with a plan to have second-year pro Tony Fiammetta replace Hoover.
During the one week before Hoover was released, the Panthers had already cut quite a few veterans including defensive end Julius Peppers, quarterback Jake Delhomme, defensive tackles Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu and linebackers Na’il Diggs and Landon Johnson.
