Panthers Released HB DeShaun Foster

As soon as they drafted DeAngelo Williams in the first round two years back you had to know they would pull the trigger at some point. Foster's injury history shows he's clearly not a starter anymore, and the only team I could see trying him in that role would be maybe the Texans. Otherwise, he would be an excellent change of pace back for a team willing to take a chance on him. He still wants to win a Super Bowl, and could probably be good for 15 - 20 carries a game. He had speed and breaks tackles well, as a signing he might slip under the radar a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back next in 2007-2008 with a quietly solid season as a backup.
